I choose France as the skiing can be superb and I can speak well enough to survive cheaply
I'm however drawn to Italy

If you've never been on skis or a snowboard before, head to your nearest indoor slope. Gives you an idea of which you'd prefer and if you even like it.
A holiday is a lot of money if after day one you hate it. |

A lot depends on your budget. Factor in the cost of lunches and western Europe can add up quickly.
Bulgaria does offer a lot of value for money for beginners as you won't "ski out" the resort in your time, plus you'll get morning and afternoons whereas France etc only give you half day lessons  |

The best ratio of price to quality is Austria by a good way. Huge choice of resorts and accommodation for all levels of competence and budget. Instructors all have great English. Lots of places have pretty well guaranteed snow.

Pas de la Casa - Andorra. Whilst I was regular skier pre-kids each season going to Tignes , France, I plummed for Andorra to introduce the kids to the sport - far cheaper and excellent ski school for the kids and we always had good snow.

I personally love Tignes! You can buy a ski pass that covers the whole Espace Killy so that includes Tignes and Val d’Isere.
It’s not the cheapest but no where in France is cheap really.
I’ve done two winters seasons there and some time in summer including this summer. It’s a beautiful place and a very friendly resort.
The only downside is that due to it being so high and hardly any trees whiteouts/bad weather days are common and can be a real pain in the ass!
Message me if you want any more info. |

We're off to Andorra in January.
Been over most of Europe, but this is new to us.
Ski packs and lessons for the sprogs are amazingly cheap, and they get morning and afternoon classes
Just looking for some relaxed reds, with the odd minor challenge.

Or brevieres....but we always went over to La Daille, Fornet or Solaise as you say. Next lifts over there too now!
Trouble with going over to Val on bad weather days is if they close the lifts your screwed! We managed to get a lift back once... |

Going skiing in Norway (Beitostolen) at end of Feb, with a group of friends.
Booked early, so flights and accom are cheap enough but the 140 mile transfer from Oslo for 14 people, is proving a bit pricey. |
