Random ski resort reviews

Madesimo is very nice for a short break. Friday night all the Italians turn up for the weekend from Milan and then the place comes alive. The resort is very small and you can walk one end to the other in about 10-15 minutes. We only saw two drag lifts hence this is a very popular resort for snowboarders who arrive in droves at the weekend! All the slopes can be skied in a couple of days and the learner slope is right in the resort - very wide and nice and easy. Madesimo is a good place…

Apres ski hot spot of Tyrol! This little town is popular with young people from Holland, GB and lately Eastern Europa because it has a lot of pubs and bars in town and on the slopes. It reasonably priced for it's hotels and guesthouses. It is not as chic and populair as it's neighbour Kitzbuhel, but a whole lot more charming. They do share the same skiarea. It's quite big too! The slopes are mainly easy reds. There are three different gondola and chair lift stations: two just outside…

Few places can match its combination of excellent advanced and intermediate slopes, reliable snow, magnificent scenery, Alpine charm and mountain restaurants with superb food and stunning views. Zermatt is not ideal for beginners, despite recent efforts to improve matters. Moreover Zermatt is pricey. The lift passes are one of the most expensive around. The lifts are not very well connected and tend to be crowded.
