Peak Retreats

Just 'google'full accomdation name & it will come up somewhere on the list...........although if driving , peak retreats offer a euro tunnel flexi pass in the price ( which I can confirm is worth £399-00 on its own) so you will be hard pushed to beat their combined price.

Accommodation sites like Homlidays are quite useful, or the tourist board websites have plenty of properties...happy hunting it is all part of the holiday 8) 8)

Hi, NellyPS

As Frostbite said, I gooogle the full accommodation name and resort. It will come up somewhere, either the owners own website or a holiday rental site like holiday-rentals.co.uk. From these websites you can then contact the owner direct.

I usually fly Easyjet though so if you are driving maybe Peak Retreats will be cheaper for you.

Even if you book through Peak Retreats it is worth Gooogling the accommodation, just to check that its right for you as you should get more information about it than from Peak retreat site.

With regard to Peak Retreats -
We went to Samoens a few years ago (independently) but there were a few people who had booked with PR.
They were very happy with their holiday, but weren't aware of an offer that the village do where all kids under 12 were free for accommodation, ski hire, lessons and lift passes if an adult took the same products.
This was for Easter and I think they might have done it for Christmas too.
(can't find on their website for coming season, however.)

Obviously this did not apply with the tour operator and they'd paid for it all up front. They were pretty philosophical about it, but had they booked directly with the Hotel they'd have been a lot better off.

We did - and we did a week in Easter school holidays for a very good price.

My point is - make sure you've priced the cost of going with a tour operator against booking it yourself.
It would be a good idea to email the local tourist office to ask about any deals they may have. I always thought the Samoens one was too good to be true. But it wasn't!

Yes I used them last uear at xmas to drive to Notre dame de bellecombe and am using them this year to go to Saint Gervais.

This year we are going to fly to Geneva and then hire a car and drive the last bit.

Driving from UK is hard work and with the costs of road tolls going up due to the euro exchange rate we did not think it was enough of a saving given all the driving involved. We are a party of 5 and we could not find anybody cheaper at xmas this year or last.
