Anyone have any ideas? Due to last minute hitches we are only planning our vacation now - we would love to go to the Swiss or French Alps, not necessarily a tourist resort, but we really need to be near other Yidden for a Minyan.
Kosher food is not a must because we can bring with.
We've looked online for Chalets etc but most are unavailable and those that are are in unfamiliar places.
Does anyone know names of small villages where other yidden are going?
Or any holiday chalets that may be available for this week?
We are 2 couples and 5 teenagers, with cars.
Really desperate!
Thanks,

The following places in Switzerland have minyanim:
Adelboden
Celerina
Davos
Fiesch
Grächen
La Punt (I think)
Leukerbad
Saas Fee
Saas Grund

In Bivio they are looking for minyan members and they say there are still flats available. You can call +41 79 678 9610 for information.

You can look on myswitzerland.com to see if anything is available in the other places I listed.

If you want contact numbers for the other minyanim, pm me.

Once you identify the shtetle village with a minyan, you can contact the local tourism office for a list of chalet/apartment for hire (or ask for real estate agents who specialise in such). There are of course kosher hotel options. Alternatively, base yourselves in Zurich or Geneve and plan day-trips from the base (though this would be less scenic than being in the mountains.)

Would Lugano or Luzern also have miniyanim throughout the year?

Klosters should have a minyan, that's true. There are a lot of British people who own flats there.

Bekoshi. I know that Luzern holds its breath every day until they finally get a minyan together. Lugano probably has as much or more difficulty with minyanim.
