Hi, am planning a short ski break for 2 people in March for 4 nights. I can easily book flights to Chambery and hire a car,but I am finding vacancies and apartment booking for anything less than a week near impossible. Can anyone help? Would i find a place to stay if i just turned up? Cheers,Oliver. ps thinking of Les Arcs,Courchevel,any high altitude resort.[/b]

olivercigar, welcome to snowHeads . Short lets are best booked at the last moment - as hotels, etc, are only likely to let for a short period if they have failed to let for a week. I would suggest you book flights then get on the telephone a week before you travel to find accomodation.

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

When in March are you travelling? I have an apartment in Les Arcs which is available 6-17 March. Although my minimum let is a week, the price is very reasonable and will probably be similar to what you might pay for a four-day booking (if you could find soemwhere which doesn't require saturday-saturday bookings). Follow the link in my signature if you'd like more information about my apartment.

olivercigar, Welcome to SnowHeads. I have an apartment in Serre Chevalier which is available from the 21st March up until the 2nd April. Available by the night too, but only outside school holidays. Again, follow the link in my signature for details. We had heaps of snow last weekend too!!

olivercigar, welcome to snowheads, see what happens you get inundated with offers! We normally book Sunday to Sunday but we do have some availability in March and we are taking short bookings, when do intend to travel? Have a look at our ad in snowShops or go to www.tracksvacations.com if you like what you see we can easily work out a cost per night.

olivercigar, I have an appartment rented in Alpe D'Huez for the remainder of the season. It sleeps 4, but is a basic ski appartment so no berooms to yourself.
Happy for you to share it for a weekend at the bargain price of £30 per person per night (self catering) but you would have to share with 2 other people (myself and another) for the duration.
Let me know if you are interested and I'll sort it out for you.

olivercigar, on those dates you'd be virtually certain to find somewhere, many resorts have online availability and bookings, and short-term hotel bookings would be possible at this time of year.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Olivercigar - try posting your question on the Solutions Room on www.chaletsdirect.com - Lots of independent chalet/apartment owners who can be flexible with the length of stay etc. Good Luck

olivercigar, we have availability for those dates Pm me if La Rosiere is of interest, if you want to know what the resort is like, Frosty The Snowman posted a very comprehensive review in the resorts section.

You know it makes sense.
|
olivercigar - we have an apartment in plan peisey, currently available from 18th march for a couple of weeks. Maybe we could do a deal on 4 nights?

olivercigar, As you'll have a car you could try staying in a valley town and driving up....Brides les Bains for 3V or Bourg St Maurice for Les Arcs (quick funicular up from there) both spring to mind. If you stay down the valley you're much more likely to find short stays. We've booked a number of breaks like this through www.logis-de-france.fr a nice range of basic hotels and we've never stayed in a bad one!

Hi Olivercigar, take a look at AlpSun.com if you are still looking. We have some availability at Puy Saint Vincent in the Hautes Alpes for March...we also have apartments within easy reach (15 mins) of Serre Chevalier. Other nearby resorts are Montgenevre, Risoul, Pelvoux, Vars, La Grave (All within 35 miles).
We can do short breaks or week and a bit breaks to allow people to take advantage of the cheaper mid-week flights. http://www.alpsun.com for more details.
Hope this helps.
