BaconBoy Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Does anybody drive over to the ski resorts from the uk? Were Thinking about driving over next season,2 adults and 2 kids Does the total holiday price work out much cheaper than a package jobby.

AVB Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 I've just checked, white and cold buddy Thank God for that. I hate the black and warm stuff 😀 Does anybody drive over to the ski resorts from the uk? Were Thinking about driving over next season,2 adults and 2 kids Does the total holiday price work out much cheaper than a package jobby. I don't see how it could. A lot of packages offer flight free deals but they never seem to be much cheaper. And cost of fuel, tolls and then the stress of driving. I wouldn't bother. Some do though.

shootthepigeon Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Fly to sestriere on the 26th can't wait to get out. We drove last year (just a cheap and cheerful) had a great time and saved a bomb, going self catering and managing to take a lot of provisions with us, except wine and beer, if easter didn't fall so late this year I would be back on the tunnel, (but haven't ruled it out as yet!)

I sit on the morning easyJet release flights at 7am. With 2 iPads and a laptop. Looking at costs from 3 airports. Book the cheapest one. I couldn't drive from Newcastle to Geneva for what I paid. That's before ferry and tolls. Even this week I got a price for Wed to Wed in early march EDI - GEN, return for 2 adults and 2 children for less than £150 before cases. With skiing, the airfare is normally the cheapest part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be careful about local regulations on tyre types and snow chains and the like. Some resorts won't let you drive if you haven't got the right stuff on the carand the right stuff might add costs to your trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaymo Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 UKPoacher, you are so right in this aspect. Even on the Med the locals would be worried about whether they have had their winter tyres put on! For god sakes, apart from some low overnight temps the roads are so dry that in 8 years I never experienced 'black ice' Obv a few like ourselves would travel wax weeekd to the snow, but even then we had to have a set of compulsory snow chains/socks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stumpy69 Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Les Arcs (again). Fly out on the 25th. What's the snow been like? Very mixed. Had the worst day skiing where it rained all day but also the best day with 2ft powder. Been snowing today since 4pm probably another 1 ft of snow. I found les arcs a lot busier than la plagne. Was finding virgin snow all day today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
