Ski-ing holiday...All Inclusive...help..

mark_steps

My mum recently said to my uncle, mark can arrange your holiday...he can get good deals using a moneysaving site... bless her.

But i know nothing about ski-ing so require your help lol.

He has asked that:

He flies from Scotland preferably Edinburgh but would use London if needed.
He goes to Andorra preferred (but not essential)
Has holidays from 20 April to 29 April so anytime between these dates and
for 4 ,5 or 6 nights.
Has to be all inclusive so there are no times when he has to pay ...so ski hire, lift use etc are paid for.
Based on 1 person, one room.

Thanks

It will be very difficu;t if npt impossibe to find ski holidays to travel on that date I think and I wouldn't recommend Andorra as the snow can be pretty pointless at the best of times (in peak season).

I would suggest that you try and contact ski travel agents as they can do the searching for you and your uncle/mum never have to know

I have used a smaller ski agent called Skitracer in the past and they are genuinely helpful and are honest about what you can get...including deals. Good luck in your search.

Echo it could be difficult. Ski holidays (well the "all inclusive" type) tend to run from sat-sat or sunday to sunday, so for 7 nights. There are some that offer shorter breaks, but these are not generally cost effective (good for a cheeky weekend on the slopes though!). He is also likely to get stung for single person occupancy, so make him aware of this. He could book something for a regular ski week and only stay for part of it, but again, not cost effective and also bear in mind that airport to resort transfers can be expensive.

The site we often use is iglu ski - they have lots of different options on there for different tour operators and you can search for duration/accomodation type/etc

I'd also echo that Andorra would not be my first choice, partly because it's very late in the season. I'd go for a high altitude, more snow sure resort with a glacier, like tignes or val thorens
