Consider Snowcoach chalets, but take the flying option. Get him sorted in snowbaord school, Snow coach supply a ski guide, who will take guests to various mountains as long as they ski abit. Company on the slopes and get to know the other guests at the same time. Snowcoach do mainly France and would be well within your budget. You must know this already but France is well exy for Apres!!

Who would the main TO's be?



Thomson, Crystals and Neilson I am pretty sure do ski guiding, as do Mark Warner.

I've just priced up a holiday, and it comes to about £1500 a person, which seems quite a lot! I was hoping for under £1300pp.


:shock: Ouch, that is either a Mark Warner price, or during the half term holidays? When are you thinking of going?

Hoping to 6th or 13th March, as I prefer the slightly warmer weather and longer days in March, and this is outside UK and French holidays!

It was a Thomson price when I added on lessons, lift pass etc...

Currently looking at a Club Med one for about £1200pp which includes 4* hotel, full board, flights, transfers, lift pass, and lessons for 5 days.

I'm a creature of comforts so like my 4* hotels and nice food I'm afraid :shock:

I've looked at some of the links, but am nervous about booking flights separately, as if they get cancelled, then it can end up costing a fortune!! (As did happen to some friends of mine...!)

Ahh, sorry I did not realise your cost included all the passes, lessons and things. That would explain it.

The best tip I could really give for you, would be to wait till nearer the time and get a last minute deal. However, that may mean you would take a bit of pot luck on the holiday location.

Apart from lack of slopes and chairlifts, I think gadget girl should also be warned about the locals...
