I don't suppose anyone knows a good place to try and bag a last minute ski deal? We can only do 4 nights, with the intention of 3 days on the slopes. We want as cheap as humanly possible but a relatively nice resort. I'm googling but I seem to be going round in circles! 

 

Thanks for any help.

I've just driven back from keswick in the lake district and theres quite a bit of snow there if that helps......

I used to work for a company called 'Flexiski', they specialised in such things as short stays etc and they are in nice resorts too......trouble is they ain't cheap.

 

I'm assuming there are other companies that do similar so i'm afraid it's a case of internet searching.

 

That said...if you want it cheap and not for your normal 7 day holiday stint, you may be better getting on tinterweb and booking accommodation separate and then sorting flights etc to suit......or drive?

 

Not massive help I know, but most resorts will have accommodation that is flexible and bookable last minute...it's just cheap flights and transfers you'd need to factor in too.

done a weeks skiing each feb for the last 3 years and found that it's a good deal cheaper booking all separate rather than going with an agent

a week in Chamonix was a little over 1000 euro for flights/transfer/accommodation/lift pass/skis, we did the same trip a year later(even the same accommodation) for less than 900 with a car hired out and all gear/passes etc sorted ourselves

 

there is bound to be some last minute deals out there but if you have a quick look for cheap flights and work from there i'd say you should find something reasonable

We have looked at that, but it still added up to 600 for 3 daysnon the slopes (granted we were looking at Tignes) Flights are easy enough to find and Ihave found some accommodation at a reasonable price. Transfers cost a fair bit really. Id be happy enough to drive but mate is not so keen. Ill have another look around.

If not, Keswick it is 😂⛷

Oh and I had a look at Alpine Elements (used them a while back) but no 3 day trips.
