 Poster: A snowHead
|
OK, so I have put out many posts about different things but not really got the answers I need so I shall go for one long post!
I will be coming back to the UK after being away with work for most the winter and want to go skiing. I am an intermediate skier (just started carving) and am looking to travel somewhere on a cheap budget (although I have money I wanna do it cheap) which will still be decent to ski at the end of march.
I have looked up flights to Grenoble and they are really cheap for an arrival on the 26th Mar. This doesn't mean that I will deffo book there though depending on the feedback I get from this. I don't mind where I go as long as the snow and skiing is good!
I am looking at somewhere with cheap accommodation and transfers. The rest I can pay for full price, ski hire etc.
Has anyone done this before???
Thankyou in advance,
Rob

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

robert_dorling, Les Deux Alpes is your best bet. Transfers are about 20 Euros return (Airport to Bus Station to Resort and return). Plenty of reasonably priced hotels, Les Lutins is good and takes bookings other than Saturday to Saturday. That is Easter week though so you may find it more difficult. If there are other snowheads around easiski usually makes sure everyone gets together. I went on my own in January last year and had a great time. I'll be there from 29th but with my daughter, may see you there.

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

robert_dorling, depends what you define as cheap? What's your topline for the flight, transfer and accomodation?
Which airport are you looking at flying out of?
IMHO you would be better looking at Hotel or Chalet accomodation for half/chalet board as eating out will be pricey in France. What would you prefer?
The 26th is in the middle of the week that starts with Easter Monday so you may be better looking at going the following weekend - 29th 30th.
As long as you stay high the snow and skiing should be good. Where have you skiied so far?
Give us a bit more info and we'll do our best to help.

Surely France is not the best place to start for a cheap holiday

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

robert_dorling, I would look for a late package deal, it may work out cheaper even if you have to pay under occupancy. As for cost once you get there in Europe in general I would say France is the most expensive followed by Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Andorra ,Bulgaria. I know that the cost of living changes from resort to resort, but the list is based on my holidays or research on resorts I thought about going to.
