European school hols next week?
Morning all,
I'm toying with an end of week 3 day ski trip to Chamonix next week, arriving Wed night the 9th, leaving Sat night the 12th. I know it's half term for the schools here in Leeds, but wondered if any other European countries were on holiday, and thus how busy Chamonix would be? regards, greg |

other European countries were on holiday, and thus how busy Chamonix would be? Netherlands (southern part) will start next week as well, nothern part will be the week after. On saturday the 6th you can expect huge traffic jams in the southern part of Germany, around Munich and some parts in Austria. Donnow about France.... Marinus |

Pretty sure part of France will be as well - think they do a rotational type
thing so you will get one part on hoilday. In summary it will be very busy I suspect with the recent good conditions you will get much more last minute visitors as well "Greg Hilton" wrote in message ...

Yep, week up to 12th is 2nd week of french zone A I think. I was in Chamonix
from 5th to 12th last year and it was moderately busy but not frantic. This year, I'll be there 12th to 20th and it WILL be frantic! "Rob" wrote in message ...

BTW, forgot to say, I just checked 10 day weather forecast, and it shows
snow more on than off right through to 10th Feb. It would be kind of nice if it stopped then as I'm driving down o/night on the 11th/12th! "Rob" wrote in message ...

Here as a beautiful coloured calendar showing how it is impossible to avoid
all school holidays anytime you might actually want to ski. http://www.ski-lesarcs.com/fr/infos/...calendrier.php It seems simplest just to avoid the UK holdiays as they are the ones that affect pricing. |

We found some when we went to Val T the week the big dump began, no decent
snow for 3 week and we still found a few untracked bits You should definatly be able to find some at the moment "Greg Hilton" wrote in message ...
