We also do not live in UK and I found a fantastic deal online just by googling 'cheap xmas ski holidays france' I was amazed at what it turned up. The chalet I ended up booking was still advertising at 200 pounds per person over the rate I got from an obscure website. I have picked up deals like this before - just by googling exactly what i was looking for and not specifying 'chalets'

I hope this makes sense :-)

p.s. we don't speak a word of French either :shock:

We will also be in Grand Massif that week, staying in Morillon Les Esserts though (Morillon 1100)but will venture over to samoens

Would like to add to your group but even though we think like we are in our 30's :wink:we are a bit older and with 3 kids in tow skiing and boarding

Have a great week :-)

on the countdown now - 11 more sleeps until we get to Morillon

I hope I am getting excited for the right reasons as we have never been to Morillon!

ooooh dear - that long :oops: I must be slipping :lol:

Yaaay - hubby has agreed :D off to Morillon for xmas :D :D :D :D

Thanks for the update Ian. From your description it sounds ideal for what we need. I just mentioned it to OH - again... He is not budging yet :roll:

I have just shown the kids the pics of the chalet so they will help me with the convincing:lol:

Enjoy your trip :!:

Hi all

I have comer across a deal for Morillon for xmas week that is only 299 each - not including flights. Slopeside chalet fully catered. I am in the process of convincing OH that we need this week away as well as our two weeks in Austria in Feb.

Can anyone give me any info on Morillon as we have never skiied France before?

thanks!

Hi ginnie

We went to Scheffau last xmas and it was great. We had a huge dump on xmas day but even before that it was fine. The whole area is very pretty and the mountain restuarants are good. The village is very sleepy but then we go there to ski and our chalet - chalet heidi - was very lively at night thanks to Mike and Caroline and their staff!!

Look out for Mike on the slopes with his birght orange jacket and all his ski tourers in tow

Great place and we would have gone back this year for xmas but chalet is all booked out!

have to wait for end of Jan for Oberlech and Kitzbuhel
