Reductions on Winter Sports holidays
Snow in France has allowed many resorts to open early. If you can get away in the next week or so, then there are some very cheap deals to be had.
Lift Passes
Many resorts are offering reduced price lift passes to reflect the fact that not all of the pistes are likely to be open. However the good snow has meant that there are a lot more open than you would expect at this time of year. Discounts include cheap lift passes or 2 days for the price of one.
Interhome has apartments and chalets all over Europe with a considerable number in the Alps and Pyrenees. If properties aren't let within 2 weeks of start of rental, they reduce the price by 33%. Some apartments on offer for occupation commencing between 7 and 12 December 2009.
An Apartment for 4 at Val Thorens, the snowsure resort in the French Alps can be rented for £244, reduced from £367. Or an apartment for 2 can be found for £205. Both apartments are within 50 metres of the lifts.
I like this company because it quotes prices including lift passes. They have a last minute offers page on their Website.
£200 buys a week at an apartment sleeping 6 at snowsure Les 2 Alpes and includes your lift pass. Cheaper resorts include Chamrouse and La Norma where a week's accommodation and lift pass can be purchased from £128 and £95 respectively.
