Winter sports thread 24/25

Yes - all the places I've been (Ruka, Finland - Lindvallen, Sweden) have excellent restaurants and it looks like Geilo has a good selection too. We always book a restaurant for Christmas day.

Can't really comment on bars as I don't drink but Scandic countries are notoriously expensive for alcohol (although a friend we were with stated it didn't seem much more expensive than then the Alps) but these countries have generally a quieter after ski scene - unless you go to Trysil, Norway in the college/uni Easter break! Trysil is next on our list - hopefully xmas 2026.

Had some quotes back from Ski Safari but after watching some videos on YouTube it just looks abit too quiet compared to the Alps.

Ended up booking a week in Ischgl at a decent looking hotel half board from 21st Dec. Hoping there is decent snow on the mountain.

Still need to book flights to Innsbruck, they are currently £250 return each. I'm guessing it's better to book those sooner rather than later as only a limited number of seats?

We've booked flights into Geneva for Feb half term, still deciding on where to go though.... Originally planned was St Gervais but thinking maybe La Plagne/Les Arcs now.
