Start using Mumsnet PremiumBeginner slopes mid April
(6 Posts)Do any ski experts have any ideas of best locations with the best chance of beginner slopes being open?
We can’t go until April 13th! We only want to go for a few days to allow our two to practise some skills they would ha e hopefully picked up after a few lessons in the Snowdome!!!
Many thanks for any ideas
I think it’d have to be one of the higher resorts - Val d’Isere/Zermatt etc. Otherwise you’re going to get a lot of thin snow/icy patches which is no fun to ski on at any level, let alone as a beginner!
There are a few websites out there with useful articles if you google “best late skiing resorts” or similar - here’s one that might be useful:

There have been a few snowheads posts in the past for similar questions e.g.

Val d. Beginner slopes are high
Avoriaz was fine mid April as beginner
And things to do like pool etc
I was going to say Montgenevre and see it's recommended in that thread. We went at Easter last year - admittedly much earlier than this year and an epic season - snow coverage was amazing and loads of nice long easy blues and greens. Nice resort too - not huge but restaurants have the Italian influence and there is a spa you could go to as well. Open this year until 27/04
