Dolomites-where to go
Hi Rob,
We rather fancy the Dolomites for the scenery. Any recommendations for the best place to stay for a couple of competent intermediates in early March. I was at the Val Gardena over the weekend, and if you are into scenery and food you would love it. However, I guess I would class myself as a competent intermediate, and I found it pretty unchalleging. I only found one run (and that was not even marked as a run) that was harder than the hardest BLUE runs I found in the states. Quite fun though, and a big area to explore. I am flyng back there at the end of this month, so any sujestions about harder areas would be aperitiated. I was going to try Cortina, mainly because it is near Trevisio. Also I heard it is were people go to be seen rather that ski :-). Have fun, Hugh -- If you have questions, please direct them to the newsgroup. Email address is a spam trap. If it were easy, it would be called snowboarding |

Very Italian, not expensive and bang on the Sellaronda circuit. If the snow is reasonable you will have a great time here unless you are looking for wild nightlife. Snow making facilities are widespread and cover the main transition routes and more. You can ski to/from various areas such as Corvara, Colfosco, Selva, Canazei and Campitello. The Hidden Valley run at Lagazuoi is within reach by skiing to Armentarolla and short coach trip. If you do a search on google will bring up a number of NG postings on this spectacular run. I will go look up one I made a few years ago and re-post it if you wish. Clive |
