Skiing in Italy last week of January. Package deal best value?

Rowley Birkin QC · 2009-11-17 15:24:07

Hi guys, first foray into this forum. Just looking for a bit of advice on booking 4 days skiing in Italy in the end of Jan 2010. We are a group of beginners and it's more of a chance to get together with a few mates for a laugh rather than a totally serious ski adventure. So basically I am looking for the best value deals…

Hi guys, first foray into this forum. Just looking for a bit of advice on booking 4 days skiing in Italy in the end of Jan 2010.

We are a group of beginners and it's more of a chance to get together with a few mates for a laugh rather than a totally serious ski adventure. So basically I am looking for the best value deals that maybe some of you have been on before. Budget is around €360-400 per person including flights.

At the moment we are looking at this place but can't seem to find any reviews online.

Any thoughts or advice appreciated. Cheers.

Cheers, I saw that but the dates don't suit. Would have been a laugh if they did though.

Wait til 1-2 weeks before departure, last minute Jan is low season so always plenty of deals

reg your email add with inghmas , panr, direct , crystal etc
and ring these operators nearer the time

Aertel excellent for last min deals

Ring around travel agents nearer the time

Livingo italy always had specials avail then, mainly because of its 4.5 hr transfer, excellent skiing there

Last few Jans we got decent hotel half board down to approx 350pp, incl flights and transfer

Doing anything other than a week will be next to impossible with package operators so you'd probably have to do a DIY trip.
