Accommodation Wanted -Urgent (Europe)
Accommodation Wanted -Urgent
At late notice, some friends and I have decided to get away for a Short Break Skiing somewhere in Europe. We need some accommodation though, what's more we want to go in three weeks or so. Requirements a France/Italy/Switzerland - Preferably with reasonable Apres-Ski Self Catering At Least 3 Bedrooms Close to the resort centre Oh Yes! On a budget also. Thanks Piers |

Well, you've narrowed it down to a whole continent, are you sure you're not being a bit too specific? Seriously, it's hard to offer you any specific help based on this. There are a lot of great resorts. Your going in late Jan, it is pretty much the quietest time of year everywhere with a very good chance of decent snow cover in just about every resort. My advice would be to use Google to find the Tourist Offices of a few resorts and email them for lists of self catering apartments. I'd rule out Switzerland if you are on a budget. Italy is probably the cheapest country for skiing in general, but S/c in France won't break the bank either. If you want specific suggestions for cheap self catering try Flaine, Val Thorens or Tignes in France. I'm sure there are others but these are places I know to have a lot of cheap self catering and are as close to guarenteed snow as you can get. [note: cross posting to r.s.a removed. 'Nuff said] |

'Nuff said] Thanks for that. The reason I don't have to be too specific is I intend to drive to the resort. Wife is pregnant and can't fly. She can't ski either but atleast there is someone to prepare the coffee upon our return. I have only skied twice before in Europe, Risoul and Soldeau. I wouldn't go back to either! I promised myself I wouldn't ski in Europe again but the wife put pay to that one, suppose I could leave her at home? Sorry, "TO Sites" ??? What is a TO site. Having read it little bit looking more towards France and Les Deux Alps doesn't appear too bad for our requirments. Thanks for the inital advice, anything more is appreciated. Piers |

That's hardly short notice. Leaving the day after tomorrow is short
notice. Have you tried the TO sites? -- Hywel http://kibo.org.uk/ I do not eat quiche. Forgot to say, we also have 2 newbies with us so a cross section of runs is essential. |

Sure you can't get out here for Jan 9th? ;-) Can do you a very cheap week in a 3-bed apartment in Bourg St Maurice then! Pete - SNOWeSCAPE http://bsm.alpesprovence.net |
