 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi,
Recently, I've found myself with an unusually long Xmas break from the 24th Dec-28th Dec, and since I don't really celebrate Xmas, I thought I might go skiing, as I've heard this season is very good. Normally, I'd settle for the "easy" option of booking a package holiday, but all packages I've looked at seems to be 99% 7 night affairs which doesn't really work for me very well...
So I've been looking into sorting out my own holiday, but it seems awfully complicated. The extent of my experience is three package holidays in Soldeau - but I consider myself fairly competent (i.e. can ski down a hard-ish red, although maybe a bit too rusty for blacks!).
My friend who's way more experienced than me mentioned Serre Chevalier, and whilst apparently there are overnight trains to Briancon according to the Serre Chevalier website, I can't seem to find them 
So, I was wondering if anyone could help me work out a trip to Serre Chevalier please! Or something similar....? It doesn't need to be Serre Chevalier, as long as it's reasonably cheap (sub-£400?)
TIA!
EDIT: I _could_ take a "regular" 7-days package holiday if there's something reasonably decent & cheap, but that'd mean taking 2 days off work (Mon & Tues), which I'd prefer to avoid if I can!

Mrdini, welcome to SnowHeads. The sleeper trains run from Paris Gare d'Austerlitz to Briancon, but they may be full by now. Try contacting Melanie ( info @ eurekaski . com without the spaces) , she may be able to find you accommodation, or you could try the tourist office. www.serre-chevalier.com

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

Yeah - I've had a look at Rail Europe, and either the website's broken (it seems to be really finicky with train times), or the overnight trains are full - as I cannot seem to find any overnight trains
Will keep eurekaski in mind, if I manage to find transportation...
