Outside of school holidays, I would wait for the operators to announce the
last minute deals (often released 6 weeks before departure).

Personally, I have booked flights (£700: LHR to GVA via FRA) and a (small)
apartment (£500) for Zermatt for the February half term. Great deal for a
family of four! Mind you, I booked it last April! I am hoping that Lufthansa
wont impose surcharges! It's worth pointing out that some resorts (Zermatt
included) offer free lift passes for young children. I don't believe French
resorts are so generous?

Having done self drive and self organised for years I am in the
position of needed to do a package type deal this year. Car to **** to
get to Alps and back. Don't mind organising flights / transfers
myself.

Preferably Tarentaise or maybe Flaine, flight from MAN or EMA or
similar. Appt for 2 adults 2 kids we will self cater. Going last
weekend in March, any ideas where to get best deals?

Have found a 6 person appt in centre of Val D'Isere for about £1300
for the 4 of us, didn't seem too bad?

There should be good deals around for March although prices have
generally been set quite low in the first place. For accommodation
only you can try http://www.skicollection.co.uk/default.cfm/loaddoc.442
