Hello!

I am going to Val D'Isere in March and was planning on beginning and
ending my trip in Paris. I am likely going to take the TGV down and
back on the twin Saturday's that bookend my trips.

March is high season in the alps. On saturday many people travel to/from


No it's not.

Is it? I've been skiing in the French alps in march, and it didn't
exactly feel as being anything but high season, which, in my experience,
runs from January till March at least.

Well, I've been skiing in the French Alpes (and for that matter the rest of
the Alpes) in Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr and May and I can assure you
that March is not high season unless there's some inflation and you're going
to describe Feb or New Year as ultra high season.

In fact March is great time in the Alpes because it's not high season and
it's a bit quieter.

The railways seem to disagree with you too, as the special ski trains
run wel into april.

I can't see that's relevant unless they operate marginal pricing and are
charging more at one time than another.
