Can someone please recommend a European resort for snowboarding (snow boarding, holiday)
Hi,
Could anyone recommend a resort in Europe that's good for snowboarding please. I guess the attributes I am after a wide slopes; good chance of quality snow; at least one boarding pak; decent nightlife etc. I am going in Feb 07. I have been to Meribel (Trois vallees) which was great, however I hear that Tignes, Les Arcs, Chamonix etc are also good, so can anyone recommend somewhere else? I am happy to go to any country in Europe. Thanks in advance. Tom |

Not enough powder, main lifts can get very busy, limited nightlife, although it can be good at Murschetg (sp?). To the OP... ValD and Tignes are good, so is Les Arcs (more so 1800 for the night life). Chamonix can be good, but you can get stuck when the bus service stops running. There's also Austria which is the party capital of Europe, outside of Meribel perhaps. - Dave. -- The only powder to get high on, falls from the sky. http://www.vpas.org/ - Snowboarding the worlds pow pow.

Most is steep and narrow. It's crowded too, when there is room for carving there are too many skiers. The only downside to St Anton are some of the uphill sections, particularly if they close some of the usual routes due to avalanche danger. The steep and narrow is fun, there's oodles of off-piste, and there aren't that many beginners. I liked the place. - Dave. -- The only powder to get high on, falls from the sky. http://www.vpas.org/ - Snowboarding the worlds pow pow.
