sorry if this has been asked before but does anyone know what time the lifts start in the morning at Niederau and close in the evening? I've been onto the official website and it tells me which lifts are open but not at what time they start and finish.

Thanks for your help.


My advice would be have another beer and stay in bed and wait until the sun comes up in "N" about 14.30. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:


You'll be getting PMs from the Mayor of N soon if you carry on like that.


Apologies everybody, I have been a good boy of recent but I just could not resist :oops: :oops:

A good company to check out is Peak Retreats-they do good deals for chalets throughout France and can include ferry or channel tunnel crossings.
You can find them online, Peakretreats.com I think.
Good luck.


I have used Peak Retreats and there accomodation good if on the small side, it's fine if you don't mind bodies all over the floor at my age I like a little bit of comfort, but by booking direct with the owner, yes you might have to translate a bit of French but you will find cheaper accomodation. :wink:

Cost of Honeymoon to Cuba for 2:£1700

2 x Upgrade too Premier Cabin £400

2 x Seat Reservation £50

2 x priority Booking £50

Total of add ons = £500

That is almost a third of the price of the main holiday again. They say there is no profit in holidays....no, it is in the bl00dy extras :evil:

(sorry, had to get that off my chest!!!!)




You didnt have to pay the extras, or go to Cuba, or get married, but you chose to. It better be a fantastic trip at that price!

I have never paid more than £80 for a return flight to Europe.


My best deal was to southern Italy for £113 return, by the way that price was for the three of us :shock:
