ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
  • During late October and early November the dollar has pitched downward against the Euro and Swiss franc. After averaging the past two months, we've used these rates for packages: CHF 1.19/$ and $1.42/Euro. As always, use them as ballparks and when you call, prices will be quoted at current rates.
     
  • Paris is an optional gateway for French and Swiss resorts. If you want to visit the sparkling city on the Seine, call for information.
     
  • Many hotels have low season packages offering ski pass and/or ski school combos at special prices.
     
  • Hotel prices are based on a hotel’s standard room rate unless they offer a range of room rates then it’s the lowest listed price.
     
  • Rates for singles, three-in-a-room, children-with-parents, two week stays, extended extensions, trip insurance, and other variations are available. If going alone you’ll feel comfortable in all, but more so in the informal three stars.
     
  • A word to the wise: wearing jeans, jogging outfits and running shoes are not welcome in European hotel dining rooms. Four star hotels generally require men to wear a jacket or sweater and slacks at dinner while five stars require a jacket and tie.
     
  • Other wonderful little inns are available in: Arosa, Flims, Igls, Innsbruck, Les Portes de Soleil, Salzburg, Stuben, Val Thorens, and the other Jungfrau resorts.
     
  • In recent years I’ve discovered a lovely selection of luxe, and not so luxe, catered and self-catered, apartments and châlets. They range in size for families, small groups of friends and reunions. Some have hot tubs (unlike the West, these are quite rare in Europe) and private pools, four in staff, chauffeured 4x4s and gourmet cuisine. A sampling: Zermatt’s only original Swiss châlet accommodates eight to ten; Verbier has a romantic châlet just for two; and in Val d’Isère ten can ski-in or out of a staffed châlet with sauna and steam bath.
     
  • Kitzbühel prices include air on Lufthansa and an eighth night at the four star Hotel Exquisit in very central Munich, an easy walk to the pedestrian area and many notable sights.
     
  • For people flying Swiss and skiing in Switzerland, for $15/bag, you can check luggage from the States through to your resort.
  • To ease final planning, documents will be FedEx-ed to clients a week prior to departure.
