Advice for real beginners

Fri, 4 Aug 2017 13:25:46 GMT

I'm looking for some advice, please! We are a family from Brazil, so snow is not part of our lives at all, but we really love it. Last year we took our first vacation in a ski resort in Canada. Everything was perfect: the resort was easily reached from the main airport where we arrived, although it was a purpose built resort it was very charming and cozy, the snow school was really good and there were great smooth slopes for beginners, with amazing views, so we enjoyed a lot even as first time skiers/snowboarders, and finally, prices were ok for this kind of sport. So, our overall first experience was really great. Now, we want to book a resort in Europe for next winter but we have no idea where to go. As I can say after searching the internet, there are plenty of great ski resort throughout Europe and this is exactly the problem, too many options! So, to make a shortcut for us, can someone give us any advice about a nice and cozy ski resort, short distance from a main airport, good and suitable for REAL beginners and not so expensive? Any suggestion will be truly welcome! Thanks! Obrigada!

Bom dia ! I'm sure you'll get plenty of good suggestions from the folk on here, so you'll soon be looking forward to your next trip. Are you planning to take lessons ? You obviously have a good level of English, which most good, professional instructors in Europe should have. My initial general thoughts would be to look at Austria, but let's see what others say before we get into too much more detail

Tks! Yes, we intend to have a ski/snowboard class at the first day just to recall the "techniques" as there is no way we can practice it in Brazil! And yes, I've been searching for resorts in Austria as well but it will be much better to hear it from folks here!

Lovely skiing and some great food in the mountains.
