 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi All,
I am very tired after sifting through loads of posts returned by search facility - so I have decided to post a fresh question....
Can someone please give an rough estimate of the cost per person (flights and accomodation) for a package holiday to Wengen at Xmas - for both catered and self catered. Budgetwise I would be looking at the cheaper end of the market.
Thanks in advance,
Chris

blondends, hi there, the cheapest hotel accomodation will be the 2* Bernerhof hotel but I've no idea how much it would cost at Christmas

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

It was about £700pp for a week in the Bernerhof this Xmas, rising to about £950+ for the nicer hotels (package prices including flights & transfers). A 6-day ski pass costs about £130 at the moment.
UK tour operators have very little self-catering accommodation in Wengen - most people (self included) who want self-catering do the whole thing independently, which is dead easy these days.

Cool - so organising the whole thing independently, what would you best guess be for the cost pp when going self catering and flying over?
Thanks for your input so far !!

well, the flying cost is a "piece of string". If you book early with a cheap airline and avoid the most popular flights, maybe £50 return. If you leave it late, or go for the most popular times, maybe £200! Wengen is a rather low resort, don't forget; snow not always reliable as early as Christmas so you might not want to commit yourself too far in advance.

You'll need to Register first of course.

Ah good point - well thanks guys for your advice ! I think that I will definitely look in to the independent booking thing a little more.
Cheers,
Chris

blondends, if you are really bvudget concious, then it may be worth looking at Lauterbrunnen. The hotels there will be cheaper than Wengen...but obviously you are then staying in the valley not the resort.
