Next season

Looking at going to Solden next year, seems pretty snow sure and some good apre.... any feedback from that resort?

Zermatt (wanted to get there this year but failed), La Clusaz (as usual - home from home) and maybe Banff. Niederau appears to be compulsory for j2ski-ers so I'd better go there and see the Jan-Man at some point.

Oh, and Zinal, just to poach some of Ise's lines (although I think I've got a fat chance of beating him up the mountain without a heli-drop...).

Zermatt was on my hit list, but when I mentioned it to a few people, they all put me off with various reasons. Is it really all its cracked up to be?

Mind you, I didnt have Verbier on my wish list, and ended up having a fabulous weeks skiing there.

New Year at Serre Chevalier. Nothing else sorted as yet. Hoping to get a week in Italy at least.

Ah, Serre Che. Somewhere else I have to try......

hi have you lot booked all rooms in niederau already? was looking on crystal site at prices and no matter what date i put in niederau did not come up!

Tony H, you have to include Zermatt. You can leave it a few years, though, if you wish, Zermatt's greatest attribute is the Matterhorn.

We had a week there last year, but were sufficiently attracted to take a day off from Saas Fee and get another Zermatt day.

There are drawbacks, getting up the mountain in the crowded big cabines, and the associated lift queues, are a pain. Once up the mountain, it is pretty open. The views are terrific, from Zermatt, and from the top. Skiing through to Italy for lunch is very pleasant.

didn't realise crystal dont do holidays to niederau,sorry!

I guess when you typed in Niederau and nothing came up, that was a pretty big clue?

I would try Inghams if you want to prebook. However, you can always get very cheap deals on the usual websites - bookableski.co.uk, skideals.co.uk if you can be a little more flexible and book later. Pensions/Guesthouses there can be had for as little as £150 B&B per person, inc flights and transfers.
