Excellent. I was in Florence a week ago suffering in 36 degree heat. Looking forward to some proper weather soon.

Probably too far south for the light show. I think you need to be in the north of the country near the arctic circle boundary. Can't believe you missed my in-depth report.... :( |

We learnt to ski as a family in Hemsedal, Norway. No nasty surprises, some decent green and blue runs and uncrowded slopes. I thought it was a great beginner resort.
Our 1st ski holiday was in April 2010 when our children were 12 and 10. They loved it. We're now a lot more experienced and a lot poorer after a further 4 skiing trips since then! The kids are now happy to tackle black runs. I think Neillson arrange package trips as well as Ski Norway but we've always gone down the DIY route. Have a look in the scandinavian section of the forum for a report on our last trip to Norway. Try to get your children a lesson or two in an indoor ski venue in the UK beforehand if you can. It really helped push our two on (and us adults). |

Might take a little longer than that depending on which bit of Les Arcs you are staying in. We've not used the funicular but I think it's only 10 or 15 mins up the mountain?
We were lazy last time and just hailed a cab. Took about 30 mins to get to Les Arcs 1950 and about 65 euros. |

Roll on the winter. I've had enough hot weather thanks....

I've looked into driving in the past but ruled it out. We would need to drive for 4 to 5 hours to get to Folkestone (approx 230 miles). Another 600 miles and 10 hours after that + the chunnel not appealing!

Thanks Ally but I've just gone on the site now and the standard return leg is showing as sold out. i think we're going to give up..... |
