Fancy staying longer than one week?
If you can escape the office for ten days, a fortnight or more (so far we have had a six week stay by the luckiest person in the world!) then why not maximise your time on the snow?
If you contact the Action Outdoors team with your thoughts, we can help put them into action. Whether you are after a zero to hero ski course, taking your piste skills into the off piste environment, to discover the world of ski touring, then we can propose a program that has this in mind. You can stay at the same centre for the period, getting to know the ski area like the back of your hand, or you can spend each week exploring a new resort, the choice is yours!
This option is very popular for those that are looking to take part in an intensive ski instructors course but are looking to improve their own ability first. Or for those that want to make the most of a career break. However, some people are just lucky enough to have the flexibility with work that we all dream of achieving.
There is a small discount (the cost of the middle Saturday night) that we can take off the price of your holiday when you stay for consecutive weeks. Our computer system doesn't allow this to happen automatically so please email the office at info@action-outdoors.co.uk to request this once you have paid your deposit on each individual holiday.

Logistics
If you are staying at the same resort then the logistics are easy. If you are requiring transfers, please just select transfer for your first week then email the office to ask them to change the return date. If you are travelling by coach, then please select own travel and book directly with Snow Express.
If you are hoping to change resorts, then please be aware that some resorts aren't that well linked without a trip back to the airport. Here are those that are quite easy to get between:
1. Val d'Isere, Tignes, Les Arcs, La Plagne and Val Thorens lie along the same valley and can be accessed by using the local bus and train. You can access these resorts from either Grenoble or Geneva airport.
You can then head to the airport and take a transfer out to:
2. Grenoble airport = Les Deux Alpes or Serre Chevalier (can be linked by local bus, not accessible by the Snow Express Coach)
3. Geneva airport = Les Contamines, Flaine, Chamonix or Argentiere (all of these resorts can be linked by train and bus)
