Yeah, the Wynegg is a gourmando restaurant with some rooms above. I got one with bath down the hall, they do have ensuite.Quote:

It's central, 1/2 km to the Klosters Platz train station.

I would not overlook St. Moritz/Corviglia, the skiing in that area is amazing and it's a nice place for the ladies. vendul had offered to drive us over there one day if conditions warrant.
I’ll be rolling in the night of the 17th. I figure the best way to take care of jet lag will be to be skiing bright and early the next morning.Quote:

The downside with Air France is that you are at the mercy of worker strikes. Usually only in the summer but you never know. I got screwed with an 8 hour layover delay in Paris. Never again.Quote:

easy to say when it doesn't affect you. you should talk to the guys in my office. 5-6 hours to get home to lyon when it should take 2 hours. hooray for strikes!Quote:

Yep, not great. Just worth mentioning that they do seem to stick to schedules. Buddy went to Paris for a second honeymoon and landed amidst a week long garbage workers strike.Quote:

Looks like they haven’t run the groomers yet.
