Any advice on best short break beautiful scenery lots of snow and the best horse sleigh rides? Looking to fulfil my mums wish as she is terminally ill and I would love to arrange this. Short flight only or possible drive from uk and obviously the best of hotels for a relaxing comfortable 3 day break? Views very important as she won't be skiing unfortunately. I went a long time ago with my children in Austria but luxury wasn't the aim - was beautiful but wonder what else is out there. Thank you very much.
