Boys weekend - Saalbach, Chamonix or Schladming?

Its his boys weekend away and you are doing the organising :shock: :shock: :shock:. Very suspicious :twisted:. Why are you so anxious to get rid of him? What do you get up when you get him out of the country? :twisted:

Seriously though, I think prospective destinations for a weekend break should be dictated by the amount of ski time you can factor in for the least amount of time away. This is simply a factor of the availability of reasonably priced flights at good times. For example, I am hoping to organise a weekend in January, probably to Soll, flying out to Munich at dawn on a Saturday morning and coming back on Tuesday evening. This should enable me ski for 3 and a half days (half day Sat, Sun, Mon and virtually all of Tues - need to leave resort around 4pm to get back to airport). Its a pretty good return for only 3 nights away and two days off work. BTW the skiing and apres ski in Soll are pretty good :wink:

I would suggest that you start by looking at the flights and work from there. Can't help with recommendations between the resorts you have mentioned but suggest that you be open to widening the search based on good flight times.

Thanks for all the replies.........

Wanderer - I do the organising because if he did it it would be return flights via private jet, helicopter transfer to resort, 5* hotel etc etc - if it's a boys weekend then he can have Jet2, B&B and kebabs with his Jagermeister!

Scarlet - Schladming is comingup favourite for the group hol next season - Sport Royer/Royal hotel looks good - we'e also mid 30's so looking for the same I would say - nice hotel, central accommodation, apres ski and snow sure.

Ross - Scandinavian girls......don't even tempt him!1

Saalbach was the best ski w/e we had with another couple - pints of wine served up the mountain whilst sitting ina deck chair.....needless to say no idea how we got home that night!!

Cham we do fancy very much.............it'll be a hunt for cheap flights and base it on that.

Thank you all

I think that'll be a "njet" then.
