 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
We were going to book flights from LGW to Innsbruck in December and I see we can fly back on the 24th. Would this conflict with the TOs booking of their Christmas weeks? Hotels reluctant to book 17th to the 24th? Usually I book flights then wait to see where the snow falls. But I always hope to go to Lech, as it's quiet there then. And all Christmassy....

We booked outward flights for Monday the 27th Dec and had a devil of a job getting a hotel as most hotels were doing Sat 18th to Sat 25 or occasionally Sunday to Sunday. We eventually found a hotel via hotels.com so I would advise you to start searching soon.

The big TOs seem to be doing Tuesday to Tuesday until New Year week then a short Tuesday to Saturday break to bring it back in line (which is what I'm planning for a nice short break). Destinations which are normally Sunday to Sunday aren't affected.

I would happily have travelled on new years day but no one seems to be offering a week's accommodation from that date. The self catering appts we looked at were either sunday 2nd to sunday 9th or sunday 2nd to saturday 8th. Sunday to sunday not so good for independent travel by train as trains are always unreliable and few and far between on sundays, no idea if rail transfer to resort buses would run on sundays and car hire places often seem to be closed on sunday. To top it all tour ops are charging more for that week than the usual cheap first week of jan price. Then for those of us with children how will ski school work with some people on long christmas/new year breaks and some on sunday to sunday. All in all we decided first week of Jan not such a good week after all next year. That new year week is probably more tempting if one is looking for a package deal or can self drive and fit round the different changeover days.
nicathy - you will probably find some sunday to saturday places that week - maybe you could try peak retreats or ski collection who have appartments in flaine area. I doubt you will find much starting from the saturday. Could you book into a travel inn near the resort that night or maybe change the flights? Or were you thinking of hotel accommodation in which case maybe you could try contacting a few hotels directly? Good luck.

Germans/Austrians will perhaps travel on Chrisrmas Day as thier main celebration is Christmas Eve.

You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

IIRC, Inghams are doing Monday to Monday for France destinations and Tuesday to Tuesday for the Austrian resorts over the Christmas/New Year period.
