Yes, Ellmau in early January (hotel right by main gondola that was the funicular). Haven’t been for 35 years. Got bored of Obergurgl this year (spent half the days in Solden) so cancelled hotel I had booked for next year
And Selva in early March with OH (who walks- doesn’t ski). First time to Sella Ronda

Booked to return to St Johann in Tirol for the third time in February, this time with my sister, brother in law and nephew in tow. Hoping my son grows to fit into the lovely gear I bought from Valais - if he doesn’t then we’re sorted for 2024 anyway (and my nephew is in the last lot we bought!)

Just booked a weeks accommodation in St Anton for Jan, couldn't find a massive range of options, is it too early for listings to show or are they genuinely all booked up this far in advance?

@Mother hucker, It's a one off year unfortunately-I'm sure they will keep coming with us whilst we're still paying! They're 15 and 17.
But I suspect we'll miss them once they stop joining us.

@Jonny996, Lyon Airport, week of 25th March, through Auto-Europe, for a Corsa-type car. Geneva was £400 minimum which was one of the reasons we decided to fly to Lyon instead.

@NickYoung, Is the draw of St Foy off piste? I like the look of it but it's very limited for pisted runs kids are not experienced enough for off piste.

Chalet Evergreen in Meribel for 25 March. It's later in the season than we'd like, but it's a great chalet and the husband is going to slit his wrists if we don't go somewhere next season! Still hoping that Eurostar will reinstate the Saturday direct ski-train, and re-open Ashford, but Plan B is Eurostar to Paris on the Friday and SNCF to Moutiers on the Saturday.

just booked eurotunnel for our christmas trip to les menuires, last piece of the jigsaw to arrange.
seems like the prices have increased quite a lot from last time i used them (feb 2020).
am not sure how long the fares have been released, and if i missed any cheaper fares, as i had requested an email alert, but had not seen anything.
standard fare was £274 return, though reasonable timings, but even if going in the middle of the night both ways it would only be about £30 cheaper.
am sure i only paid around £180 for previous trip, with similar times!!!
was unable to compare with ferries at this stage, as the fares do not seem to have been released yet, not that i would be able to book them anyway as my girls are not great on ferries, and would never hear the end of it, probably worth a few extra "shekels" for a quiet life

Too many unknowns for us including whether any of hubby's work colleagues want the Christmas period off. One has a hubby who is an orthopaedic registrar, so he may just be working, but won't know yet, and the other has two small children so would probably like it off.
I should poke hubby into asking....... They were meant to be employing a new pharmacist but that hasn't happened.

I'm piecing together trips to France and Italy in January and March, but keeping to previous years' budgets is proving impossible. Car hire is the biggest problem.

@denfinella, Hi, just posted this somewhere else on this forum, but if you by any chance have Flying Blue (KLM) I just got a hire car through them (with Hertz) at a considerably lower price.

or in fact do you need to be coming off a KLM flight?

I am just the lowest tier member and no, you don't need to be coming off a KLM flight. We are flying Easyet into MXP and I hired the car through Flying Blue. There are other car hire partners too, but Hertz seems to offer the biggest discount
