places to stay in switzerland... need help?
Hi everyone,
I am in a bind here. I am going to amsterdam for New Years and I wanted to go snowboarding for the weekend(fri,sat,sun and leave Monday) in Switzerland. There are definately 4 of us and possibly a few girls coming to visit that work in Zurich. I have tried to book a chalet but they only book by the week and many of them start on the 3rd which is too late. I am looking for some helpful suggestions and here is the criteria that I need to satisfy: Snowboarding: only two of us are decent boarders so the other two will need bunny slopes, possibly lessons and we all will need to rent boards and boots. Lodging: Has to fit at least four, Ideally 6 and I was hoping to find something for 3 nights for no more than $800 american. Also I would like to find someplace that is close to the lift and the nightlife. That way I can take a run down the mountain and come back in and drink a few beers,( this is my ideal) I would also like something that is stumbling distance from the bars. Atmosphe We are pretty heavy drinkers so I am hoping to find something that has a vibrant nightlife and is less family oriented. I have heard that Austria and France are more suited for this but I am not giving up on switzerland just yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Bill Butler |

If you decide against Swizerland, then consider Andorra.
Maybe not so suited to you and the other decent boarder, but it's very cheap to stay and to live. Lessons are second to none for an English speaker and also very cheap and as far as night life, it's the Ibiza of the skiing word. -- David ) http://kitemap.co.uk/stack |

Check this place out...top notch http://www.riderspalace.ch Luck -- "A man walks into a cake shop and says 'Is that a macaroon or a meringue?' The assistant replies 'No, you're right. It's a macaroon.'" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Chick Murray...'nuff said.) |
