Inspiration for Christmas

Looking for somewhere different to go this Christmas. Quite fancy a ski in/out catered chalet, but where?.... Needs to be snow sure too!

There will be 5 of us, so need two bedrooms minimum.

We've been to the Portes du Soleil about five times recently, so looking for somewhere different to try. Not too far away from an airport, I really don't fancy a 3-4 hour transfer.

Any suggestions?...

Tignes? It's high so pretty snow sure.

Tignes, Val T, Cervinia, Solden

I’ve done Tignes and Val d’Isere at Christmas and had a good time. Whilst Christmas is busy, New Year is ridiculous, it’s like the whole of France goes skiing, so it’s probably good that Christmas is a Wednesday this year, you can do a standard Saturday-Saturday or Sunday-Sunday week and not deal with new year!

It’s a fairly long transfer though.

Club Med Grand massif is really good for xmas and only an hour transfer.
not a chalet but really nice food and its ski in ski out.

St. Anton - 1 hour 15 min transfer from Innsbruck; or Obergurgl - 1 hour 30 mins from Innsbruck. Both high, so pretty snow sure, but Austria seems to be mainly hotels and not chalets.

Chamonix is only 1 hour 15 mins from Geneva. There will be chalets there I'm sure, but although there's some high skiing (lifts going up to 3800m and 3300m) the village itself is low (1035m). Skiing is geared more towards expert skiers.

I'm not sure what the snow is like at Christmas here, but we found it a nice change from the Grand Massif with nice quiet slopes and great having it all organised for you www.skiweekender.com/dates-prices/christmas-ski-holidays-2019
