 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all, we are a large group of skiers (18 for 2023). A lot of the gang are very keen to ski in Wengen, unfortunately the Ski Miquel chalet nearby can only take 12 people from Gatwick, which makes it a no go (we are in Norfolk and travel to the airport together on a coach).
I believe this would be the only chalet board hotel in the area, where you get wine included, cakes and tea after ski time etc. So, if we were to find a half board chalet in Wengen itself, what sort of prices would we expect to pay for wine with dinner, pink of beet or tap water etc? Also tea/coffee or Gluwhein on the mountain. Anyone got any recent experience? The thought of having to buy drinks on top of prices has always scared me with Switzerland!
Luckily I have officially retired as the holiday planner this year, but just wanted this info for my own benefit really. We are looking at lots of resort options as well as this.
Many Thanks

I really like the Arenas Resort Victoria when we were in Wengen. Breakfast was superb, pool & spa were lovely. Rooms comfortable and simple. Great views! 2minutes from the train and a few minutes to the big cable car.

Thanks both, the menu is very helpful, and the Victoria looks so pretty! I'll pass all the info to the lucky new organiser.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I dont know wherther they still do any half board deals but I used to love, and go go regularly once or twice a season, the Silberhorn at Lauterbrunnen - more daily travel but better placed for Muerren.
I was hoping to go back this year, after a long gap waiting for some decent lifts on the Grindelwald side to Mannlichenn and Eigergletscher which have finally arrived, but the change in entry requirements to Switzerland was too late.

@micheleperry, just a thought...Ski Miquel can only do 12 from Gatwick into chalet Rosa.Is it possible to arrange independent flights for the rest of the group, timed similarly to the SM flight.
Chalet Rosa capacity around 28 or 30. If the chalet isn't big enough the "overflow" could go to the Silberhorn, the Premier hotel in Lauterbrunnen.
Sorry if the second reference to Silberhorn is confusing, yes there's one in Wengen (Mike's drinks card) there is one down here in Lauterbrunnen. Ps it's pole position for the station and the cable car for the Mürren side. Throw it into the mix......

@Rogerdodger - we asked about this for the year we couldn't go (2021), and Miquel have to book and pay for the Manchester and Gatwick flights each week, so we would have to add the 6 extra flights on top of the total holiday price, were also worries about the risk of those flights being changed/cancelled and not the extra ones. It's all fun and games!

Thanks Roger Dodger. I put Lauterbrunnen but should have emphasised not Wengen. Albeit the Wengen one gets great reviews but is probably dearer
