skiing with a 3 yo...without paying mark warner prices???

[noonar]

we went off peak with esprit last year, but this year we are limited to school hols.


we dont want to spend more than 3k for 2 adults and 2 children.

we want dd2, aged 3, to have a go at skiing.

any ideas about who we could go with. (we're talking NY of half term, so price is going to be our biggest problem, i suspect.)

well....

ah, thanks jools, will take a good look.

[lapsedrunner]

Or have a look at www.kinderhotels.com
You won't find the same hike in price or teh "UK" half term dates.

[lapsedrunner]

..meant "for the UK half term"

[noonar]

thanks, lapsedrunner. the only thing that concerns me is that my dds might be the only native english speakers. could you reccommend a specific hotel?

[lapsedrunner]

Sorry noonar, only just looked back at this thread. We stayed here www.galtenberg.at in Feb 07 with DS(4.5). The hotel was fantastic but very little snow. Language should not be a problem as you will always find english speakers. DS ski class was taught by a Brit, a Swed and a Dutchman.
I have been recommended Obertauern by friends who have been there several times, almost snow sure and only 1 hour from Salzburg www.obertauern.com, also have a look at user reviews on the Ski Club of GB website. You will also find that there are loads of hotels in Austria that provide great playareas & childcare but they are not a member of "kinderhotels". The Austrian Tourist Board site is great as you can search by alsorts of criteria www.tiscover.at/home/index_at.html?_lan=en
