This is a vague request at present.

My partners 50th is next May and I need ideas for a cheap but good European ski resort for 7 days in March/April. We are intermediate/advanced skiers. This also includes our 2 boys aged 7 and 10 both good skiers but still require some lessons if only for 3 days to get their ski legs back.

I have presently been looking at Val Thorens and Sauze d'Oulx.

We've done Niederau for 2 years and don't wish to go back just yet. Sorry Dave Mac.

Thoughts please.

Thanks in advance.

How about Andermatt? A bit off the beaten track. Not all that extensive but quite varied pistes. Some really good off-piste. Or try Saas Fee if your budget will run to it. I quite like Val Thorens - but it is a bit of a soulless place for a major birthday, I think.

Les Coches...puts you easily in Paradiski in either direction. You could never ski it all in a week. If you want to find English speaking ESF instruction for your boys then check out

I think they must have put the Bulgarian resorts in there for the cheaper option, In my humble opinion I think I will leave Bulgarian skiing till after I am dead 8)

I don't know about "N" going missing, but the geography of the Independent isn't all that - it says Sauze D'Oulx is in France!!
