Your choice of UK airports? I normally fly Friday morning and fly back on a Sunday night.

Would you get say Friday and or Monday off. If not its a long way for a day mabe day and a half skiing. However if you can get a least one extra day you could go to Turin and then on to Sauze it's good roads motorway so shortish transfers . You should be able to get accommodating for a couple of days.

Hi thanks, should have wrote long weekend, was meaning to. I can have Thursday, Friday off, Friday, Monday or Monday, Tuesday

Manchester or Liverpool are my local airports and Leeds is doable although I guess Birmingham is possible too

I was looking at Sauze, one of my fav resorts.

Easyjet offer Thursday and Friday MAN~MUN flights, and MUN~MAN returns on Sunday and Monday.

Fri~Mon £152. Thurs~Sunday, £130. Plus baggage.

So you can choose a train or car hire into Kitzbuhleralpen, Kitz, Soell,Scheffau. Many other choices. Join me in the Wildschonau.

For a short time, I generally use the train from Munich Airport.

A good shout is travel out Thursday. Arrive early evening. Ski Friday, Saturday, Sunday until about 3.00pm.
Train to Munich, Sunday evening flight at 9.35pm. The Easyjet check-in is right beside the station.

B&B around €30/35 per night.

Or, if you live anywhere near London, Ebbs Fleet or Ashford so that you can get the Eurostar, you could get a night sleeper train from Paris to somewhere with a ski resort, and do the same on the way back.
