 Poster: A snowHead
|
Anyone any ideas as to how to deal with Christmas day on a Saturday? We (family of 4) normally ski Xmas week but there will be no flights on Saturday 25th this year.
Looking for Avoriaz/Morzine or anywhere in easy rwach of Manchester/Liverpool. would consider decent snow area in Austria as we have never been.

keshvane, I guess the only option is to fly day before and find a B&B close by.
But no doubt someone who knows what they are talking about will be along soon

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

keshvane, we've got a Sunday changeover which means Christmas week starts on 19th December and New Year week on 26th.

keshvane, I've noticed several TOs and chalet owners running staggered or extended weeks at the beginning of the season (followed by a short week at the beginning of January). Check with the tourist office for where you want to go and find out what the schedule will be before you worry about what days to fly.

keshvane, We're being flexible with Christmas and New Year this year, for just that reason. 10% off for SHs. I'll PM you.

Lots of firms have switched to Sunday change overs (or Mondays even) and I'm guessing independent hotels and sel-catering will largely move to Sundays (probably with a 6 day catch up week early in Jan). A few are doing weird and wonderful 5 or 9 night durations just to really confuse and keep people on their toes ... I swear it seemed like a good idea at the time

keshvane, If you look at the accommodation websites - or TO brochures - whatever you usually use, that should indicate the way different places are coping with Christmas Day falling on a Saturday. for example, on one of our big local agency's websites, the changeover dates are 18th and 26th December and 2,9 and 15 January - so the Christmas "week" is a day longer, with a shorter "week" in mid January to get back to Sat/Sat.

I noticed a lot of the self catering appartments on Peak Retreats website are available for 8 night stays for christmas week. (saturday 18th to sunday 26th I think). They list a few hotels in Les Gets too. You'd need to book your own flights.
