 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi
what is the cheapest way for a single occupant to find accomodation in a typical ski resort for around 1 month+?
Are there specific types of accomodation that are suited to this and and come at an agreeable price, and do not cost £300 per week!?
All insight welcome.
Thanks a lot.

There are very cheap hostels in some resorts, several in Chamonix, and the Bunker in Verbier.

Good question.
Primarily thinking Austria, but 2nd place is France. Also like Canada, but its a bit more of a trek.
Cheers

JT1, if you're planning a chunk of time, think about pass costs too. Some resorts do big discounts on season passes, if bought in advance. Ours had to be bought before 30 November and saved masses, meaning it only cost as much as 10 days separate passes. There's a thread on season pass prices somewhere.

JT1, have a look at this link - http://www.alpineelements.co.uk/season-ski-accommodation.html. I've never done it (very tempted, though), but it seems that the company offers chalets on a self-catered or catered basis for anything from 1-6 months, depending on the resort. They have Morzine, Tignes and Whistler. I met a guy from Alpine Elements once - it seems like a nice company. There may well be other cos offering a similar service, so hunt around. You could also consider trying to get a part-time/short-term job - there are a few around. Pam W is absolutely spot on about the discounts for passes bought pre-season, so definitely a good idea to make your choice fairly soon.
If this post makes funny noises on your PC, it's just my envious teeth grinding.
