Skiing after Easter this year will be very limited.


I think that your statement really only applies if someone is looking to ski at a resort which has a short season.

For example Zermatt will run it's winter timetable until the 8th May. Then go onto the summer one.

Cervinia is open until 8th May

Saas-Fee seems to be open right through May and June (but don't quote me on this)

Hintertux is saying they are open for skiing year round.

Yes bandit - glacier resorts will have skiing. As long as the punter knows that skiing into May will be on limited slopes with limited lifts open then great.
I'm in Tignes for Easter w/end and the week following. The links to Val D'Isere are open until beginning of May, but I don't expect the whole resort to be open.

Hi,

I think Tignes/Val is open until about the 6th May and the last skiable day in Les Arcs I think from memory is 30th April this year, as with other resorts it could be just a case of using the ole internet to check when various resorts are open until and then check the ski conditions for them.

In the last skiable week in many resorts the lift passes can be half price which is good, and if buying a daily pass the actual last day is sometimes free :) which is good.
