Short break ski - who to book with?

I'd agree with the others who recommend going independent. Ideally you want a very early morning flight to a "ski" airport to enable you ski for a few hours on arrival day and a late night return to allow you ski most of departure day. Obviously, this works best with resorts close to the airport. Generally, its best to hire a car to maximise ski time but many resorts can be reached by train as well but this is less flexible.

Traditional resorts are more likely to have accommodation that will take you for a few days.

I've been doing it for a few years to Soll via Munich. If you are flexible on dates and accommodation it can work out quite inexpensive.

Good luck with your searches :wink:

Good shout Wanderer.Car cost would be £104 (less Quidco 7%) + winter tyres, say £32, ttl £131, plus gas, £155. That is more than train/taxi of £124, but at the travel times would be quick, and offer more flexibility.

Taken some good advice here and going independent.

Got a good deal on a chalet in Les Gets (£400 between 8 of us), flights to Geneva about £80 and then a couple of hundred for lift pass/ski hire.

Just need to speak with the bank manager in anticipation of the (supposedly) ridiculous French prices...

It might be worth going independantly, hotels will not take bookings for short breaks until a few weeks before when they need to fill their beds.
