Just started to look at booking my second trip for Feb. I booked the first one almost a year ago and got a very good price.

However, I'm mainly looking in France, but everything I look at seems much more expensive than previous years! Is this because half-term is early this year. Even the lower standard accommodation is 700 - 800 for a week!

A week in North America is now looking cheap compared to this, even though it will be room only...

Me neither

Half board, Passo Tonale, 50% in apres ski Bar, learn to board package, all flights/transfers etc £500 - Thomson

Half term is almost double every year though. My price is for 8 march - low (ish) season

Looking at the prices for the big resorts i.e. Val d'Isere, Tignes, Chourchevel, etc it does seem to me that prices are up.

I have 2 points to make:

1. You may not be looking in the right places to get the best prices.

2. Avoid half term. Its a total rip off.



cue the arguement about taking kids out of school during term time......

I think prices are getting higher every year, but there are some cheaper choices. Last year I went skiing in France with my son and we stayed in hostels and we went by car. Very cheap, good for us.
