Austria
- Pro's: close by, not that expensive
- con's: kinda crowded, we've been there several times (time for something new?)
Options
- Ischgl (about as expensive as Soelden)
- Salzkammergut with Dachstein West/ as basecamp (lots of smaller resorts within 1-hour-car range, pick one and mix it up by going to others: Tauplitz, Krippenstein, Loser, Dachstein (contrary to the name, Dachstein West is not actually at the Dachstein))
- Obertauern (medium-sized, a bit lower, probably too low for later than mid of March)

Italy
- pro's: interesting mountains/slopes, high altitudes, cheaper than ch/fr
- con's: Further away, more expensive than .at, some lifts are less modern than in .at/.fr
Options
- Cervinia (Italian side of Matterhorn/Zermatt)
- Sella Ronda (probably in Arraba or Alta Badia)
- Monterosa (probably best in Gressoney for easy access to the red slopes. "Adventure tours" possible by going up Passo Salati/Punta Idren and heading down on the Alagna side. Note: Adventure tours most likely require a guide, most of the interesting stuff in Alagna is far away from the piste and not the "near backcountry" like in St. Anton or Soelden)
