Actually, Glyn, you're better off asking here I think! That list is ridiculous... what sort of a skier is going to be flipping a coin to choose between St Anton (#2) and Borovets (#3)? :roll:

...back to the OP... for a birthday bash you'll want somewhere pleasant and with good skiing for your level. If you're looking at early March then how about the Dolomites? Doing the Sella Ronda would make a great birthday out on the slopes and prices are reasonable. Also, maybe La Clusaz (search past threads - but nice village, good skiing and 45 minute transfer from Geneva - with the added attraction of maybe bumping into Wickers!).

Well,
I think the whole article was garbage - maybe the real guy was ill with a stomach ache or something and the mail boy wrote it and he'd never been ski-ing.

I've been to Borovets and it definitely shouldn't be third - it's not even that cheap any more.

And I rang Crystal and the cheapest holiday all season to Courchevel was on the 2nd Jan and it was £1058 for 2 people self-catered. The cheapest hotel was £1670 for 2 people. And the cheapest Feb half term was £1560 per adult. So I don't know where they got their figure of around £500 per person for a catered chalet.

Why don't we all e-mail the Independent and ask them about it?

Ian,
I'm pretty sure they've just lost their minds.

I had a look at their best places in the world to get married in, and HMS Belfast was 8th. I've been on HMS Belfast several times, and I can't imagine why anyone would ever want to get married on her. And for those that don't know, she's a whacking great old battleship moored on the Thames in the middle of London. There must be some far more romantic places in the entire world.
