Budget Travel - On the hunt for a good budget skiing destination in Feb.View Full Version : On the hunt for a good budget skiing destination in Feb. ProggerPete Jan 1, 08, 2:03 pm Looking for a good budget ski holiday somewhere in Europe during February. Not really fussy where, just want a place with good skiing and a hotel that's close to the ski lifts. Anyone got any suggestions? kahuna613 Jan 1, 08, 9:56 pm Wondering the same thing, particularly in France or Switzerland... rustyr Jan 7, 08, 1:38 am I would think Austria would be cheaper than Switzerland and there are plenty of resorts w/nearby accomidations that are not expensive. First find out what the snow situation is like as last year it was bad and quite afew of the lower elevation resorts had poor skiing or even closed. www.ski-europe.com could shed more light on resorts. alanR Jan 7, 08, 6:43 am Biggest problem is that most of Europe has school holidays in February and places like the Alps (any part of it) will charge accordingly If you want cheap then go to Eastern Europe ProggerPete Jan 7, 08, 7:43 am I've settled on Bansko in Bulgaria. Apparently there is a fair bit of construction going on, so I've prepared myself for some not so awe inspiring scenery. I'm there to ski so I can deal with a lack of eye candy. gosha83 Jan 7, 08, 12:18 pm I've settled on Bansko in Bulgaria.

Bulgaria has plenty of other kind of eye candy. Good choice! brarrr Jan 7, 08, 12:53 pm i think there was an article in the NYtimes in december about skiing in bulgaria, with lots of good information. might prove useful. rustyr Jan 8, 08, 10:16 pm i think there was an article in the NYtimes in december about skiing in bulgaria, with lots of good information. might prove useful. the article u are referring to:http://travel.nytimes.com/2007/12/02/travel/02bulgaria.html ProggerPete Jan 9, 08, 3:12 am Hardly a glowing review, but I'm sure I'll enjoy myself. Incidently, if anyone else is planning a trip there. Why not grab a quick flight across to Rome or Vienna. Budget flights are a bargain at around 20 pounds. stevenryals Jan 9, 08, 11:45 am Bulgaria has plenty of other kind of eye candy. Good choice! Was going to say the same.. It will be a fund trip for you.. Enjoy, and remember to write a review wherever you can :) |
