 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all,
Hoping you can help!
We are in need of advice as to where to go for good snow on a budget for either the w/c 4th/5th or 11th/12th April?
Ideally we would want a catered chalet or half board hotel. We are a mix of intermediates and beginners.
We want to spend about £400 on Flights,transfers and accommodation (incl food and booze if possible).
I've found the odd package deal around our budget but they haven't hung around long and haven't been in the highest snowsure locations.
I know i am asking a lot but hopefully you can help!
Thanks

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

Cheap? Have you seen what is happening to £/€/ChF exchange rates? If you expect cheap you are in denial. But welcome to snowheads anyway.

Does it have to be a package or are you willing to put something together yourself?

charltonfan1, Welcome to Snow Heads  You will be incredibly lucky to find all you want, in this peak week, at your budget. Easter is very busy next season, partly due to there being only one half term week in February (there are usually two) and families are now going later in the year. If you can look at s/c and be flexible you will stand more chance - does it HAVE to be this school holiday week?
You could hang on to see if offers come up nearer the time but very risky given the lack of availability now and with a large group, you may find something but would have to split up

thanks for all the welcome and info so far.
Fenlandskier - most of my friends don't like charlton, they are sensible!
I know my request is a big ask! I am willing to put together a DIY trip if its going to be much more cost effective.
Anniepen - We can go either of the easter weeks if that helps, the w/c 11th seems cheaper from what i have found so far

Easter Easyjet flights have only just been released so might still be at sensible prices. I say go indie if you can spare the time to do all the research and that.

Very much doubt you will - St Anton isn't cheap and especially not in peak weeks
