Private transfer is EUR150 each way
Yeah I half guessed those were the ones you took
But my cherubs are very particular about their hotels, so if there's not a good spa and pool, and lots of black runs then it's not happening. So I could probably package something similarly priced in one of the smaller resorts like Rauris, but they'd be bored after a couple of days.
There's also a laziness/convenience factor of having someone else sort out the ski hire and passes for you, as well as 'free' bits like guided ski days (Neilson is pretty good at that as it just gives the reps a pretext for being on the slopes all day)
Obviously though I'm curious where you ended up!
