 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hello all,
Just after the advice of all you wise sages out there...
We're contemplating going to Meribel for christmas week having found some reasonable offers but just a little worried it might be just too chaotic to be fun. Anyone got any experience of the same?
Cheers

It'll be rammed. I went there in '99 and the runs home were in chaos after 3pm. I can't imagine that it would have improved.

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

Tiffers, welcome to Snowheads. I've never been to Meribel at Christmas (early January, rubbish snow, but it was a bad year, can't remember when....) but perhaps a resort which is less Brit-dominated (i.e almost anywhere else in the world) could be a better bet, as the French tend to go much more at New Year than Christmas. Maybe somewhere a bit higher, too. There are a number of good offers around for Christmas and I'm sure you'll get some good advice on here, especially if you spell out your criteria/priorities.

Tiffers,
Meribel is not particularly busy at Christmas which is why you will find reasonable offers for the week, unlike the following New Year week. IMHO many Brits tend to stay at home not wanting to be away from their families. If you do manage to book something you will obviously have a better chance of enjoying a white Christmas rather than the dull, overcast, possibly rainy day to be had in the UK. Also remember, if you take the catered option someone else cooks the turkey

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

We were there last year - not too busy at all. It's far worse in February. !
