Picturesque Resort for Christmas 2012

Hi,

I'm trying to find the ultimate ski resort in which to spend my birthday, which is 3 days after Christmas. I adore Christmas so I'd prefer a resort that goes all out to celebrate the holiday. I am from Oz so I'm not fussy as to Europe, Canada or America. After all, they're all hours away from here. I'd like to stay in the village in order to soak up the atmosphere but be close by the slopes and be able to ski each day without having to drive anywhere. A short shuttle bus ride from one part of town to another would be okay though.

Hopefully someone out there can recommend some places to look at. I've looked into Chamonix but it doesn't seem to have much in the way of beginner runs (only one in the Brevent area) and hubby is not that confident on skis.

Thank you in advance.

Cheers,

Carlyle :D

Saas Fee could be the place for you... http://www.j2ski.com/ski_resorts/Switzerland/Saas_Fee.html

Hi Carlyle

I think you are then looking for the following a place with the following

atmosphere
close to the slopes
stay in a village
no t/fers to the ski area


i would then suggest Mürren 1650-3000m,Switzerland - http://www.muerren.ch
