Thanks for your replies, not sure if we fancy France because as you say could be very very busy over the half term period. Italy we have thought of but really like the idea of Austria as its very pretty - even though hubby just wants to 'ski' I like the places to be 'chocolate box'. Thanks anyway will try the tour ops again and see whether I can get a cheaper price.

Yep, very ridiculous and yes open to offers, really liked Neiderau but again its coming up at a couple of thouand and thought we would try somewhere else. That price is with a tour operator - it includes all ski passes, lifts, equipment etc but it seems be along that price wherever we look. Reason we looked here is because we have been told it is very family orientated - and good for beginners and intermediates.

Hi there, right then I was wondering if anyone could help me on this site. Me, hubby and two kids, been skiing twice before - Bulgaria and Neiderau - about three years ago - want to book Filzmoos now - looking at time we want to go its looking about £4000!!!! Could we do this independently and if so how much do you think we could save please. The time we would be going is either just after xmnas or Feb h/term and yes we do have to go these times. Thanks in advance for your help )

You lucky things all going skiing, got the bug but only managed to ski twice, fingers crossed we will be going either 11/12 but Debiski can you let me know how you get on Filzmoos, I have been looking at this place and heard quite a few excellent reviews on it. Enjoy

:thumbup:

Congratulations to you both and all the very best for the future

Hi

My family and myself went to Borovets 2 years ago, first time skiing so wanted a rather cheap holiday (just in case we all hated it). Anyway back to Borovets, we stayed at the Hotel Rila, very very smoky, waiting on staff not very friendly, food was ok actually, kids ate something every day and I'm a veggie and I had no problem. Heard lots of peopel saying that food was warm but did not come across this problem. Ladies of the night - yes there were many but of no real concern. A lot of strip clubs which meant a bit of explaining to my children but there you go. Safety - now that is a different matter - fire in Hotel, no fire alarm or anything, we had a knock on our door saying there was a fire which was quite evident when there was all smoke in the corridor. Neilson reps were absolutely awful, no answers to any of our questions about why fire alarm wasn't activated etc. This was the last thing really as kids were then very afraid to be in the hotel. Last year went to Neiderau what a contrast - will not go through all the good points as there are loads on the J2SKI forum relating to these. Would I go back to Borovets - NO but I may try another part of Bulgaria. Hope this sort of helps :-o
