Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all,
I am wanting to go on a ski holiday for a week in Easter and want to know where the cheapest location for 5 students who are of beginner to intermediate experience would be. This would have to include ski hire, flights, accommodation, lift pass, etc. We would want to stay in a hostel for the low cost. Which ski locations are the cheapest but still good in Easter and what would the approx cost be?
I'm sorry it is such a wide question but I would appreciate any help, thanks.

joz, Welcome to Snowheads
1) does your college/uni have a skiclub/do trips?
2) Are they doing an easter one - although a lot seem to do the week before xmas..
3) If not then have a look at action-outdoors - http://www.action-outdoors.co.uk/ they act as an agent for UCPA which is the french youth hostel system. They do all in packages including kit hire, tuition, passes, 3 meals etc. There also in some great locations in great resorts - Les Arcs, La Plagne, Val Thorens Les Deux alpes etc. They also have cheap bars.
I have no association with UCPA/Action-outdoors, but I've seen there groups out on the mountain and the learners seem to have fun and the betters ones were really ripping up the mountain. They've also been mentioned positively on here a far few times as being a good option for reduced costs/younger type trips.
As an alternative you could look at a 'late package deal' with an English Tour Operator such as Nielsen or crystal - but look at going somewhere high that time of year, and probably won't be as cheep as the above
Enjoy your trip.

Thanks for all of these websites, they are very useful and i have found some great deals on some of these sites, one last question is will all of the resorts have snow at Easter time , 3rd April to around the 9th, or which will have the best snow that time of year.
Thanks

joz, higher the better. Look for altitude of resort as a rough guide. It's not guaranteed, but that time of year you should have no problems with most mainstream resorts.

I would definatley recomend buscevents, you will not find a cheaper ski holiday and you will be with thousdands of other students. There is a choice of different weeks, the first one is marginally cheaper but should be a fair bit quieter.
