 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi
I'm trying to organise a ski hen weekend for a friend and struggling - there are 18 of us, and we would prefer either Sauze d'Oulx, Kitzbuhel, or perhaps Val D'Isere , 29th Jan 09 to 1st Feb (3 nights), or 2 nights Fri - Sun if that's not possible. We would like either room-only in a hotel or a non-catered chalet ideally. We will sort out our own flights (as we're coming from London, Scotland and the Midlands) but it's proving difficult to find an accomodation/transfer deal that everyone will be able to afford! I'm getting quite flexible now just to try and get something booked! Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated. Any ideas on packages that may be available?
Thanks!
The dates are fixed..

holmes, Thurs/Fri to Sun for 18 people - dificult.
You may want to think about staying in Salzburg or Innsbruck as a city break (easier to get hotels) and ski the closest resorts on each day (10 - 45 mins transfer depending what you want), lashing it up apres style after skiing in the resort and then heading back to the city for some clubbing

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

holmes, I would agree with rayscoops, fly to Salzburg or Innsbruck ( I would recommend Innsbruck) and ski the local areas. You will struggle to get a booking in a resort for 18 people over a long weekend. However, going to Innsbruck for example will be good for nightlife as well. You also don't need to worry about transfers using this approach, as you will only need to travel 10 minutes from the airport. Transfers to resorts each day are by bus or tram.

holmes, Why don't you come here - I'm sure you could get into the Lutins for that period, and it would fit the bill. (I know .....)

holmes, you're approaching peak season so will find weekend lets difficult, if you could go one or two weeks earlier then you wouold stand a better chance, maybe have a look on chaletsdirect.com solutions room, some of the owners now offer weekened only in off season

Switzerland has by far the best offline and online infrastructure for coping with short-term and large-group stays.
Go to Verbier or Zermatt by train from Geneva.
Stay in rented private apartments or hotels. You will probably need several.
Enjoy.

holmes, one problem you will have is that those companies who offer "weekend" skiing typically charge handsomely for doing so.
However, all is not lost. You aren't breaking into UK half term nor French vacances scolaires (otherwise it would probably be a hopeless exercise).
Try some smaller 3* hotels directly. Or think slightly "out of" resort. For example, http://www.orangeriemontblanc.fr/ is only about 30 minutes from Chamonix centre and has a really, really good restaurant.
