Hi

Looking at flying to Geneva early April, so good connections/transfers important.
Wife & son (9 Yrs) first time skiers. Me very average Intermediate.
Want a good ski school, best bet for snow, authentic resort with good spa/pool/steam/sauna facilities.
Any suggestions really appreciated.

Many Thanks

good luck, in-bound airport for us most convenient is Zurich which is a short-hop for you folks. Its me and my 5 year old, and he is an expert skiier (no sh*te), i am the "low intermediate"...
Skiing is good for the soul!

Thank you for your reply.

I was in St Anton for a week start of Feb, visited Lech/Oberlech. Fantastic lunch at Burg Kristal.

The skiing was easier at Lech than St Anton/Stuben/St Cristophe. You will no doubt try these areas, great for your "expert" son.

Have fun!
