Humm I did Cervinia about 4 years ago. Although at time did not have a great desire to go back place does tick all the boxes. Snow sure, high so decent snow, South facing so not freezing cold, good food, good wine, ok apres ski (very decent live band in 1 bar), short transfer. For Christmas likely few better places, hence you had such a great time. More I think about it probably worth a re-visit.

Did that have anything to do with our J2Ski 2013 holiday thread on the Bonjour Bonjour chalet, or was it just a coincidence?

I'm sure you'll have a great time!

brooksy I may well just do that as I am also staying in room 6.

AllyG, it isn't a total coincidence, I had put it on my short list of places I had found in the Tignes area we liked and then I had a look on here to see if anybody had stayed there and found that it's the place for J2ski holiday,(which helped make my mind up) I had never looked at the thread as I have to go at christmas due to my girlfriends work holidays.

I shall write a full review with pictures while I am there.

Not sure the Mrs was to happy yesterday though as I was more excited about booking this ski holiday as I was the honeymoon we also booked yesterday.

Thanks Mattski_score,
I didn't know you were getting married and going on honeymoon! That's really exciting.

It might be a good idea if you told John at Bonjour that you read about the chalet on J2Ski - I reckon it would help you, and the group of us that's going in January.

I know of another J2Ski couple who booked with Bonjour after they saw our holiday thread, but who aren't coming with us.

I look forward to reading your review when you get back, especially if you have any useful tips for us :D
