I am planning on doing the same dates as you. Waiting for the last minute before i book. Are those prices in Chalets or Hotels?

tommy10pages, good effort 
Have had to rule out Mottaret option - stupid o'clock flights meaning expensive taxi to Gatwick.

I've mentioned this on here in the past, but the last minute deals at travelzoo can be quite good and worth a look.

Josef K,
Judging by what is being reported on another thread, any saving on initial price of French holidays in particular will be taken by high cost of food & beers ( especially in Meribel by some reports I,ve seen).
Perhaps a late deal to Austria or Italy would provide more cost effective.
Good luck

Hi Mitchell, we're going Half Board so can do sarnies for lunch and guzzle the chalet wine to save costs.
From my experience Austria is about the same as France - other than beer.

I've been looking at Schladming and Kitzbuhel ski hire shops and they are over €120 for a weeks rental of premium skis where as French resorts seem to be more around the €70 mark which is a considerable difference. Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

I just booked a week half board in Andorra £244 direct with Inghams. It probably won't be the best skiing I've ever had, but it should be the cheapest...
My thinking was to spend as few euros as possible, so maybe see if you get get a 2 for 1 liftpass deal somewhere. Fasttrackski were doing that in a number of places.
Also make sure you ring up - some of the prices on the websites bore no relation to what the real prices were.

You know it makes sense.

Arinsal seems to be dirt cheap on last minute at the mo..have decided to go out in a week or two somewhere. Is arinsal still full of pikey brits?

Decision made and paid - Chatel, half board, flights, transfers £289 + £21 ski carriage. Would have been £269 but they slapped on a £20 late booking charge!
Right - how's the weather looking...
Never been to the Portes du Soleil so

You can't go wrong in Andorra, Grand Valira region! you will not be dissapointed.
Were looking for a last minute holiday to Andorra, either Soldeu or maybe Arinsal this year. I have seen 2 for 1 lift pass deals for grandvalira area depending on when you go.

superchoward, It does depend where you go in Austria. I've just had a look at the Intersport site, and in Kitbuhel, you are right - they are all €120 or more. But in Mayrhofen, they are €88.
Still more than the French ones you have seen, but not such a huge difference.
