 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi Everyone,
I'm new to the forum but been into snow sports for some time. Looking at a trip leaving Feb 18th for a week, prefer Austria but not too fussed. As its half term I'm looking at £800 per person through iglu/chrystal etc. Is this what most people do or are there alternative companies I can book through. is it cheaper to get flights and arrange own accommodation etc as I have never done this. any help would be mega
thanks for any suggestions

It depends on how stuck you are to those dates, and whether you want to organise it yourself. For example, we are doing a trip that week, but flying out on the Friday and staying in a (cheap) hotel Friday night. We are driving to an area not too frequented by Brits so not as susceptible to price hikes that week. Self catering in an apartment. We will get a full week of skiing and fly back on the Sunday.
So it's a half term trip. With one day out of school

Our half term is the 18th @warbis66 - for some reason there are two different half term weeks this year depending where you live?

. We went to Bansko last half term and the queues were extreme, and the runs very crowded. Now given UK has two different half term weeks I don't know if that will help but it isn't just full of Brits so I doubt it.
Most definitely both weeks are half term though I believe less are off for the second week, certainly based locally Dorset and Wiltshire are first week but Hampshire is the second week. Annoying my youngest has half term on the first week despite her school being in Hampshire but eldest has the second week

I got cheap EasyJet flights for that week plus an apartment in Salbaach for about 600euro for the week. Add a lift pass and transfers and it's coming in around £700 each.

Yep same got easyjet flights to Geneva Sunday 19th for £82 + £60 for skis. Shared transfer to Avoriaz with Alpybus for 48 euros return, and have got the smallest of the small 2 bed apartment for £400 (£200 each. So so far up to about £400 with lift pass to go.
