Summer Skiing in Europe

I'm going to make it short:

Where is the best place to ski in the summer for a couple weeks in europe?

I'm currently looking at zermatt, but it seems quite expensive.

Any suggestions where you get the best skiing for a good price?

Thanks

If you stay in Cervinia (Italy), you can benefit from accommodation and food which is much cheaper than Zermatt, but you can ski on the Plateau Rosa glacier (in Switzerland, but it's accessible from the Italian side as well as the Zermatt side). Did that last summer and it was awesome!

Another vote for L2A, brilliant skiing, a lot of stuff to do in town (get free stuff with your pass like pool/golf/dry luge et c.), big downhill scene, good nightlife, easy to get to, cheap accom.

Let me just back up these opinions with a photo of the park:

When I was here we also had a bit of snow. That photo is quite recent, probably 3-4 weeks ago.
There are also some nice little pistes under the park to just jib around in in the slush.
