Hi All

Can anyone suggest anywhere to go summer skiing for a long weekend and how to get there etc, I've looked at going to Hintertux as its only for a couple of days but cant seem to get flights that are reasonable from the UK.

Many Thanks
Steve

Les Deux Alpes or Tignes, via Geneva or Lyon?

Saas Fee or Zermatt via Geneva or Zurich?

Any good?

Ok thanks I will have a look, flights to pretty much everywhere seem so expensive though

Probably Tignes your best bet-got the height/lifts/etc. and not too far from Geneva. Be prepared to be on the lifts by 8 to 8.30am and probably finish by 1 to 2 pm latest. Staying in Tignes can be expensive, especially in the summer months, consider staying down the road a couple of miles in Tignes les Brevieres-B&B, hotels etc. half the price of Tignes itself. Good luck.

Suggest hiring a car - public transport, even in resort, is far less available than in the winter.

Don't know where you're flying from but EasyJet have got plenty of mid-week flights that'll come in around GBP100 return through most of August; don't think that's too bad?
