Get Lower Prices on French Alpine Holidays

Nov. 16, 2010 - PRLog -- Peak Retreats 2010/11 winter holiday choices feature nearly 40 resorts which are not only cheaper and
more pleasant to stay in than their more famous ‘big name’ neighbours, but also have queue-free, high
speed lift links to the major ski areas. With groceries, bar drinks and restaurant meals - ski school and
equipment hire - also cheaper, the savings can be huge.
For example prices start from £207 per person for 7 nights in the brand new luxury 4* MGM residence
Chalet Des Dolines with an indoor pool, sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi in the historic ski resort of
Montgenèvre in the Southern Alps. With full lift pass and ski hire the price is still only £420pp.
