ok, having done a quick google the majority of UK schools seem to be on half term 15 - 19th Feb, France and Belgium are on hol for the majority of Feb, aparently Fasching week (no idea what this is) is on 15 - 19th so it's a week to avoid like the plague in France... |

Not every problem can be solved with duct tape, and it's exactly for those situations we have WD 40 and zip ties |

Ah whaaaaat?
I'm definitely up for this, depending on final price and dates anyway. I think if it's much over a grand then it's a bit excessive and I'll end up going on holiday somewhere cheaper lol |

Yeah, but that was "FROM" so probably be the price for beginning end of season. Mid season is always more expensive... |

Okay, I finally got through to If You Ski (I think I may rename them 'If You Ski, maybe better to ask somebody else about holidays').
I basically said "Give me a breakdown of prices for next February" and was met with the reponse that they will have to price all of these individually, so it would take forever. I assumed they would have every week mapped out seeing as it's all inclusive.
What James did tell me was that February is peak season so would be more expensive, but I think we all knew that. He said that mid-March and mid-Jan would be the cheapest (probably around the £699 mark as advertised). As some said that Jan is not the best, I have got him to price up a week at the end of Feb and a week mid-March based on the following.
- 7 nights
- 10 people in 5 rooms
- Flights from Gatwick
- Some sort of transfer bus instead of car hire
He said it will probably be tomorrow now before he gets back to me, so I will let you know as soon as I do. My only reservation is that end of Feb/March is a bloody long time away! |

James clearly underestimates his abilities! He has got back to me already. And the results are:
27th Feb - £1050
13th March - £771
20th March - £715
He said that prices would remain at £715 to probably the 17th of April, but are likely to be cheaper early season. These are for 'standard rooms'. All are en-suite, the only difference between these and the 'upgraded' is they don't have balconies.
I asked him how bad the food was and he seemed quite put out. Must re-phrase my questioning.  In my experience these 'club hotels' are funtional and not much more. But free booze definitely takes the edge off.....
What do people think? I would be happy to look at the 20th March and see if I can get a more full quote for that if there is enough interest. I figure it allows people time to get over their previous holidays and Christmas and gives us some slushy fun to look forward to (although this place had a ton of fresh in May this year apparently).
May I suggest a provisional list? Any other comments welcome. I will scope out other options to along with my little helper. |
