With any duration fares starting from £25 each way this winter for a car and up to five passengers, the affordable way to reach Europe’s slopes this season is with SeaFrance Dover-Calais Ferries. Forget about extortionate baggage charges, airport security queues, weight restrictions and extra charges for skis; a SeaFrance crossing works out at just £6.25pp (based on 4 in a car) and includes transport of all skis, boots and as much luggage as can be fitted into a car or roof-rack!
With Ryanair now charging from £40 for skis this season a family of four could save hundreds of pounds taking a SeaFrance superferry and driving to the slopes instead. SeaFrance also allows customers to travel with a roof-box free of charge, giving them even greater comfort and flexibility with luggage.
What’s more, French self catering holiday specialist, Lagrange is offering 20% off selected ski properties when booked at least 150 days in advance, meaning holidaymakers could save even more on their ski break this year.
Brand new Prestige apartments in the 19th century ski resort of St Gervais (under eight hours drive from Calais) are available from just £439 per week; with a return SeaFrance crossing that’s just £122.50 per person for a weeklong ski break. Sleeping four and complete with indoor heated swimming pool, spa facilities and communal lounge with open fire, the apartments are ideal for families and groups of friends alike. Lagrange is also offering 10% off all ski hire booked before 30 September 2010, with packages from as little as £54pp per week.
SeaFrance operates up to 15 daily return crossings on the Dover-Calais route. Fares for a car and up to five passengers start from just £25 each way online this winter for any duration and from £19 return for a day trip.
