Ski In Ski Out

If you are looking to secure one of Chamonix's ski in ski out, the best ski in ski out chalet the Valley has to offer, Chalet Prarion, is being snapped up quickly. Of the peak weeks the NewYear ski week is available, and at £14,500 you can follow in the footsteps of a famous golfer's wife who partied there last New year.

Skiing Half Term

The two most popular ski weeks of the season have started to sell well. The New Year ski week and the half term ski weeks are both two of the most sort over ski holidays in the calendar. The ski half term break this years covers two weeks whereas the February just gone we not only had all schools off the same week (public and private), we also what seemed half of Europe at the same time.

Whilst the split will help availability, don't expect any last minute bargains as this weeks is always a sell out and if any chalets have a room to rent by the end of 2010 for the half term skiing holidays, there's probably a very good reason why. And whilst all children can be testing, I know our can, they don't deserve second best, least of all a room rented by the Adams Family!!

Gay Ski

Well done to a company called Pink Ski who are to launch a dedicated ski site for the gay and lesbian ski community. Whilst the world has in our opinion moved on somewhat from the bigoted prejudices of yesteryear, sadly it still exists and therefore this site should fill a void in promoting resorts, accommodation, bars and nightclubs that will welcome gay skiers without any awkwardness that can sadly occur. God luck to them and we'll try and let you know when this site goes live.

Skiing Easter

For families one of the best weeks to get away are the Easter ski holidays and this year's Easter ski holiday's well and truly illustrated the point. Great weather, longer days, great snow, including powder on and off the slopes, all make the Easter ski holiday one of the best weeks to take the family skiing.

All bedrooms have luxury en-suites and a combination of Savoyard wood and Italian marblethat gives them real style.
