Short break ski packages in France
To celebrate the launch of P&V’s new ski brochure for the 2009/2010 season, the French ski accommodation specialist has announced the introduction of short ski breaks to the French Alps and Pyrenees.
Those booking before the end of October 2009 will be entitled to an early booking discount of 15 per cent off weekend arrivals or four nights for the price of three for midweek breaks.
The short ski breaks, which can be booked for one to four nights, are available at selected properties throughout the ski season and offer greater flexibility for those short of time or on a budget this winter. All of the properties are located in resorts with short transfer times from major airports and train stations, meaning guests can make the most of their time on the slopes.
Below we have listed some of the short breaks currently on offer with P&V. For more accommodation options, visit pv-holidays.com/ski-france/short-ski-break-france_os.
