 Poster: A snowHead

We are 2 skier-mums looking for a short break 5-9th March 2015 Thursday-Monday (as we have kids to be home for)... Does anyone know of the best companies to look into? Best way to do this? Most package deals seem to just be one week etc... all guidance welcome please...

@Toeni, try posting your requirements on Chalets Direct Solution Room - if you're happy to book your own flights, you should have no problem finding something catered and +/- transfers (some include them or at least advise where to book - if not ask US again  ) www.chaletsdirect.com

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@Toeni, Ski Solutions used to do this type of break. I've found in the past that Davos hotels are happy to book long weekends like this. I'd recommend Sunstar group hotels.

We have done this previously by booking easyjet flights (munich is a good bet) and getting accommodation through the village tourist office websites for Austria, try Kitzbuheler-alpen (may be dodgy spelling!) which covers the kitzbuhel, skiwelt and local areas. There are equivalents for other areas. The tourist offices have lots of local B&Bs and Pensions which don't appear on holiday companies or booking.com etc. Many of these do bookings by the night.

Have a look at http://www.snowbeds.com - they organise short breaks with or without the flights.
In France the Portes du Soleil or the Grand Massif would be a good bet as it's a short transfer from Geneva airport.
There is also a website called http://www.skiweekends.com specialising in short breaks.

@Toeni, the French school holidays don't finish till 7 March so that weekend might be particularly difficult. Is there any flexibility in your dates?

+1 good idea and because they do low cost Geneva transfers it can make for a good value break.
