 Poster: A snowHead
|
Just lookimg at TO websites but no long weekend trips all are 7 nights. I know this from over the years but how do others keep finding 4 and 5 night holidays in the snow. Need some more snow before seasons out. Austria and Italy prefered but Andorra looks promising but seems expensive for what it is. Dates any time after 20th March. Any ideas?

Given how this season has panned out so far, look for something with altitude. Something with skiing at 2000m and above.

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

Book your own trip DIY. Iv never booked a package ski trip. Easy enough to do with Easyjet/Ryanair/Jet2 etc, transfer or hirecar, then a hotel or Airbnb. Sorted. 99% of the time its cheaper too.

There are daily flights to lots of northern Italian airports and rental cars are extremely cheap. Book flight/car and decide night or two before you go where you are going based on snow conditions if thats whats important to you.

 Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Fly to Innsbruck or Friedrikshafen or Munich, hire a car, drive to place with snow, stay in hotel, return.

Watch the weather closely in Scotland. There might be a 4-5 day opportunity in a weeks time due to weather and temperature forecasts. 20th March might be very very good in Scotland, but wait a few days to decide.

Yes, agree with previous comments - definitely put a trip together yourself. Forget tour operators.

Look at Sunweb, they often have deals less than 7 nights and will include lift pass too. We normally book hotel/apartment with them and then sort out our own flight and transfer.

@Gainz, I don't know about Austria, but if Italy or France you almost certainly, much more than most seasons, need to look high. Next 10 days going to be very critical to many lower resorts.
