    My favourite place is Morzine, but quite expensive. Have you got a budget in mind?

    Not heard of Sella Ronda, I will have to take a look now.

    I don't know Morzine, but if you're recommending it I'll have a look. It will cost us in the region of £1000 each because we have to go at half term :(

    That would be enough for Morzine, you can ski Avoriaz & Les Get from there and also cross into Switzerland.

    Meribel was nice but stupid money. Also Zell am See Austria was pretty, with lake views.

    I've done Meribel, it was a bit patchy and slushy and very busy when I was there. I like Austria, is Zell am See high? I tend not to risk lower resorts. Just having a look at Morzine.

    Morzine sounds a possibility, will have to start my skiing spreadsheet now, it will make a nice change from the bank account one!

    I have got expensive tastes, which is why I'm posting on a Debt Free Diary Forum. Hotel les Airelles, £1400

    Just googled it, looks lovely! Not that I'm encouraging you to spend £1400!

    That is the one problem with Morzine it's quite low, Avoriaz is high and you can still do the whole area. It's a man made village designed to blend into the cliffs from a distance though, not a pretty village.

    Zell is 2500ft apparently!

    Am going to look at Zell, haven't been to Austria for a long time (for skiing) and husband is half Austrian.

    I don't need any encouragement!

    Was Zell good skiing, well boarding! Ski Club says limited terrain but it does sound nice.
