Howdy Ags, I'm in need of some help planning a ski trip in Europe for Mid March. There are so many resorts over there it's overwhelming. I'm thinking I'll fly into Geneva, Zurich, or Salzburg. I just can't decide what resort to go to. I've looked at Chamonix, but it seems really spread out and I don't really want to rent a car.

Also the Swiss frank just appreciated significantly against all currencies.

I have skied in Austria and Italy at least 30 times. My favorite is Italy by far, around Arabba, Cortina and generally all around the Dolomites. Kronplatz is also awesome.

Austria has excellent skiing too. Zell am sea, mayerhoffen, bad gastain, etc. are all good places and reasonable. I usually stay in family run bed and breakfasts, but there are plenty of options to choose from including top notch ski in ski out hotels.

Did France once and it was very nice too. Some people that I know don't go anywhere else.

Garmisch

Looked into Verbier once, but never went.

Alps offer better skiing experience by far. Resorts are bigger and more connected, better food, slope grooming, apres ski, thermal spas, and it all costs half than in the us.

Booked a flight to Munich and I think we're going to ski Kitzbuhel or the SkiWelt resort.

Public transit in Cham is amazing. I have never waited more than 10 minutes for a bus. And it's only one of the best mountain ranges in the world. I'm never disappointed. Let me know if you want to hire a backcountry guide. I have a few American friends who live there. Skiing the Valle Blanche is one of the most memoriable things you will ever do in your life.
