Prévisions de Neige pour Rauris

We are about to return for our second holiday in Rauris. We stayed at the Alpina which is a great hotel with fantastic food, although, at first glance the portions aren't huge, however, they just keep coming with courses and I was never hungry; and I have a great big appetite for good food. The Alpina does not dissapoint. if I had to be over critical, the pool could be a few degrees warmer this year please, but don't let that put you off staying here. The resort is very much a village with friendly faces who actually greet you and chat, there are never any queues on any lifts and the tobogan run is a must, but on the nights of the floodlit run there was a little too much snow for me to go, (chicken). The walks are superb; fantastic prepared walks between the gondola stations are a must do, beware they say they take an hour and we were taking 3 hours minimum as we wanted to take in the stunning scenery. This is not a village for late night party fiends from our experience, which suited us perfectly. If you want smaller, friendlier, happier, no hassle skiing you have to try Rauris. Forget endless bars, gift shops, hurry places, that is not what Rauris is about. Take the horse drawn sled rides at night, it is wonderful. Be warned about the free rocket fuel schnapps. Now I wish I hadn't told you all that as I am looking for a late deal bargain for Rauris and now you lot will all go there, hope to see you there mid January. Ian
