You don't need to go skiing to need this bookAugust 18, 2005 16 out of 16 found this review helpful
but if you are a keen winter sports fan and want to avoid the usual 'package places' then click to buy this book immediately. Covering the mountains of Austria, France, Italy and Switzerland it provides page upon page of desirable places to stay with useful details of distances to piste/lift etc alongside each one. One of the other aspects of these Sawdays guides I find most useful are the quick reference indices at the back of the books, in this particular one covering things such as 'one hour or less from airport' (for those snatched weekends) and'Rooms for 100 euros or less'. Lovely photos of all the properties with accurate descriptions (they are all visited), I never use anything other than Sawday's guides for accommodation now. Most highly recommended.
