*SNOW SNOW SNOW FOR MY KIDDIES PLEASE*

I wonder if anyone could help me with what appears to be the immpossible!!

My husband & I would like to just jump on a plane with our 3 children, for just a couple of hours, get off and arrive at a winter wonderland!! Then check into our log cabin with a roaring fire and just go outside whenever we fancy for a snowball fight or to build a snowman!! (Anyone remember - the things we used to do as kids??)

We don't particularly want a ski resort, but the words rural, pituresque, villagy, log cabins, spring to mind!!

Obviously we are on a very tight budget with 3 little ones so I would assume the Austria's and Switzerland's are out but I am open to any offers or experiences anyone has to offer!!

As I say this is proving to be incredibly difficult after scouring the internet for HOURS!! But I can't give up - have promised the kids now!!!!

Thnks for any help anyone can give me!!

Kind regards

Think you mean Lapland but even day trips cost a fair bit and it is very cold for lo's. Most countries you'd have to travel the other end a bit to find that amount of real snow - Scandanavia might be your best bet. Otherwise Inntravel might be worth a look though if you aren't looking specifically for a ski resort or Igluski.com which is an online travel agency for various tour operators ( and who also do Lapland).

With a "very tight budget and 3 little ones" I would suggest Lapland/Scandinavia could be a bit expensive?

The Alps (but not a mainstream resort)would be a cheaper option if you are happy to book yourself.

Where do you live (i.e. near Stansted for cheap flights)?
When were you thinking of going?
