Large ski resort and plenty of snow and good forecast

Hi

I am looking to go skiing, next week for 4 days, i usually go to the 3 valleys, but the forecast doesn't look good plus i am concerned about the lack of snow can any one recommended me a similar alternative please.

Well Chamonix had 70cm last week, 50cm in forecast for this week and 50cm for week after. Conditions are epic at moment. Completely different experience to 3 Valleys but if you like offpiste then probably no better place on earth for next 2 weeks. Also much more appropriate for 4 days given the one hr transfer from Geneva.

Italian ski resorts are generally easier than French

Milky way is not comparative to 3V. A red in sauze can be equivalent to blue in 3V

We stayed in sauze, my opinion the best as the local skiing area is good if you are restricted from going over the top into sestriere

Sestriere is also very quiet at night.

also depends if you are family or stag do.

More info?

Thanks for that, we stay indoors at night we prefer the quiet resorts, how accessible is it to the other resorts

La Thuile in the Aosta Valley ticks the boxes. Lots of snow forecast, One hr 30 mins from Geneva, 160 kms of piste that would suit and the option to ski to La Rosiere in France as well. Disadvantage is lack of Chalets etc so you would need to stay in a hotel.

I can only comment on Milky Way.

Personally i would say sauze. It has got apres but you can stay in too

Advantage I think it has is the big ski area in sauze then also easy access to the rest.

I have only ever been in March, the weather and conditions were great. I will certainly be returning
