I am just hoping everyone likes skiing and I will not be going during the school hols next time. I will take the kids out of shcool.

hopefully we will be able to pick up a bargain too.

then again if it all goes pear shaped I will be advertising for a ski buddy on here cause whether they like it or not I will be continuing going skiing for the forseeable future even if it is on me own! lol



Good for you. I always did, and it made for quieter pistes, and cheaper holidays.

Between December and April go skiing in on of the many ski areas. There are too many south of Munich to give detailed descriptions here. If you want to spent 39 Euro for a day ticket the “Zugspitze” ski area is definitely worth a visit skiing and snowboarding on the glaciers below the nearly 3000m peak of Gernaby’s highest mountain. The gondola up to the summit starts close to the town of Garmisch Partenkirchen (take highway 95 from Munich to Garmisch) and in Garmisch follow the signs towards the “Zugspitzbahn” and “Gondel”. After skiing you can enjoy the public swimming hall of Garmisch, which is well marked. This swimming place features normal pools, some hot pools and sauna. The best way to relax after a day of skiing.

Karen again: it means nothing to me but thought it might be worth a look or you might have heard of it.

Tony-H not sure if you are sorted yet but Garmisch and mittenwald is definately worth a look. We did it a couple of years ago while at Seefeld. Cost us 7 euros each on the train, stopped at Mittenwald did a few slopes and then went on to Garmisch. High altitude and ski pass was for both resorts.

The resort of La Clusaz had already been mentioned - and is perfect for short breaks being under an hour from Geneva.
We have chalet short breaks over the Christmas and New Year period - includes catered chalet, transfers and your full region lift pass.

Suitable dates would be Sat 27th to Tue 30th Dec, or Tue 20th to Sat 3rd Jan - find full details at http://www.skiweekender.com/christmas.htm

Hope that helps...

No, Paul, it doesnt, as I have already booked, and I dont want to be limited to going on particular dates either, thanks. But cheers anyway, good bit of advertising mate!


Is this the rudest response ever, Tomy_H ?? you are a bit blunt here. he offerred you an option (albeit that you did say you had booked) but other may be interested.

Perhaps you should try it rather than your 8th time at Maryhofen. La Clusaz is a nifty little resort actually... better than MH.

I STIL cant wait for your magazine............ :D

The main tour operators dont seem to advertise dates in Austria until 20th Dec. But they advertise Finland/Ruka/Levi/Lapland around the beginning of December. If that fits in with your dates.

Most resorts have their own or a tourist authority website. For example, Mayrhofen is www.mayrhofen.at
On that site, you can perform a search and send a specific enquiry based on dates to suit you to hundreds of B&Bs, hotels, pensions, etc. I would imagine that you would find something to suit your needs.
