| Self catering skiing with holidaylettings.co.uk Thurs 22 January 2009
Skiing and snowboarding has never been easier with holidaylettings.co.uk. In this current economic climate don’t pay the earth for an all-inclusive catered ski package this season; opt for self catering, save the pennies and pretend you own your own place in the mountains, if just for a week! When holidaylettings last surveyed their holidaymakers, back in May 2008, they said, staying in a private holiday home often worked out more than 50 per cent cheaper than staying in a hotel. You can easily build your own cost effective ski packages with self catering accommodation, low cost flights and car hire. Enjoy the privacy, flexibility and roomier accommodation that staying in a private holiday home offers giving you the freedom to ski, eat and relax within your own timetable, rather than that of a hotel or chalet-bunny!
Holiday homes in ski locations offer stunning scenery and a great range of winter activities. Don’t feel you even have to ski everyday; most places offer paragliding, ice skating and snow-shoeing as downhill alternatives. Choose from a selection of chalets and apartments at ski resorts from around the world with holidaylettings.co.uk.
