Waltons plan ski trip!

The 'family' are planning ski trip over new year 09/10. Approx departure 27/12. There will be approx 20+ adults and 15+ children. We therefore require accomodation for 35-40 people. Anyone know of a good small hotel we could take over for 7-10 days over next new year. The resort/area/country doesnt matter greatly but we would prefer central Europe and an area that will provide for a wide range of ability.
Thanks John 'boy' Walton!

Hi John,

I take it from your "hotel" request that a catered option is what you need...who wants to cook for 30 odd?!

I cannot recomend enough the Snowchateaux in Peisy Nancroix as a catered chalet option. I organised a trip last season for 19 adults but the full chalet can accomodate 36 as far as I can remember. Very friendly staff, excellent food and a great atmosphere in a traditional style chalet.

Peisy is a lovely small village that feels a lot more French than many other areas of Les Arcs but has immediate access (via the lobster pot lifts!) to the Les Arcs side of the Vanoise Express link to La Plagne, which is also the site of a fast 6(?) chair linking you to the rest of Les Arcs.

Have a look at their website http://www.snowchateaux.co.uk/ and feel free to Pm me if you have any questions.

We would be going back this year if the week we needed wasn't booked up in August!! Oh well, it's Meribel for us.....in 29 days!!!

Thanks Paul
Just looked at web site - would have to combine chalets which is not ideal!
anyone else out there that could help?

Hi gynoski

I have been involved in organising trips for groups up to 40 for the past few years. We usually use a tour operator (generally Crystal) and find that most convenient for the larger groups and they are hard to beat on price when you factor in group discounts (though these are notably less generous around the peak weeks including Christmas/New Year). Crystal operate a number of what they call Clubhotels - essentially hotels that they take over and run themselves. They are usually good for large groups including families and can include on-site creches and childminding facilities.

Good luck wit your hunt :lol:

Hi John,

Don't be put off by the seperate chalets it's all just one big place that can be seperated into different sections if you need.

I think we used 2 bit's of the chalet which just meant that sometimes you needed to go outside to get to someone elses room. There are a couple of individual lounges too so you can get away from each other if you want too!

Cheers
