Rocket Ski

Have not ever used Rocket ski for a deal.
They do support skiing in GB well though as they have donated a ski Holiday every year since they set up about 6 years ago to the British Children's Ski Team annual raffle which raises funds for the very under funded team.
They have always produced the goods and gone out of their way to taylor make the package to suit the ability of the winner.
It's helped to raise probaly over £10,000 in that time.
Seem pretty trustwothy and reliable to me.

Tony I assume you have now actually been on this holiday, but I'd like to add my pennys worth. Our trip to Claviere was with Rocket Ski and they were brilliant. Couldn't have asked for better service and have certainly never recieved the same from any of the bigger TO's.

I'm being slightly biased here as I used to work for Equity some years ago, although I didn't realise at the time of booking my holiday that Rocket Ski were part of the same company.

Anyway, highly recommend them in the future, they do some particularly good last minute deals and you will get top quality service.

Yes, my recent trip to Serre Che was with Rocket Ski. The accommodation wasnt great, but it was ridiculously cheap so we knew what we were getting. The organisation of everything was superb, starting with the online reservations etc, through to check in at Stansted where most of our party had not prebooked ski carriage, onto the bus transfers at Turin, the welcome on arrival and general availability of staff during the week.
I will be using them again (I have to actually, its a long story) and would have no qualms in recommending them to anyone else. However, be careful when choosing accommodation as some of the French clubhotels are like remand centres )

Rocket Ski also do some good prices, and their current late offers are exceptionally well priced.

Its looking like I will go to Schladming with them next season.

Tony - if you go to Schladming with Equity/Rocket Ski, you will probably stay in the Rossl. We have had a couple of really good holidays there.

We stayed at the Rossl (with Equity) too...just be careful there's no groups of school kids when you're in. (You'd do that anyway I'm sure)
Schladming is a great place, very lively in the town at night. I would like to go back.
(Avoid Prato Nevoso with Equity, not one of their better resorts!)

I think, apart from the Milky Way options, it would be best to avoid any of their Italian selection to be honest!
They also use the Sporthotel Royer in Schladming, but thats expensive, so it might be that I use the Rossl. It looks a damned site better than the clubhotel in Serre Che I used.

Theres tons of clubhotels around. They are basically hotels, but the chef gets a night off so you have to go out and eat. I thought it was going to be like chalet board, but its half board in essence.
You can get posh ones but the ones I have seen are usually 2 star or 3 star, and offer reasonable god value.
The one I stopped in was like the Luftwaffe head quarters - more akin to a military barracks than a hotel, but it had 2 bars, 2 restaurants, and bedrooms with ensuite facilities, and for what we paid it was ok. I just wouldnt choose to go back to it again.

Take a look at Equity Ski's website and see what Clubhotels they use.
