    The ultimate Euro equivalent we dreamed up, but never actually executed, was out in Chamonix, sleeping at the Cosmiques hut (3600m / 10 000 feet), a "commute" involving a big snow arete and a cable car to the valley, and a rather annoying 300m track in town at 1050m altitude.

    Nice joke. The cable car costs a bomb, as does the mountain "hut". Also the cable car is often fully booked. Also Chamonix is packed with tourists (I had lunch there last week).

    No mention of Sierra Nevada, Sestrières or that place in Bulgaria yet.

    Bansko?

    Sestriere is the way to go. Cheap as f..k in case of food and accomodation. I think the track costs like 5€ the entry. You might even bump into Canova. It is at 2000m altitude. Epic trails around for all support runs !

    Sestriere ITaly
