Look at Skitopia - basic accommodation, but all in (Flights, Transfers, Accommodation, lift pass, 6 days food - brekkie, afternoon tea and dinner, ski/book hire) we got it for £489 for a week. We are flying with BA from Gatwick to Turin for a stay in Mongenevre this year, but last year did Serre with them.

mystyc79, I haven't used RocketSki but have travelled with the sister company, Equity, a few times. We were impressed with the quality, service and all-in cost, and you can 'leave out' any bits you don't need (ski school perhaps?) although the reduction won't be full value as they buy 'in bulk'.
Regarding dates, if you can hang on until 2nd week of March the costs and availabilities will all improve as French holidays will be over (7/2 - 1/3)

mystyc79, I booked our trip three weeks before departure. Good deal too. Last minute doesn't have to be really really last minute.

mystyc79,
I'd go with tommy10pages , best to get a holiday you want at a good price rather than wait & try & get a better price as you may not get anything. Have watched the later deals ( although I,m already booked ) as I want to recal price reductions for perhaps another trip this season or for next year. What I have noticed a bit is the accomodation is available but the flights getting fully booked, so unless you have another way to get to resort, you miss out.
Dont kmow where you are hoping to go, but there do seem to be some decent deals at 1 to 3 weeks notice at the moment.
Good luck
Mitch
tommy10pages,
Where are you off to ?

Hardly if this is a first ski trip! Or was this ironic?

Have used Rocketski in Peisey, Les Arcs. It was a basic old hotel with a bar normally used by Equity for school trips. That particular week was full of last minute bookers. I thought RocketSki were sound.

Chasseur - The accommodation was pretty basic - we had an ensuite room etc, but others didnt. The rooms are more dorm type, but we had 3 rooms - each with 2 people in, so there was loads of room for all our kit etc. The Hotel Sporting in Serre also has a free bar, which is quite handy! The food was really, really good - standard continental brekkie (rolls, ham etc), afternoon tea (served about 4pm) of cakes / tea / coffee / beer, and a decent 3 course dinner (which was really good!). The Sporting is situated right opposite the ski train stop (or is a 5 or so minute walk to the lifts), and has its own ski/boot hire bit attached. The town itself is only a few minutes walk away as well. The hotel staff were good as well. The only downside was that the flights were with XL and to Chambrey. This year we're with BA to Turin, so much better! Although saying that, we were prepared to go to Serre again, to the same hotel etc as we knew what we'd be getting, if that makes sense! Hope that helps!

I would advise against using Rocket Ski.
My girlfriend and I booked a holiday last month to go to Montgenevre in a few weeks and they rang yesterday to say that they screwed up our accommodation and can't offer us any other in resort.
They won't even offer us a good discount on changing resort!

On the other side, I've used them the last 2 years and all of our party of 8 thought they were very good.
OK, the budget end of the accomodation spectrum, but very good locations, and the staff seemed to have very good customer service skills.
I might change my mind if they did this though.
