Anyone got any recommendations of what, where and who? We're also after
cheap/functional accommodation in the Aosta area for a couple of nights,
either in Aosta or any nearby ski resorts - any reccomendations.


Gressoney (MontaRosa ski area). No question.

Hell yes. But don't tell everyone.

Just got back from there, they need snow pretty badly at the moment (on
piste is fine but hard packed, off piste is not looking good... and
neither are my skis), but it's a fantastic area. Cheap, friendly, great
skiing, great restaurants, easy to get to, v. quiet in the week (busier
at the weekends but we had no queues yesterday - Saturday). Doesn't get
much better IMHO.

I should write up a bit more about the place but (a) I'm knackered and
(b) if you know, you know. Carrying on from an older thread, I'll just
add that a large beer costs from €3.5 - €4.
