Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi. I am looking for advice for a hotel/resort for a long weekend in December. The group would consist of two adult and two 4 year old girls, it's there first ski holiday but all four are planning ski lesons in a fridge. Direct flights from Manchester/Birmingham area would be a bonus with short transfers to resort. Size of area very low priority but good nusers areas. A luxury hotel with a pool and good food is a must. Ski in out/next to the lift is also a must. The altapura in val thorens ticks a lot of boxes unfortunately I thinks it's a bit long transfers for 3-4 nights. Any other recommendations welcome.

Also looking at Tignes for after Christmas, Sat 30 Dec to Sat 6 Jan. Seems that most of the chalet/apartment companies (including the link above), are not displaying availability or prices for 2017/18 season yet? Or anything wrong with the dates I am looking at?

Many places won't have their prices up yet for next year.
Is Val Thorens a much longer transfer?
When does Cervinia open?
What dates?

This is easy.
Sport Hotel in Neustift, ski on Stubai Glacier (if there's a blizzard and you can't see on the glacier, ski at Schlick2000 instead).
Edit: Ah, sorry not ski in ski out. But the hotel will give you a private shuttle to/from the lifts in their minibus, so technically you do only have about steps to make between hotel door and ski lift
