What would be the best area to stay in if we wanted to ski and also be close to the old town of Salzberg. We are beginner skiers. Thanks in advance

Charlotte Bath asked:


So if i were looking for a ski holiday (preferably France) but not too fussed, how cheap would it be with everything included… So with flights (Gatwick or Southampton ideally), accommodation, lift passes, ski/boots hire and whatever else is needed! I can’t seem to find anywhere that does the whole package?:S I’m looking for going for a week with 3 others so 4 overall (don’t mind sharing 1 room or 2 rooms). Also looking to go around the end of January 2012 but these are all just preferences, so feel free to change any details:):) THANK YOU! x

asked:


I’m sorry for asking what may seem a very silly question but I’ve never been on a skiing holiday before so I genuinely know NOTHING about them. I basically want to know how to go about booking one. I’ve found accommodation and flights to one resort but need to know how do I actually go about getting on the slopes? Do I gave to buy some kind of pass? I’ve heard of lift passes, would I just be able to go up the lift and use the slope all included in the price of a lift pass? As I am a complete beginner I’d rather have some kind of instruction so how would I go about getting this and any idea what all this would cost? (So far flights and accommodation to a resort in France are setting me back £600 for 2 of us) Thanks and please feel free to add any tips/extra information as I need all the info I can get

I’m going ski-ing to France soon – only my 2nd time

I’m going on a package and it says that all ski hire equipment is included by helmets are not provided as they are not a legal requirement in France.

Forget whether they’re a legal requirement or not, would it be worth me actually getting on – either trying to hire one from a shop when I am there, or buying one before I go?

I’m not a pro skiier (have only been once in my life before) so wont be going fast. That said, the fact that I am such a beginner may actually be more or a reason to wear one as Im more likely to crash!

What do you think? Is it worth it, or will I just look stupid as nobody else in France will have one?

Tommy Williams asked:


I am heading to Grindelwald in Switzerland for a ski holiday next January and I was wondering if anyone had any experience of Altitude ski school who are based in both Grindelwald and it’s neighbouring resort of Wengen. I have done a couple of weeks skiing before but would really like to be able to push myself a little harder and finally be ready for black runs.

Many thanks in advance for your answers.

Lushy Lauren asked:


Where do people recommend to book it and we were thinking andorra or bulguria?!

matthew asked:


any ideas I would like to stay in a hotel that’s as near as possible to the Mountain but that’s flexible if the price is right. The £1400 has to include flights from england and accommodation and lift passes (but not ski hire) look forward to hearing your ideas many thanks
PLEASE REMEMBER I’M FROM ENGLAND CHEERS

We are planning a skiing holiday over Easter 2012 (first week in April). Are there resorts which have a better snow record late in the season?
