 Poster: A snowHead
|
We've decided to spend Xmas in Chamonix again.
I've been there a couple of times in the past at Xmas and the only problem I've found is that it's not very Xmas like. I know they have the lights but they're there all season.
Any suggestions for finding a bit of Xmas spirit in Cham. (Please don't mention the church.)

We've found there isn't much xmas in any of the resorts we've visited over the last 4 years, this year I think we'll be doing New Year instead.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

We had St. Nick and his donkeys in the hotel in Switzerland last year, carol singing (in Swiss German) round the tree etc. etc. All very festive.

The Cabane and Cap Horn restaurants have animated polar bear robots and that sort of thing but as you mentioned above they are there year round.
There is usually carol singing in one of the Churhces (sorry I know you said not to mention it).

Cymru am Byth, define "Xmas like" please.
I find the alps very Xmassy mostly. Snowy, cold, mountainy, etc.
S0d the Xmas as defined by Coca Cola if that's what you're after.

We've Christmased (that's not really a word is it?) in Le Grand Bornand (about an hour's drive from Chamonix) for the last five years - the most Christmassy (again not sure if that's a word) bit is the torch lit ski down the mountain to meet Pere Noel on Christmas Eve which you can join - good fun. After that we do presents and stuff. Next morning it's pretty much back to normal ski holiday. Suits me - I'm not one for dragging Christmas out anyway.
