Skiing at easter

We have just got back from 2 weeks in Austria and have decided we need another snow fix this year!

Anyone have any information on what skiing is like in Austria at Easter - am also open to suggestion on France as have never ben there skiing

Family of 2 adults and 3 kids like to cruise reds and blues

thanks in advance

Sounds like another one for Obergurgl or Val Thorens, or somewhere similar.
I skied Verbier early April last year and it was fantastic. Fresh snow most mornings, although it did rain in resort at 1500m, but thats why you go high. I like the light evenings, staying up on the mountain until everyone has gone after the last lifts, and then skiing back off with the place to yourself.
Let us know what you choose.

I know of a nice apartment in Kaprun 2 bedrooms close to village centre, 11 April for 1 week, if weather holds then you can ski in Zell am See as well on the same pass, but if not the glacier is a few minutes from apartment. Bye the way we were also in Abu Dhabi , kids went to Al Kubairat, ant even remember how to spell it now. If you need any info for this apartment please get in touch

Hi Nadia Race

My kids go to Al Khubairat also. We have been here 8 years now so things have changed a lot.

We would need the apartment from 3rd april which is the start of school hols - any availability?

if it's altitude you want then it may be worth having a look at the espace killy too (tignes and val d'isere). it wouldn't be a budget holiday though.

Obergurgl wouldn't either but I think you'd love it there.

Hi caron-a

I have been doing a lot of research on Obergurgl and you are right - it is not cheap. The best I can do is 400 euros per night for the five of us. A bit out of my budget as we have just got back from 2 weeks in Austria. Might have to wait until next year I think :(

anyone got any ideas?

Hi cwagner,
Have a look at ski horizon's website and you may be able to get some accommodation in France for a reasonable price, though not sure what the availability will be like this late on. They tend to price things per apartment, rather than per person so with five of you this could work out to be very reasonable, even with flights and car hire. Sadly, they seem to be more limited for accommodation in other countries.
Have look and see what you think. :D
