Anyone got accomodation in Europe Jan/Feb?

Hi,

I am a forty something single lady with a good level of fitness who had some dry ski lessons years ago but would like to go skiing somewhere in Europe with a group preferably containing someone of a similar ability. Any offers?

Lynne

Hiya, I have a friend about your age based in Arabba, Italy. You could try her website and see if she has anything. She really knows the area and has different groups coming in all the time so its easy to socialise. www.simply-dolomiti.com Her name is Sue - from Angela

...or even just www.simplydolomiti.com

sorry

Now this is a promo for the world of the Guiding fraternity! Look at www.ourchalet.ch - this is an international Guide Centre which allows others to also stay. It is in Adelboden and I was there 2 years ago and had an amazing time, and the cheapest way to stay in Switzerland, beautiful views, lovely staff, nice rooms, no pressure to join in anything, so if you want an evening of chilling, chatting, soaking in a bath and doing whatever, so you can. Flybe go into Berne and then it is a 50 minute train journey to Frutigen then a connecting bus to Adelboden but as with all things Swiss - very efficient, but you can fly into Geneva and Zurich. The skiing is very good - type Adelboden in your search engine and it will come up with the village website, the World Cup skiing was from there at the weekend, it is a fully working Alpine village with goats and cows, lots of shops and people living in the way people in the Alps live! (Didn't see any lilac Milka cows though!) I was on my own two years ago without a care in the world and am going again this Feb. The skiing suits most abilities, with plenty of places to stop for a hot chocolate, take in the view and chat to people from all over the world. Flight, bed, breakfast, evening meal, train fare, lift pass and ski hire for about £600!

Scouts have a similar center in Kandersteg, Switzerland and neither centre would turn away business if they are not full!

Otherwise Neilson do solo ski holidays, where they have hotels specifically for skiers going on their own, which was my other option so you stay in a hotel where there are other people on their own, and if I remember rightly you can book just the accommodation.

Skiing is a very sociable holiday! Hope this helps!

PS Forgot to say the staff come out with the guests on their days off so it does alternate who you go out with, so last time I skied with people from Argentina, Honduras, Canada, Australia, Denmark, etc. Made it a very interesting experience - and great fun!!

last time I spoke with them bookings were down so I would expect they have got space.
