Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Ideas for next year

 Poster: A snowHead

Hi all,

I have been trying to work out a cheap Alps ski holiday during half term.

This year i went to Montgenevre, tried to do it on a budget but it still cost over 3k for self catering studio with bunks for the kids in the hall/entrance after paying for the ski pass etc...

It was not overly relaxing as we had to get the kids to crèche and ski school and cooked most meals.

I think i could spend about 500 quid more, still driving, and stay in a catered chalet that would also help with the kids.

Anyone got any good suggestions or experience with a complete budget of about 4k for everything incl food travel hotels etc...

My eldest is 6 and is competent on red runs, the youngest will be in pou Pou club. Happy to drive to Austria too.

I am also researching it, so will share my results if i find any good deals.

Thanks,

Oli

We know a couple who used to swear by Chamrousse, in France. A decent size ski area and free lift passes for the kids by all accounts.

Might be worth checking it out.

Been back and for to Altenmarkt in Austria for best part of 20 years. Kids learned to ski there from 3 years of age and they are 20's now! Good sized town with plenty of accomodation to suit budget. I took family there over New Year and stayed half way up mountain in' Bliembauer' and paid 1300 Euros for week in fab three bedroom apartment. It's cheaper half term as they dont put prices up. We have driven for last 15 years, stay overnight in Metz on way to break it up. Altenmarkt now has a large leisure center and pool and is only 15 mins away from Schladming, 10 mins from Zauchenese and Wagrain and 5 mins from Flauchau. However still great fun skiing in Radstadt/Altenmarkt and if you stay in Bliembauer or the higher Hochnossler then you are ski in and out!
