To get some "Festive" feeling, take a Chalet holiday. Quite often European resorts celebrate on Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day is not a big event. New Year's Eve is normally the big one.

Some resorts do dress up their streets, it does tend to be the traditional places.

I absolutely love Kendal Mint Cake. Just saying )

Does having Glide Cracks mean I can go clothes shopping?

Yes, I agree (warning! non professional and subjective view coming up)
I reckon she will do fine. Everyone learns at their own pace, especially children. For the number of weeks she has skied :thumbup:

I'd like to know who the Tour Op is, I'd like to avoid them because of their T's & C's.

Do talk to your C/C company. The Tour Operator is in breach of Contract.
Also get in touch with Trading Standards Consumer Direct, who have a useful online service.

I'd be tempted to look for a flight unpackaged and do your own thing, using the local Tourist Office to find you accom.

Yes, you can buy singles and returns, however unless you are planning to use touring equipment it would not be to your advantage.
There will also be tickets for Pedestrians.

For an Alpine skier, it's best to buy a Day ticket the Chamonix Le Pass, which will cover you for all the lifts, or a multi day ticket, if you are in resort for a few days.

If you want to ski from the top of Grand Montets, check that the ticket you choose will cover you for the cable car Lognan-Grand Montets. You'll likely need to book a place.

If you want to see more of the area, then choose the Mont Blanc Unlimited Ski Pass.

Hope this helps :D

This page should help you choose the best Lift Pass..
