resorts in Austria. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Overview</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Lech</strong></p>
<p>Lech and its higher neighbor Zurs are the most glamorous and expensive resorts in Austria. Their shared slopes could fairly easily be linked with those of St.Anton &#8211; but then their rich and royal visitors would be forced to mingle with hoi polloi from their equally famous but less exclusive neighbor. Lech is for those who don&#8217;t mind fur coats, do like well groomed, snow sure, cruising slopes, and are content to enjoy a winter holiday in pampered comfort and style in a traditional Alpine village. There are challenging slopes available (mainly off-slope) and the tougher slopes of St.Anton are only a short bus- or car-ride away. But it is the part-timer, who enjoys the aprŠs and the strolling as much as the winter sports who will get the most out of the resort. It helps to have a deep pocket.</p>
<p><strong>Hotels</strong></p>
<p><strong>Apart-Hotel Filomena</strong></p>
<p>These prestigious apartments are ideally situated in the centre of Lech, close to lifts and ski school meeting point. There is a games room for children, indoor swimming pool, sauna and steam room included for clients. Sun beds and massages are available for residents at a supplement payable in resort. For even greater convenience, there is a supermarket located right underneath the residence.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-28130" title="apart - hotel filomena" src="http://www.yourholidays.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/apart-hotel-filomena.jpg" alt="apart - hotel filomena" width="250" height="200" /><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-28131" title="apart - hotel filomena 1" src="http://www.yourholidays.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/apart-hotel-filomena-1.jpg" alt="apart - hotel filomena 1" width="250" height="200" /></p>
<p><strong>Berghof</strong></p>
<p>Center of resort, 100 yards to lift. Bar, lounge with fireplace, sauna, sun terrace, hair dryer in bathroom, welcome drink, safe, non-smoking rooms, laundry.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-28132" title="berghof" src="http://www.yourholidays.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/berghof.gif" alt="berghof" width="250" height="200" /><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-28133" title="berghof lech" src="http://www.yourholidays.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/berghof-lech.gif" alt="berghof lech" width="250" height="200" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Overview</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Zurs</strong></p>
<p>Gateway: Zurich Founded in the 14th century, Lech, surrounded by 9,000 foot mountains, retains its medieval charm while its slopes bask in international fame. This idyllic setting offers downhill runs from both sides of the valley right to the center of town. Tree-free steep descents and wide open bowls provide great skiing for all levels. Your lift ticket links you with nearby Zurs, Zug, St. Anton, St. Christoph, and Stuben. Lech &amp; Zrs have it all: world famous ski schools, guided ski tours, heli-skiing, snow-boarding, paragliding, child care at ski kindergarten, winter hiking, cross country skiing in untouched nature, ice skating and Austrian style curling, toboggan run, horse drawn sleigh rides, outdoor cafes , late afternoon tea dances, and entertainment that runs until almost dawn complete the picture. Who could ask for more?</p>
<p><strong>Hotels</strong></p>
<p><strong>Arlberghaus</strong></p>
<p>In the year 1931 the Arlberghaus was built in the center of Zuers. A respected architect from Liechtenstein designed the house as one of the first flat roof houses at this time. The Arlberghaus is today a very charming and cosy ****-hotel in the middle of Zuers, next to the meeting point from the ski-school and the ski-kindergarten. The most important advantage is: It is only two minutes away from the ski-lifts and on the way back you can ski directly to our ski-cellar door.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Overview</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-28115" title="megeve" src="http://www.yourholidays.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/megeve.jpg" alt="megeve" width="250" height="200" /><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-28117" title="megeve france" src="http://www.yourholidays.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/megeve-france.jpg" alt="megeve france" width="250" height="200" /><br />
</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Megeve</strong></p>
<p>When people talk of posh French resorts, Courchevel 1850 usually sits at the top of the list. But before Courchevel was MegŠve, the original glamour resort, frequented by royalty and stars alike. Now it&#8217;s on the comeback trail. Very much a traditional French resort, MegŠve is an old town that oozes charisma and traditional Alpine charm. It boasts gastronomic delights, as well as some of the most varied nightlife of any Alpine venue: clubs, concerts, ice shows and a casino. MegŠve is exclusive and certainly pricey, with a fantastic range of top-class hotels. It ain&#8217;t the place to visit if &#8216;budget&#8217; features high on your criteria. What about the skiing, you ask? As part of the fragmented &#8216;Evasion Mont Blanc&#8217; ski area, there is all the skiing you could ever need, with coverage by road including Chamonix and ArgentiŠre. On site, the skiing is excellent for the majority, but advanced skiers will have to search for the best stuff. There is good skiing at Mont d&#8217;Arbois and Rochebrune in particular, with lovely skiing below the tree-line. Boarders will enjoy a park all to themselves. Restaurants on piste are good but expensive, while the ski school and childcare facilities are first-class.</p>
<p><strong>Hotels</strong></p>
<p><strong>Hotel Le Manege</strong></p>
<p>An exceptional situation in the center of MegŠve less than 100 meters of the departure of the ski lifts and heart of the village. The decoration is old natural and clear wooden, where luxury and tradition marry, creates an environment of mountain country cottage in order to offer you a specific and unforgettable stay. Reception, bar and restaurant of charm, fireplace and relaxation space will be able to fulfill your desires. 33 rooms including 19 suites (mainly on two levels), recreate in a mountain style refined the warm and cozy universe of small mountain country cottages. A distinct decoration for each room, where premium old clear and patinated wood, involves you in a typical expatriation of magic of the Savoyard tradition.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Overview</strong></span></p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-28119" title="chamonix overview" src="http://www.yourholidays.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/chamonix-overview.jpg" alt="chamonix overview" width="250" height="200" /><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-28121" title="chamonix" src="http://www.yourholidays.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/chamonix.jpg" alt="chamonix" width="250" height="200" /></p>
<p><strong>Chamonix</strong></p>
<p>The oldest ski resort in France is really a quaint village of 10,000 people where the tradition of fine skiing combines with the diversities a town this size can provide. Five main ski areas through the valley offer 50 lifts and varied terrain for skiers of all abilities. Le Brevent cable car begins just above the town and climbs to over 8,000 feet. Les Houches, Le Tour and sunny La Flegere is where beginners and intermediates will find many trails to ski. Les Grands Montets is the most popular area for the intermediate and the more advanced skiers. Strong intermediate and above skiers will want to accept the challenge of the Aiguille du Midi, reached by a two-stage cable car. This 7,000 foot descent on and along the glacier of Vallee Blanche includes spectacular mountain scenery dominated by Mont Blanc, Europe&#8217;s highest mountain. For non-skiing hours, shops brim with crafts, fine clothing and perfumes. Horseback riding, swimming, tennis and ice skating are available. The casino and a variety of night spots will fill your evenings. Your Mt. Blanc ski pass also includes Courmayeur, Italy, Megeve and Les Contamines, France.</p>
<p><strong>Hotels</strong></p>
<p><strong>Hotel Les Balcons Du Savoy</strong></p>
