Sounds expensive to me


So how much should you be able to ski for in France? for a 3 night break? Just need a figure to try and aim for.

Many thanks

Flight if your lucky £50
Car £100
Accom £200 to £400

That is a guesstimate we normally go for four nights, I guess the best advice would be, be flexible 8)

Service your car
Check your wipers
Anti freeze down to -30
Green card
5 star breakdown cover
Beam benders
Strong mixture of windscreen wash
Drive on the right side of the road
Petrol
Credit card is useful
And a map

Thats a real good point Amanda it is a good way of spreading the cost over a period of time :thumbup:

i try and plan a year in advance gives me something to look forward to and putting something away would cover the cost, one wage earner here so have to be sensible, but i am trying France in april and it wouldnt be too bad too car share mine is big enough for 3 with skis/boards and luggage only a little 205sw, but i had to get the snowliner roofrack to get us to the airport at xmas so thats one expense gone

If you can get someone to go with you then the travel costs are halved, but be careful like I have said in previous posts It can work more expensive, but a good adventure if your up foe one :shock:

all the regulars here seem to recommend diy trips i have read bandits blogs and she is very brave all the travelling, so i thought i might give it a go, and it will give me something to pan over the long boring sunny months
