FAMILY SKI HOLIDAYS
La Tania is one of the best family ski holiday resorts in the Alps. The kids ski area is at the centre of the resort and the runs above La Tania are gentle and tree-lined. Serfaus in Austria offers great kids programs and a family friendly resort . The Stubai Glacier also has an excellent kids ski program.
SKI WEEKENDS
Short transfers are key for ski weekends, ensuring the greatest amount of time on the slopes or resort. Morzine has an excellent short transfer and impressive resort. Seefeld is great for families, whilst Innsbruck has its own airport, endless entertainment / amenities and ski areas on every side.
GROUP SKI HOLIDAYS
Zermatt is one the best for corporate skiing, whilst Zurs am Arlberg is ski-in, ski-out, with top hotels. Soll or Mayrhofen offer some of the best stag and hen breaks. Alpe d'Huez or Les Deux Alpes are excellent for pre-nuptial madness. Chamonix, Val d'Isere or St Anton offer serious alpinism and partying.
KONIGSLEITEN SNOW REPORT
Snow report from Konigsleiten, December 09 with heavy snow falling.
APRES SKI HOLIDAYS
Austria is the après ski king - try Solden, Ischgl, St Anton and Mayrhofen or Saalbach . In France - Val d'Isere, Morzine or Meribel, whilst Pas de la Casa, Sauze d'Oulx and Whistler can guarantee that you'll never see the first gondola. Prices vary: Austria and Andorra offer good value, France less so.
SECRET SPOTS: BRAGGING RIGHTS
There is little better than having one up on a skiing or snowboarding acquaintance. Resorts that offer you ‘bragging rights’ are Stuben am Arlberg, Austria, a ski resort which accesses the St Anton ski area and has above it the best off-piste in Austria. Sainte Foy, France is the place to head when it snows in Val d'Isere.
