achilles, The weird week next year is the week leading up to Easter Sunday. Its off peak Thankfully our kids are breaking early so hopefully we will be having a quiet week in the Alps while everyone else is in school  |
No you will not, because that chart, wherever it came from, has excluded a small, but very significant, country called Wales. Better than that, certainly in North Wales, Friday 26th March is a "training day" so we expect to be skiing pretty well on our own.
Oh and just to finish it off, my flights were £5 each, including taxes and free carriage for 2 pairs of skis each courtesy of an airline run by a guy from another small, but significant, country.

I am sure that UK wasn't there before, did you put it in ? Anyway I think you are bluffing, you live in Cheshire don't you ? 
If any one is interested, I have a nice house for sale, just across the border, immediate transfer of your kids to a school that shuts for Easter on Thursday 25th March can be arranged.

thefatcontroller,
Seriously, do you, or anyone else, happen to know how many other areas in Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Ireland have fell in with majority of the English counties and gone for the later finish ?
Anybody know if there is a similar thing happening for October half-term ? Ours is 24th to 1st Nov.

skitow, I did a quick google and Scotland breaks early. However the real one to watch is France they don't break until 1st April along with 90% of English schools so it is expected that the week up to Easter Saturday next year is off peak. I am so looking forward to being there that week

thefatcontroller, Do the Austrians not do 1/2 term holidays???
|
|
|
|

|
|
bertie bassett, I would say the list is 95% correct but also this list is produced by a French company looking at rental weeks, are Austrians a big ski market for France?

The holidays aren't as bad as they're somtimes made out to be. Having always been told "Never go on French school holiday weeks, they're packed!" I went to the Meribel the second week in Feb this year. The deal was too good to resist. I found it to be relativly quiet and found pistes that I had all to myself at times. The resort runs were bad, but I hate them anyway so try and stay away as much as possible. I think you just have to pick carefully...but don't rule them out...if the deal is cheap enough!
