Easter suggestions with things for non skiers

Wondered about Norway or Finland but looks like flights really limited by Easter

Any other ideas?
Just fancied something away from the usual resorts so the non skiers can do more than walking and sitting by the fire!

We went to Norway at easter. It was lovely. We did ski but had a day off for a mini cruise on the fjords. It was good to do a non ski activity and the hotels are catering for non skiers.

We stayed here.

@NCTDN what was the actual skiing like? And can I ask where you flew from/to?

We flew Manchester to Bergen but a quick search suggests that's not as easy now. The skiing was good in the morning but went a bit mushy in the afternoon as it was v warm.

@Tellingitlikeitisnt Are the non skiers adults/granparents or kids? What are they into what is the ideal?

@SkiYetiMagic it’s actually us skiers who fancy a bit more of a varied holiday as we have already been skiing once this year and were originally planning a city break for Easter but now want to ski again for at least part of it.

@Tellingitlikeitisnt Sounds like you could do a few days in a city then a few days on the slopes. Have you considered Turin? as a city it has amazing museums inc the cinema museum and some great restaurants and shopping. If you went here for a few days you could head either up into Aosta valley to Champoluc or go across to Via Lattea and stay maybe in Claviere or Sestriere. Both options are easy from Turin.
If you wanted something a bit different you could try a few days in Ljubljana in Slovenia then head to Vogel and Kranjska Gora for your skiing fix. They are very small resorts but Vogel views are spectacular and if you are combining with a city break it might be enough. Or theres Innsbruck you could couple this with Solden maybe? I can't stop!
