Just come back after another great skiing holiday. Conditions are great at Macugnaga. Slopes are empty. It's really a little gem of a place. This is really a fab place to learn to ski or go for a weekend. We stayed in hotel Signal where the hoteliers really are great. They can't do enough for you & the price includes private collection from the airport & the food was great: spinach ricotta was gorgeous.
Don't go expecting amazing apres-ski though.
It's early April and they have just had 70cms of fresh snow which the snow reports website aren't reporting. It's a shame as the local area could have got more business over Easter.
The ski passes are much cheaper than other large resorts: we paid 11 euros during the week & 16 euros on a weekend.
Easyjet fly into the local airport so this reduces the overall price.
