Ski Transfers The Missing Link For Diy Ski Holidaymakers

Wed, 07 Nov 2007 00:00:00 -0500

Uncertainty about snow, combined with an abundance of budget and last minute travel options and increasing willingness to accommodate the flexibility required by today's skier, have triggered a big rise in self-arranged (DIY) winter sports holidays. During the 2006/2007 ski season, 356,000 people went skiing from the UK using budget carriers, up 54 per cent in five years. Most of the skiers and boarders arriving by budget transfer required a ski resort transfer. Most of them will have booked a ski transfer in advance with on of the many local ski transfer companies advertising on the Internet. Booking a ski transfer in advance allow you to start you holiday without the stress of getting to the bus stations and high taxi fares. Access to low cost flights and ski accommodation is becoming ever easier on the Internet. Ski resort transfers are still the missing piece in the jigsaw. Ski holiday booked through operators, although often inexpensive can lack the flexibility you need but provide a door-to-door ski transfer service to your chosen ski resort. Arriving late at an airport in a cold winter night not having organised any ski transfer to ski resort is not everyone's cup of tea. **End Summary** Topics: ski transfer]]> resort transfer]]> airport transfer]]> geneva airport transfer]]> lyon airport transfers]]> chambery airport transfer]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Xaver Matt is a ski travel expert.

The Last Resort - Ski Apartment Tignes

Sun, 04 Nov 2007 00:00:00 -0400

There are over 300.000 self-catering accommodation units in the French Alps alone, many of which are owned by private investors and individuals. The total amount of self-catering ski apartment and chalets in the Alps as a whole is estimated to be well over 500.000 units, not including hotels, guest houses and B&B. This is a very large number of ski accommodation, providing a lot of choice for ski holiday makers. However people often forget that many of them are in low altitude resorts. Global warming, uncertainty about snow and recent unusually warm winters makes many skiers and boarders look at higher resorts, ideally with access to glacier such as Tignes. One of the highest ski resorts in the Alps, with guaranteed skiing virtually year round, Tignes can justifiably boast a fantastic snow record that is the envy of many resorts worldwide. Tignes skiing area has over 300kms of varied terrain and the Grande Motte glacier (3550m) ensures year-round skiing with snow sure altitude. By nature ski accommodation owners and agents are looking to let as many weeks during a winter season as possible. Naturally there is lot of competition to let ski accommodation during mid and low season. **End Summary** Topics: apartment tignes]]> ski apartment Tignes]]> ski apartment in tignes]]> apartment rental tignes]]> tignes accommodation]]> tignes ski accommodation]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Xaver Matt is a ski accommodation and ski travel expert.

Ski Accommodation And Flexibility - You Can Have Both

Sat, 03 Nov 2007 00:00:00 -0400

Ski holidays and ski apartments booked through operators can be low cost but are by nature very inflexible, with ski accommodation bookings normally running from Sat to Sat. Uncertainty about snow, global warming, combined with an abundance of budget and last minute travel options and increasing willingness of ski apartment providers to accommodate the flexibility required by today's skier, have triggered a big rise in self-arranged (DIY) winter sports holidays. Through intelligent use of the Internet, snow conditions can be monitored, itineraries planned in detail to give the most snow time, and last-minute deals can be bagged with a minimum of fuss. Have you ever asked yourself why is it so cumbersome to find flexible ski accommodation on the internet or find your own ski apartment or ski chalet if you don't want to go for a package ski holiday? Other areas of travel have started offering vastly increased flexibility, but the ski travel industry still lags behind, prompting a big growth in DIY breaks using low-cost flights. Last year, 356,000 people went skiing from the UK using budget carriers, up 54 per cent in five years. **End Summary** Topics: ski accommodation]]> self-catering ski accommodation]]> ski alp accommodation]]> french ski accommodation]]> austrian ski accommodation]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Xaver Matt is a ski accommodation and ski travel expert.
