We find outside peak holidays its usually cheaper to get a deal through travel agent.
However we fly out to Milan on Friday afternoon, spend 1 night there, pick up a hire car and drive up to Livigno , hired a nice apartment for the week, xmas week and cost approx £1,100 for 3 of us ...
We did same last Feb half term and enjoyed lots

Don't forget to have a beer in the bar Agata, Great people :lol:

You might find the occassional bar may do something to get you through the doors but as for restaurants we are not big eaters!!!
Looks like its goulash, goulash and goulash for lunch!!!

I go to French resorts on a regular basis and the evening restaurants are not busy, skiers from the local area's will not pay the inflated ski resort prices, so I would guess it is tight now for them so they will have to offer something to entice you to spend some money, the big bucks will be made in the local supermarkets.

They are slightly narrower in the waist, but are an all mountain ski, and are of a superior standard, and the retailer is selling them at over £300 off the rrp.

I like those CMX10's, Dear Santa, Can I ....................................
