Yep. Seriously. Never heard of it!!

Not marketed by any TO's that I'm aware of.

Surely its not a place that you've always wanted to go Tony?

The simple answer to the original question here is as Old Andy highlights.

1. Find a place you want to go to, when you want to go, and how you want to get there. Then book it, paying whatever the going rate is. Then you will have no worries, look forward to your holiday, and hopefully have a brilliant time.
If you dont it will be down to you!

2. Concentrate on price as the most important aspect of your holiday. Get a great 'CHEAP' deal to somewhere you dont really want to go, flying from an inconvenient airport at an inconvenient time.
Content yourself with a mediocre week but pat yourself on the back for having got a 'DEAL'!!!(and having your choices made for you by the TO's!!!)

For most people who ski one or two weeks a year route 1 is a No-Brainer in my view.

Yep, considering the lift passes cost about that price that is a brilliant deal. I assume flights will be extra?
I have been looking at spending Xmas and New Year in North America this year but cant believe how expensive the prices have become!!! :shock:

I know its the festive season and that gives carte blanche for rip off prices, but I have skied Colorado, California, and a good few resorts in West Canada over the past few years and have always been able to find a reasonably priced break.

For 14 nights we are looking at £2500 each, and then there is the lift pass at around £750.( And I'm talking a Comfort Inn type place, not the White House!!)

Are Europeans being priced out the market for a reason? Maybe some of our North American contributors could let us know why they no longer seem to want our custom? :?

Tony, if you need it 'cheap' which seems to be high on the list, I wouldn't consider Zermatt. Cheap it aint, and with the pound languishing against the Swiss Franc............. :cry:
