    Alps Trip Late January

    And if worth it, could widen the drive radius to 3 hours which would add in St Moritz and Verbier as options as well. I will have the option of returning through Zurich but as of now am committed to arriving in Milan.

    Alps Trip Late January

    now that some of my parameters are locked in I think the dolomites are too far. for 3.5 days of skiing I'd love to keep it under 2 hours driving from milan. based on my last few hours of research, champoluc/alagna or aosta/courmayeur seem like good options. I just cant get a sense for how they...

    Alps Trip Late January

    I should add that we are down to just two of us. My cousin who is in to off piste dropped out so it is just me and my father. Which really means a lot of piste skiing or gentle easy access off piste. Given the lack of snow I would imagine most easily accesible off piste is long tracked out so...

    thanks. our plans have changed slightly. we now plan on leaving this sunday and it looks like our best option is a air Italy flight to milan that lands at around 630 am. we will need to leave on Friday. it seems like there are a few options closer to milan which make more sense given the tight...

    Thanks Tony. As we have been to Zermatt already we want to try something else. It seems like if off piste is not great given the lack of snowfall than this could be an ideal time for the Dolomites. From what I can gather, even with three weeks of no snowfall we can still probably get close to a...

    Given my window of the 18th-30th, I am beginning to get concerned by this massive blob of high pressure that has kept most of the alps sunny the past week and seemingly will for the foreseeable future. If this keeps up, I may need to shift gears from a trip focused on off piste to one focused on...

    Seems like it has been snowing and will continue in near future in a lot of areas so we will have options I think. Tony, re:Engleberg 1. Is all guiding including private guiding limited to the weekend or just group guiding? If 4 of us want to share the cost of a private guide I would have...

    I am actually not a big United guy but I use Chase cards for my business which transfer to United at a 1 to 1 ratio and have plenty of those. It seems like even on the day of departure you can book one way flights to either geneva or zurich for 37.5k which while not great normally given the...

    Tony, the photos from your Val trip are incredible. Outside of the extra drive time, are their downsides you see to that area based on my needs?

    Thank you all for the responses. Yes, we do not planning on booking even flights until within a 10 day forecast window. United has pretty good mileage availability from newark even day of so we definitely intend to wait. We will need 4 hotel rooms in the same hotel which could be problematic...
