APRIL SKIING

Heavy snowfalls over the past two weeks mean that the ski season will now continue well into the month of April this year.

Already with Easter falling relatively early this year - weekend of 22/23/24th March - there has been a revival of interest in long weekend ski packages in both Pyrenees and Alps.

As this period is more or less 'low season' prices are extremely attractive:

ST LARY
3 nights 2* hotel + breakfast + 2-day ski pass + hire car from airport = €215 per person (base 4 people sharing car)

The thought of taking a long weekend skiing holiday in France would have seemed ridiculous only 10 years ago but with the arrival of low-cost carriers at every 'ski' airport in France has changed things dramatically. One is no more than 90 minutes from a Pyrenean resort if landing at Pau, Toulouse, Carcassonne or Perpignan.

Life for alpine skiers is a bit more difficult but for those willing to settle for a good family resort like Chamrousse or Superdevoluy then its possible to fly to Grenoble and be on the slopes 90 minutes later. Same for those who can fly into Chambéry where the choice is even wider.
