Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Cheap apartment in Dolomites?
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

Hi all

I'm trying to organise a DIY trip to the dolomites for myself and my partner during the second week of March. Its going to be our second trip of the season and therefore money is tight!

I've found that I can get great flights to Venice and then a very reasonable transfer to either the Val di Fassa or Val di Fiemme valleys in the Dolomites. Great I thought, but then I've been completely stumped trying to find good value self catering accommodation! I was hoping for something around the £250 mark for an apartment but that seems to be completely unrealistic unless someone knows any different?

Ideally we would like an apartment in a central village area within a short walk of a bus stop and/or cable car. Any ideas?

Failing that, does anyone know of any other areas within an inexpensive transfer of one of the northern Italian airports that has cheap accommodation? We are both reasonable skiers but mainly stick to blues and reds and would therefore need a ski area of about 100km to keep us happy for the week.

Many thanks to all.

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

I think alta badia (corvara, colfosco, la villa) and cortina do reasonable transfers by coach.... But neither are particularly cheap areas to stay in ....

It isn't an expensive area but I don't know about apartments - I have stayed in Hotels. Find the local Tourist Bureau website which will list them (this is the one for the Arabba area http://www.arabba.it/index.php?page_id=1050&lang_id=3 )

I was thinking about the Dolomites for half term but have ended up elsewhere. Colletts seemed to have some reasonably prices places when I looked http://www.colletts.co.uk/dolomites/

If you can get to selva val Gardena, we stayed at this lovely little apartment last year that's just 100m from the nearest small piste that then links into the sella Ronda system via a small drag lift or piste into the village. It's also just a 10 minute walk down the same piste side footpath into the village for the evening après. The apartments were inexpensive, spotlessly clean and had only just been refurbished to a high standard at the beginning of last season.

The whole area is great for skiing with scenery to die for. Village and mountain prices where very reasonable too
