Skiing in Europe - absolute beginner

Hi,





I am never skiied before and wanted to spend the last 2 weeks in December learning how to ski/ moving hopefully to an intermediate level. Would also want to combine the skiing with some Austria / Germany esp Munich sight seeing





Needed base level advice on which resort/ village i should choose. Travelling single, i would prefer that the place be a bit lively / have some nightlife.





I am also evaluating if France / Switzeland are better options

Bear in mind the following:



The last 2 weeks in December (Christmas/New Year) are peak season and many hotels require a minimum number of nights - normally at least 7 (this will also include France/Switzerland). Some places require 10-14 days booking. ( A few years ago I went skiing at La Plagne just for christmas - 7 days)





Some of the lower lying resorts can not guarantee good snow conditions.





I assume that you will have a car which means that your choice of resorts would be wider. Which airport do you intend flying in to?

Hi,





I wont be having a car. I will have to do Train/ public transport.





As for airport, the best option for me is Munich ( direct flight from India). Vienna is the second option
