2015 where are you going?

Hi Gareth.

Yes, I have gone DIY. I am actually flying to Venice with Lufthansa through Frankfurt. It does involve changing planes but is very competitively priced (bags, including skis are included in the price) and total travel time is about 5 hours - a bit longer than a direct flight but I reckon you lose the travelling day anyway so no great issue with this. You could also fly with the lovely Ryanair to Bergamo, though the transfer will be longer (and more expensive).

I got a nice hotel through Booking.com. Its in Vigo di Fassa. Not directly on the Sella Ronda but reasonably close with regular skibus connections.

I am going out on the Saturday and back on the Sunday so will get 7 full days skiing :mrgreen:. Really looking forward to it - was there 2 years ago and had a fantastic time :wink:.

It used to be simpler when Aer Lingus flew direct to Venice but bizarrely, they only start the service to Venice in the middle of the mid-term week :shock:. Still it would be available for trips starting at the end of the mid-term :lol:.

Thanks Wanderer,
I always do DIY too but usually just 3 or 4 day trips.
It's a lot harder from Dublin now as Ryanair don't fly regularly to Grenoble or Turin which really limits the options.
Still never been to Dolomites but hope to get there in March.

*lip trembles* Not sure we're going anywhere snowy in 2015 ... Mr P wants to visit family on other side of world (and not in their ski season either!)

Divorce??

I wasn't meant to be going on a ski trip in 2015, as i WAS getting married in May. But my fiancee and I split up a few weeks ago :cry: The only good thing to come of that is i am now booking a skiing trip with the lads! May try St Anton....

Sadly only the one trip next year. Probably Les Deux Alpes at Easter. Taking the motorhome over again. Hopefully a couple of the kids will be able to make the trip. Then Florida in the summer courtesy of my parents timeshare. So can't really justify two ski holidays...............or just maybe if I can get a really cheap last minute somewhere.

I am hopefully going somewhere in PDS in January, however it will be a late booking I think as I am meant to be saving for a Wedding and honeymoon in 2015 and these things dont come cheap. I REALLY dont want to miss out on a ski season :oops:

Heading back to our favourite chalet in Scheffau in january. 3 big birthdays in the family in one week so friends joining us there too. Sooo looking forward to it!
