 Poster: A snowHead
|
We are flying to Geneva 3rd April for 5 days ,looking to Ski in France within 2 hrs drive of Geneva
To cut down on cost i was looking at a few resorts with cheaper Ski passes ie:La Clusaz etc ,but obviously those resorts don't have the high altitude of the more expensive places.
I prefer to wait until a few weeks to check snow conditions .
So my question is does accommodation sell out fast at easter?? ,so needs to be booked months in advance
thanks

A lot of accommodation is Sat/Sat so you'd probably have to take something from 2 - 9 April. I think you can afford to wait - especially if you are prepared to be flexible and maybe drive to slopes - as you'll have a rented car, presumably?
If snow is decent - which is very possible, as it's still early April - you would have a lot of choice, including a number of less well known resorts, whilst most Brits head for the bleak and treeless heights.

@wasley, You are aware that Easter Sunday is March 27th 2016. You are going the week after Easter. My thoughts are that there will be lots of vacant accomodation at that time.

You'll need to Register first of course.

i'd agree with @johnE, the French don't really do Easter. worth checking what the UK standard school year date are though as (annoyingly for me, wanting to rent out apartments) they have nothing to do with Easter dates and are typically much later (I think).

@wasley, I am sorry; since I do work at a school or have school age children when someone says Easter to me I tend to thin of the period from good friday to the bank holiday. Both of which I get off work. I am off skiing for both weeks of Easter. In fact I can get 15 days skiing, from March 19th to April 3rd, for only 7 days off work. We get the day after the bank holday off as well 
Though sometimes the orthordox easter causes some confusion.
