Beat the credit crunch on the Alps

Action Outdoors are leading the way to meet the demand for ski holidays at prices to match the economy – crunched. In January, the Ski Express coach direct from London to the French Alps, is just £99 return, plus the all inclusive package means you can avoid crippling in-resort costs like lift passes, ski hire, instruction and lunches.

£491 is the total price for 3-10 January to Argentiere, everything you need to hit the slopes is included: a week's liftpass for the whole Chamonix Valley, equipment hire for the week, full-time ski instruction (23hrs over 5 days), 7 nights accommodation in Argentiere, all meals including breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and evening meal each day and return travel on the Ski Express coach. The only bill to pay in resort is at the bar!

The all inclusive price means there really are no hidden extras and it is possible to budget the total cost before you go, avoiding crippling credit card bills at the end of the month.

Not just January, but there are amazing all inclusive prices, any date, any destination with Action Outdoors, including:

£467 New Year, Argentiere
£558 February Half Term, Flaine
£428 Easter Week, Tignes

Prices include 7 nights accommodation, all meals including breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and evening meal every day, equipment hire for the week, instruction and a week's liftpass for the whole ski area. Return travel is extra, depending on resort.

Treat yourself to a ski trip and treat the environment kindly. The Coach is officially the most carbon efficient way to get to the Alps.

If you really can't face the coach, then take advantage of the all inclusive value package in-resort but select "own travel" and make your own way there.
