Poster: A snowHead
|
The demand for this week has lived up to expectations - we only have a couple of small apartments left for the week and a catered chalet (wht I don't know) but we already are 90% full.
My advice stay at home that week and come out at Easter or even New Year which isn't looking as busy as usual and is quieter on the slopes than Feb half term.
The ski schools are already getting fully booked and with both Paris and the Alps on school holiday that week I may just lock myself in the office and hibernate (only have to come out if the guests want ski hosting!)
Personally we are sending our kids the other way and hopefully they are staying back in the UK with thre grandparents that week!

My apartment was booked last February for that week, and we've had another half-dozen enquiries since then. Looks like it will be a busy week with the half-term crowds!

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

Whereas the UK schools half term is often over 2 weeks, I think that in 2009 everyone is off the same week

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Ray Zorro, and appears to be so for the foreseeable future. Apparently an attempt to pacify parents with children in different schools and different local authorities. I still think a regional system like France has would suit better.

boredsurfin, I will be working, as fortunately I have no need to go away in school holidays now.

Certainly is just one half term next year. Guess the authorities in the UK dont see thhis as a week to actually take a holiday. The French system would be good but skiing plays a much larger part in French life than it does in the UK. There are many pockets still available for half term though so you certainly haven't missed the boat yet - some countries don't even have a half term so why not ski there?
