A week off used to be the only practical way to consider a ski holiday, but daily Jet2.com flights throughout the winter to Geneva and Chambery mean there are plenty of opportunities to sneak away for just a few exhilarating days if you fancy a weekend ski break in Val D'Isére.

Obviously it is important to organise everything in advance to maximise those precious hours on the slopes, but this can also be cheaper!

It is essential to book accommodation near your resort in advance. Jet2.com's accommodation specialist features a range of hotels and self catering apartments in France to suit all budgets. To book your flexible ski and snowboarding accommodation visit Jet2.com/hotel.

Alternatively why not drive low cost - Jet2.com have teamed up with Hertz to offer you great value, low cost car rental in all Jet2.com destinations - find out further details and to book online visit the Hertz website.

Other factors which make Val D'Isére an excellent weekend resort include the range of skiing for all levels, excellent aprés-ski and an extensive range of non-skiing facilities. Due to its high altitude snow throughout the majority of the season is pretty much guaranteed, making it a good choice if you only have a couple of days! Also, why not consider midweek breaks and take further advantage of great flight and accommodation prices and of course the emptier slopes!
