Weeks either side of Feb half term

The prices as you can imagine are poles apart from half term. Dd will be 5, so I'm quite happy to take her out of school for a week to save £1500.

But, will there be no other English children there? Will it be boring for her?

Does anyone have experiences of weeks either side of half term please?

We have taken daughter out of school in March for 3 years running because if the massive difference in costs, there are hundreds of English children, she definitely will not get bored !! if you want to ski then do it, have fun :))

Thank you Lovetoskimum can I ask where you go. We were looking at St Johan in Tirol as we have been there before (pre children). But its a small resort, am thinking a bigger resort may be better?

We will Be taking our DD (5) skiing the week after half term. Going to Puy St Vincent with Snowbizz. Went in March last year. There were plenty of British children there during term time, just not the hoards you can expect at half term.

We're taking our kids out the week before half term to go skiing as this year the Scottish half term coincides with the English one. There are always plenty of English kids even when it's not the English half term.
