Leaving 31st Jan - 7th Feb

Montgenevre - on the French/Italian border
The package includes
Flights and transfers
Accommodation
Food / wine
Ski passes
Been before with this company and have had the most fantastic
time - just change of circumstance means he can't go.

(Depending where you are = we might even be able to arrange travel to airport)

If you're interested - please get in touch.
Thanks

Hi there

flights from where? what type of accomodation? what star rating? how much is the holiday? is it going with other people on something organised?

Hi I am just wondering if I need to buy ski straps for my skis or do they come with the hire of the skis? also do i need a lift pass holder? I am going to Niederau Just wondering if I need the lift pass on an elastic type mechanism to be able to swipe turnstyles or are they not like that?

Also is there anything I can buy to temporarily put on to the hire skis that will differentiate mine from someone elses?

Hi there

we too are off to Niederau in 2 weeks time. Hubby and kids are in ski school and it is definitly 2 hours in the morning 10-12 and 1-3.

There are definitley a few Niederau experts on this site who will give you the advice you need.

Because I dont know whether hubby will want to go skiing again, we have hired our ski jacket and sallopettes. We live in the North East and it cost us £30 per person. Apparatnly the stuff we have hired is worth near to £200 (so they tell us) just put a search in to Yell.com and put in ski shops in your area and most will probably hire you ski wear.

Do you not fancy doing it yourself?

Hope this helps

saw this advertised in the tv guide and it is on bbc2 tonight at 10pm well now lol

It is about winter sports adrenilin junkies i think.

worth taking a look?

No ross you are supposed to say "Oh its a doddle, nothing to it, dont even feel it"! lol

we are going from Newcastle to Amsterdam on the dfds ferry.

Is it only ski boots you get this with? I have noticed the same with new trainers. My feet go like pins and needles when I first start wearing new trainers! I dont have the best feet in the world like! I just live with it. Not suer if it will be the same with ski boots. will let you know!

In Hindsight I wish we were flying out now. After speaking to my neighbour who is in the merchant navy and has gave me a few stories of sailing in the north sea, I think I am about to have more of an adventure than I bargained for!. I cant help looking at the north sea ferry videos on youtube! lol please let it be calm!! the kids better bloody appreaciate this and not fight all the way there! enjoy your holiday. look forward to hearing about it. take some pics with a camera though lol!
