Half term dates for Feb 2006?
Sorry if this is a FAQ, but I have tried Google Groups, and the page at
http://www.ski-lesarcs.com/fr/infos/...calendrier.php still shows 2004/05. Can anyone kindly tell me what February dates to avoid in the coming season in France / Italy - friends have invited us to join them in St Martin (de Belleville) for a week from the 25th, but we'd like to squeeze in a second week either before or after that. Any thoughts on St Martin as a resort? We're relatively inexperienced, about fifth / sixth week skiers, so crowded pistes and long queues for the easier ones are particularly problematical! TIA, Steve P |

Dunno about Italy, but the France stuff is here...
http://www.education.gouv.fr/prat/ca...calendrier.php Looks like 4th Feb to 5th March... so the week after your week of the 25th looks best!

Tks, Other Steve snip Just get hold of any UK Ski brochure and look for the most expensive weeks in Feb. Prices rocket for week beginning Sat 11 Feb, fall a bit for week beginning 18 Feb and then get back to "reasonable" |
