Skiing

Ian writes in Sport & Leisure

Want to go on a ski holiday this end of year or February next year. Probably one week with wife and kids,  Not an avid snowboarder, so decent all round slopes are necessary! I want to stay close to the lifts....

Also need a great place for the children (10 and 13) to unwind and meet lots of friends

Spent some time the last few winters near Austria... but is pricey and far away. Basic accomodations are fine... nothing fancy good food options in restourants our preference,perhaps even an apartment?

Never been to a Club Med. Anybody been and can recommned?

Looking to France and Italy ? I hear the Dolomites are great but where to start looking?

Hi Marc,

thanks for the list. Will do some homework on the places you list.

Hi,

Why not avoid the queues and steer clear of the Alps altogether, (although in my opinion, La Plagne would be ideal for you, ski in ski out, family resort, not attractive in the town but miles of piste to go at) Try the Pyrenees, see the link for a guide:
