Maybe a chalet would be better, we stayed in a hotel, but xmas day was just like any other.

This year we are going to stay home at xmas and ski at new year.


Thanks snapzzz. Not too surprised to get this feedback - I think I expected it.

In any case I've spoken to the kids tonight and they are voting for Xmas at home although happy to go away over New Year which is very gracious of them. More expensive that week though (not that they are bothered!!). Anyone stayed with this company:-?

I'd better start saving up.


I know the feeling, it is more expensive and it will more than likely be very busy too. As we left ADH it started to get very busy for new year.
With this in mind we are likely to try and find a quieter resort for this time and go to a bigger one in early feb


Well I certainly didn't get into skiing to benefit from cheap holidays. You only live once......
slippy slidey snow......me likey!

I have been on ski hols many times at Christmas including Tignes, the French resorts seem to not make a huge "Christmassy effort" so it doesn't feel much like christmas where as Canada is amazing at that time of year.

If you are going to ski at christmas and want that "christmas buzz" then I recommend Canada or USA.
