That looks good, should reduce travel. I will look into that, although I dont think I can get flights from Bournemouth I think we can from Southampton which is not so far away.

On my wish list of places to go is Switzerland. The only thing I can only get a week at a time off from work. Every place I have looked at trying to fly from fairly local airports the transfer time is always about two to three hours. I am of the opinion that the extra time spent travelling equals about two days of my hols. Thats why I have usually chosen Austria with short transfer time and can usually be out and about on the first day. Am I looking at the wrong resorts or is this about the norm?

Rose, it really depends on your arrival airport. For example, most winters charter aircraft fly into Sion in Valais offering a very short transfer time. Within an hour you could collect your bags and be in a resort such as Nendaz, or Crans Montana.
If you want a package, Inghams are one travel op that uses Sion. The downside of a little airport which is sqeezed onto a bit of the Rhone Valley between two mountain ranges...well the Swiss have been building wind turbines at the end of Lac Leman :mrgreen:

We normally fly into Geneva, with an early flight. If we have hired a car, we can be in resort for lunchtime, it's around a two and a half hour drive.

Havnt the Swiss recently finished a massive railway tunnel, talking about an hour off the drive to the ski resorts?
I'll look it up.
