Re:School holidays

Hi folks

I am just starting to look at locations for ski holiday number 2. I am liking the look of ADH or St Anton.

Have looked at some places in ADH for w/c 2 March and it seems to be an expensive week. Anyone any idea when the holidays tend to be in March kinda time?

last day term 15th Feb, back to school 25th Feb (local UK state school dates).

1st week in March is often regional French hols still.


(answers like buses, nothing for an hour, then two at the same time)
if I'm not skiing then I'm kayaking.

Ah, cheers chaps. That explains why 2 March may be a bit pricey :thumbup:

As for the non easter Eater holidays here in France (see the late March thread :) ), the February half term hols also last 4weeks- from 16th February till 16th March. For the week of the 2nd March two of the three zones are on school holidays - including the Parisians! The week after only the Paris zone is on holiday so it may be cheaper.

Personally we avoid the 4 week period like the plague for skiing in France (too busy and way too expensive!) and are off on a tour of the resorts on Andorra (not everyone's cup of tea but the familarity of Grandvalira and the unvisited slopes of Vallnord seem like a better option than the other Pyreneen resorts!!!)
