skiing advise where to go??

[Kashmir]

Hi, Me and my Boyfriend looking to go skiing mid nov and looking for some advise

Where would be good to go for scenery & good skiing for beginners
Where is the best place to go for good snow to ski in, in November!! is that a good month to go in
I want some where that also has a good nite life, clubs, pubs restaurants etc
Nice accomadation dont mind self catring or chalets
Not looking for something toooo expensive.. is it better to get all inclusive deals or not
Is it better that i start booking it now or can i get some good last minute deals.

if anyone has any recommendation any lovely places they have been to or good deals would be very useful...

really any advise would be useful

This is our first holiday together and want it to be a perfect experience

Thanks

You can book a ski holiday last minute, but it is probably safer to book early. If you book now you are likely to get a good deal, since now is the time all the deals start coming through for this winter.

I have noriced one company in particular, Madame Vacances, who have a multitude of residences, hotels and chalets in ski resorts in the French Alps and Pyrenees. They are currently offering 15% off of ski holidays for this winter :

I think the skiing in switzerland is fantastic. I think gstaad is particularly good for beginners. Here is some information about the area:

This site has more information about the restort (you will also find information about the nightlife on this one):

As for accommodation... in my view in ski resorts there is almost never anything 'cheap'. But here is a site that lists chalets and other options, and another site that lists hotels:
