An example of the cost for this year Xmas holiday is GBP340 ferry/fuel for the return trip for 6 people. Nine nights accomodation in an appartment that sleeps 8 , with 3 double rooms & a double sofabed in the lounge GBP900. We have done the full Dunkerque to the Gastein valley run in 1 day before (730 miles ouch) but will break it up this year on the way down with a stop over at a Xmas market in Germany.Obviously taking your own vehicle means no faffing at airports hoping the skis got put on your flight and not the one later (it's happened to me before / Geneva).Having your own skis & boots and not renting them out is obviously a big saving and much easier when you can pop them in the boot , instead of over sized baggage check in at GBP20ish each way. https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/9264/81744.page https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/9264/81744.page Mon, 22 Nov 2010 16:48:21 GMT reading this a bit late now, ive just paid out over GBP3000 for a week in the feb half term. <br /> <br /> ste https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/9264/82001.page https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/9264/82001.page Wed, 24 Nov 2010 13:21:24 GMT
