Skipad - direct ski accomodation across europe




Skiweekenders has recently stumbled across Skipad - http://www.skipad.co.uk/

The site offers a large selection of ski chalets and apartments across the main European resorts, allowing you to book direct with the chalet owners.  The independent accommodation appear to offer a great selection of prices and option across the majority of the major resorts in Europe.

The site is easy to use, with a simple and effective search engine, and even the option of an iPhone App should you wish to browse on the move.  Many of the Chalets and apartments offer Daily aswell as Weekly rates, but you cannot filter for this within the search. 

Prices vary depending on your level of accommodation and board - but prices look reasonable.  There are also various deal available such as free ski hire etc with some providers .

Overall it looks to be a great site, and offers an excellent additional resource for looking for you Short Break/Long Weekend accommodation.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year to all our followers/readers!!

The new season is definitely upon us, as is the snow - and there is lots of it!!! It has been dumping down across Europe with many resorts enjoying incredible new year conditions, setting up the basis for a potentially fantastic season.

Many people Ski Weekenders have spoken to who have already hit the slopes are already looking at a potential second trip later on in the year to enjoy the conditions.  What better way to do that then with a long weekend on the slopes......

We hope to proved so great tips, sites and advice to help you find that perfect break.
