 Poster: A snowHead

Neil I'd say Andorra as well for a stag do. You can get return flights for under £60 per person, to Gerona with ryanair and others and if your not fussed on accomodation something off hostelworld or alpharooms will do to crash in. Yes you can enjoy getting to Chamonix within your budget but the spending money when your there will cripple you. Long weekend of moderate drinking cost me 700 euros!!! on a stag I suspect you will be more than moderate

I was going to suggest mountain sun in Tignes, we went there 2 Aprils ago on the long bank hol weekend and spent about £400 all in (we drove though.. which I wouldn't do again for 3 days skiing) it was wicked for skiing but not much going for non skiers where the chalet is located.
Good luck though, what a fantastic idea for a stag do. I'm engaged and doing a season this year and plan to get married in the alps, shame you have to live in France for 6 weeks first and do all the paperwork!

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

Hi Neil
Hopefully this suggestion will really help you out, not just an excuse to "pimp our wares".
Feel fee to check out our website at the bottom and look at the ski resort of Montecampione.
We offer 3 night ski weekend packages for around £180 per person in a 3* hotel with breakfast, lift passes and ski hire.
We don't include flights but you can get them with ryanair return for about £70 and rent a car (maybe £50 per person)
So all in you are looking at about £300, plus beer money of course!

Hey don't be fooled, in the ski season this is our most popular package, and there are loads of bars to choose from in the town and plenty happening.
No word of a lie here, we send at least 2 or 3 big stag groups (and some hen groups too) to this place, and because its so cheap, you will be saving money on food and drink compared to other resorts in France and Italy.
Here is one customers honest review....
United Kingdom 1 - Hotel was good, a little basic, but rooms were cleaned every day and reception always manned. Mountain was OK, ideal for beginners. A longer drive than we anticipated. Smow was good and Pistes well groomed. There was 14 of us in total and we had a good time! Prices of food and recommended restaraunts were very good. All in all we had a very good time.

Hi Neil,
I can certainly see the appeal to that package....but sounds likes it might be a bit of a trek to the slopes each day.
Either way I hope you can get some thing sorted, so feel free to get in touch with us direct for an accurate price, and who knows if there is a big group of you guys we may be able to knock a bit off the price...

I've been to Krvavec although it was in 2007/8 when there was no snow anywhere so it was the only ski resort open in Slovenia. I believe it's also the highest as well. Considering the Europe wide snow drought at that time they had a reasonable number of slopes open and what I skied was pretty nice, not just wide motorway pistes. I would recommend Slovenia as a country, been skiing there 3 times and had a good holiday every time although it did get more expensive each visit, particularly after they joined the Euro, so it may not be the bargain basement holiday you want. I've never been to Ljubliana but it is supposed to be lovely.

Neil - I'm 6ft 3 as well & did the skiweekends coach long weekend in april this year. I paid the extra £30 for the club seat with extra leg room & reclining chair. I slept well during the trip & had a stretched during the routine stops.
I found this a good value option & had advantages over air travel such as transfers to the door, no getting to the airport early to check in, more leg room than a plane, luggage with us at all time at no extra cost, travelled at night & arrived in time for a full days ski as well as a full days skiing on the day of return.
Got another trip booked for a week in January with the same company. I stayed in Brides Les Bains & woke up on the Gondola ride up to the slopes

There are good deals to be had with flights if your lucky!
I think our flights for Slov came in at around £80ish (excluding the easy jet rip off charges for ski carrige)
