Had the most wonderful week skiing in Les Arc at Easter, on the case to book for next year, want cheaper than we all paid this year :), so looking at self catering apartments / chalet, have posted in Chalets Direct, any one know any where else to post out for accommodation ??

Many thanks :)

Try posting on Snowheads - if they can't help you, no-one can!

P.S. - Am v. jealous re the Easter skiing - we were over in Portes du Soleil in mid-January - only three days proper snow out of eight Sad. Didn't manage to arrange another trip due to other commitments.
Still, there's always next year...Grin

Try muchbetteradventures (.co.uk I think)...

We've stayed a couple of times at the Pierre et Vacances self-catering complex at Les Arcs (and often with them elsewhere). Not cheap, but reliable, and low hassle. When not using PetV we book with Owners Direct. I think you end up having a contract with the owner rather than the agent, which leaves me feeling mildly anxious (abated a little by some internet research on the owner before booking), but we've never had a problem in practice, and have had some lovely apartments.

Thanks for all messages, still searching and will be posting for advise, its really hard as our group contains 8 adults 3 children and an infant, all three families want something different !!!

Makes for a hard ski holiday to book !!

We like hot tub and pool, our daughter is 6 (if possible)
1 couple want ski in and out ( makes it expensive)
The other couple have to account for 16 year old, two teenage girls and an infant !!!

HELP :):)

the french owners tend to use homeaway holiday rentals rather than owners direct. We have just booked an apartment in vallandry for feb half term through them. If you want a pool you are best off looking at peak retreats who do most of the big complexes.
