 Poster: A snowHead
|
I'm hoping to book a holiday for half term or Easter next year and looking to find other single parents who might be interested in going (I ski and my boys are 10 and 7, one boards and the other skis) I'd prefer not to go with an organised agency if I can help it, the costs are quite high and the choice of resorts very restricted. Does anyone have any ideas where I might begin my search please

1sunnyday, someone on here used to organise trips for singles, but not for one parent families. As I recall she booked a chalet, and then sold places in it to other singles. A quick Google came up with http://www.singleparentsonholiday.co.uk/2009-02-Alpendorf.php this website, but it is probably no what you were looking for. One way to avoid the supplements for one parent families would be to book a whole chalet at a set price rather than per person. Is there a froum for single parents where you could post for like minded others to join you?

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

Hi Helen, thanks for the reply  I've scoured the internet and yes, there's quite a few single parent forums but whether I'd be able to drum up enough interest to fill a chalet is quite a risk. I thought I might have a little more luck on a skiing site but perhaps you're right, the single parent sites could be better. I've arranged loads of group holidays to halets in the past but always with friends and their families. Now I'm on my own they're all still really supportive but I thought maybe going with others in the same situation would be fun. Perhaps just booking somewhere that's good for my family then posting an entry for others to join us if they like might be a way ahead too? One thing's for sure... we're DEFINITELY going!!!

1sunnyday, We are not specifically aimed at one parent families, but have had many stay with us here in Morzine.
We have a room available that sleeps up to 4 for half term week, which would suit you (and a twin room). We already have 3 other small groups booked in. Children of 10,12,14, & 15 in the other groups, so some good games evenings are guaranteed.
All rooms are currently available for Easter.
We are primarily a B&B, but do some evening meals by arrangement. Close to town and lifts or ski buses.
Have a look at our website below. We would love to have you stay with us. Nina can offer you a special  price too.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I've been away with www.singlewithkids.co.uk on their Ski-ing holiday to Bulgaria. Just had a quick look at their website and they still seem to be running this. http://singlewithkids.co.uk/holidays/ski-in-bulgaria/ The hotel was lovely, everything was included (from memory this was the passes, lessons and hire) and it was great to meet other single parents when the kids were off playing. Hope this helps x

1sunnyday, you can book a trip by yourself to Andorra, they do 'chalet-hotels' there like the Novahotel at Pas de la Casa, book it through Booking.com, or the Granvallira portal, can also include transfer from airport and the bus stops just by the hotel. Fairly reasonably priced, you can a family room which will do all three of you. Also good ski school at Pas. Slopes to suit all levels of ability..... Now to find similar folks interested.....

Seeing that the OP posted the question over 7 years ago, you might like to think they've found something by now...
