Your absolutely right, me no speaka l'lingo :shock:
I have heard that the Austrian Riviera is nice 8)
Ian - I am fairly sure that language is feminine so it would be la lingo and not l'lingo.
:roll:
But its like anywhere, if you stop high up, you'll get snow, generally. St Anton, for example. I think the difference is Austria has old traditional towns and villages lower down as a base, whereas France has a lot more purpose built resorts at altitude where ski in ski out is more normal.
As for the food, I like Austrian cuisine. Wholesome, wintery, and good value. France does over price it drastically, sadly, and that is a fact.

Nah OldAndy. Only the people who like France anyway can understand him :lol: I did GCSE French and haven't got a clue what he said. I bet he typed it into Google translate :lol:
I wish I could meet the person who first decided to strap 2 planks to their feet and throw themselves down a mountain

Used to summer holiday in France when kids were younger but it just prices itself out of contention when you want to eat and drink out. Dread to think ski resorts charge to partake in the holiday necessities.

I speak from experience in places like Mayrhofen and Niederau. Unfortunately for N, it doesnt go too much higher, but at least M has high altitude slopes but the resort at 690m is often dry.Ian Wickham wrote:
The one thing that turns me off the whole Austrian experience is that they struggle with resort level snow.

I'm not really anti Austria as I am not really pro France.... I started skiing France as it was the nearest place to drive.
France is expensive but you can manage that by resort selection it does not have to be wallet busting experience, but I suppose my favourite place to ski would be Italy, nice people, excellent food and normally excellent snow.
Remember just because someone disagrees with your opinion does not mean they are winding you up :wink: :wink: :wink:
