Mayrhofen v Soll

Thanks

It depends what exchange rate Inghams were using when calculating their prices. At the moment the pound is the highest it's been against the euro for over a year, and today the Visa rate is 1.20 euros to the pound, less whatever your bank charges you for foreign transactions.

So, if you really want to know the answer to your question it involves you doing some homework, because you'll have to check all the prices online and then calculate what you'd be paying in pounds, and then compare this with the Inghams rate. And if you decided Inghams is too expensive you'd have to book it all separately, which is a lot more work.

There's probably not a lot of difference in the price, and Inghams may be doing a deal where if the lift passes are cheaper in resort they'll refund the difference. You could ask them.

I was thinking about buying my own lift passes online today, and paying for the rest of my holiday which is priced in euros, and buying some euros, because of the exchange rate at the moment. I don't suppose things will improve further from our point of view, although one never knows.

Poacher. Question was 'Austria' or 'Austria'. You can't answer 'France'. :lol: Same similar (not same same) conversation - "Mr W do you want chocolate ice cream or strawberry ice cream?" "I'll have cheeseburger and chips". :roll:

I'm advising :D

But its too general. Theres some good places in France to ski for sure, as there are in Austria, but you can't say one country is better than the other. In my opinion.
Mayrhofen or Soll? I've already offered my advice based on having been to M and not having been to S for various reasons but having considered it.
If you said Austria or France, I dont think you could give an answer.
Alpe d'Huez or Val Thorens I could help you with however.
