Mayrhofen by train in March - Eurostar to Paris Nord, walk next door to Paris Est for the Night train to Rosenheim, then local trains to Mayrhofen for a 9am arrival and 2 extra days skiing. First time on the Nightjet - hoping it goes as easy as it looks

You don't really get any extra days going by train as it's not a time machine. You just set off 2 days earlier or leave 2 days later.

Semi booked, unfortunately had to join the half term madness but some snow is better than no snow . Heading out to Val d'Isère, accommodation and lessons and hire booked but still need to sort out the journey. We are driving and we're fairly set on the Eurotunnel so just trying to work out the best timing to go for and also whether to go for FlexiPlus for the journey home just to make it a bit simpler.

Think I’m in for a disasterous start to our trip… we only have a 50 min transfer time in Schipol (27th dec) but even KLMs own website now is recommending 4 hours minimum, has me feeling a bit uneasy considering how travel has went this year. Called them and there’s nothing they can do this month but to call back next, they’re saying it should still be ok and if not we’ll be put on the next flight  I assume we’ll be lucky if there’s space for 3 of us?! |
Hi Damanpunk, my daughter had to transfer through Schipol with KLM right when it was totally FUBAR over summer this year. She only had 50 mins and it was fine for her. I assumed she would have to queue and pass through some sort of customs check, but she didn't have to do this all at and was able to transfer straight to her next gate with loads of time to spare. I hope it works out for you, but perhaps don't panic until you need to . . . .

Everything works fine with the reservation, i got a confirmation etc etc
BUT the appartment is still availabe in travelski and flaine.com

Finally got around to booking for me and my son for Les Gets at the end of Jan. It's no coincidence that today is the last day to get an early bird discount on the lift pass, so I've booked that and the accomodation. Can't decide how to travel yet, but I'll do that this week.
I CANNOT wait to get back there. Haven't been since Feb 2020.
Will be odd going without my wife and daughters, but they've got their a levels a few months later so don't want to miss any school.

Exactly the same with me. Last time in the Alps - Arc 1600 Feb 2020.

@Old Fartbag, I did go to Montgenevre twice this year, but IMO, it's not a patch on Les Gets.

4 days in Morzine first week in Feb, then going to St Anton for the first time in Easter.
Morzine trip is not too unreasonable, flights 120 odd, transfers eye watering but between 8 of us manageable, Hotels gone up quite a bit, £650 each for 4 nights B&B for twin room, so £325 per room per night.
We have often used VIP ski in Easter to go to France but their prices have gone up so much it is unaffordable. It used to be around 1100-1200 per person minus the 15% scgb discount, so just under 4 grand for a catered luxury chalet including flights and transfers. Last year it had gone up to 1329 each not including flights and no longer a scgb discount, apparently the lack of flights is a benefit as it gives me more flexibility although in reality it just costs me 1000 more. So last years trip was 6300, 2.3K more than previously (37% increase).
Next year it has gone up to 1529 each not including flight, so will be 7100, nearly double what we used to pay pre pandemic. Add your lift pass, ski hire and spending money and its a 10 grand week now.
We eventually booked with Cystal and going to St Anton, half board in Hotel Arlberg, flight and transfers for 5700. Felt like a decent deal.

SWMBO said I could book a 4 night trip for us (we have a toddler)..... then pulled the rug and put me back to 3 nights.
We compromised, 3 nights in Tignes booked for us, 3 nights somewhere else for me solo (probably Spain in March).

@pam w, She does get away xmas shopping and other trips on her own, but probably wouldn't snowboard on her own. Of course I would support it if she wanted to (although I would probably want to tag along  )
