Ischgl or St Anton are both good bets for what you want - both have excellent skiing and mad après ski :shock:. However, you will struggle to get accommodation near the snow for anything close to sensible money :cry:. Finding accommodation can be a struggle for short stays but can be done. Best to keep to one week if at all possible, i.e. start your trip on a Saturday. Alternatively, take the late flight to Zurich on Friday evening and stay somewhere half way to resort on Friday night and then head straight to the slopes on Saturday morning. This way, you only mess up 1 week for property owners. Decent ski bus services in both places so be prepared to stay out of town but budget for a few taxi fares for drinking evenings :wink:. St Jacob or Pettneu near St Anton have lots of apartments/rooms while Kappl is not a bad option for Iscghl if you can't find anything closer to town.

If these don't work out, you could look at somewhere like Flims/Laax in Switzerland. It is only about 2 hours drive from Zurich and has wonderful skiing. Hotels are much more open to weekend trips but apres ski and food are expensive:evil:.

Another +1 for Solden

I organised a long Easter weekend trip for 6x40 somethings a few years ago and Ischgl didn't want to know. We ended up going to Solden and had a blast.The après ski bar at the bottom of the piste was pumping

4 of us shared the top floor "suite" at Hotel Sunny Solden and we had plenty of room. Certainly a bedroom each from memory
We've also done Cervinia for the long Easter weekends and that's always a laugh too
