Reply To: Ski resorts from Chambery (non skiers)

If, as you said, you want a traditional Alpine vibe, Andorra isn’t the answer to your question.

Why not get a flight to Venice or Milan (two big cities that aren’t really infected by ski mania) and transfer to somewhere in the Dolomites? Italian resorts are more likely to be low-rise and traditional, and the food is infinitely better than in any other Alpine country.

Or, perhaps even better, fly to Munich and go to an Austrian resort like Zell am See. You can get there by train, there’s loads to do beside skiing, it’s super-pretty, and you have a range of easily accessible and interesting day trips such as visiting Salzburg.
