Honeymoon skiing at Christmas

cowlove

Hi guys,

I want to plan a break over Christmas which will involve the following

Romantic log cabin/nice hotel spa

Apre ski if we feel like a night out

Beginners skiing

Good food

Nice town where there is other stuff to do. Christmas markets, etc

We are currently looking at Finland as the husky dog sledding and reindeer safari looks great and the chance to see the Northern lights.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

There are so many options I am getting confused. Self catering v's half board.

Or would Austrai be a better option?

Couple of options depending on budget etc Zell will be the ceapest option from the below.

In relation to Christmas markets etc not really that something allot of resorts do but there are other celebrations going on in the village. Great way to spend your honeymoon.

Banff/Lake Louise Canada

Apre ski if we feel like a night out -Tons of it in Bannff not traditional European apres but still very livley

Wow Fattes! Great reply! Thanks so much!

have you been to Finland? Would you not really recommend there so?

The places you have recommended sound great!

Fattes

Finland is fine the Apres will be quiter than anywhere else there but should tick the rest of your boxes

The rest where just suggestions I could not reccomend Bannf or Saas Fee strongly enough as places to go but at the end of the day like all things snow sports related its a personal choice.

Plenty to think about!
