Inghams and Crystal do some late offers, I got a week in Mayrhofen 24th Feb half board for £249pp including Gatwick flights to Innsbruck and transfers.

Alternatively, why not book yourself a cheap flight somewhere, check out the trains/buses at the other end, and source some accommodation. My mate and his Mrs got flights to Salzburg for £50 return each, train to Mayrhofen £45 return, and B&B in the town for £16pp per night. You cant go wrong.

If you go 2nd week in Jan, you will get a cheap week anywhere to be honest, provided the snow is better than this season of course!

If you're looking for a deal, then March is definitely a really good time to look. Plus there's the bonus that resorts are not so crowded, there is a good chance of blue sky and, if the last few seasons are anything to go by, the snow conditions can be great as well.

On the accommodation front its not peak season, so usually there's a good choice of availability. But top tip: don't just concentrate of the price of the accommodation, try to get accommodation providers to be flexible about dates. A mid-week check-in/out means you can take advantage of the bargain seat prices offered by be budget airlines. That can save you way more cash than a simple discount on accommodation.

Finally (and please turn away of you're offended by shameless self-promotion), we are currently running a Flexible Breaks promotion incl flexible check-ins, long weekends, mid week breaks. Basically, design your own holiday. Choose the number of nights you want, choose your preferred arrival dates and email Helen on stay@chaletinthemountains.com for availability.
