Brittany Ferries Launches 2007 Self-Drive Skiing Holidays

A week's holiday from only £119 per person

Brittany Ferries has just added its self-drive skiing holidays to the website brittanyferries.com featuring eight of the finest resorts in the French Alps, all ideal for children and families. Accommodation is in high quality self-catering apartments with excellent on-site facilities for après ski activities.

Taking your car is the ideal way to travel on a skiing holiday as not only can you carry so much more with you at no extra charge - including, of course, all your ski equipment - you'll also have a lot more freedom at your chosen resort.

These holidays offer outstanding value too, with prices starting at only £119 per person for a midweek return sailing to France based on a car and 4 occupants and including a week's property rental.

The featured resorts are:

• Avoriaz - at an altitude of 1800m, this pedestrian village has a good snow record
• Belle Plagne - this lively car-free resort has a natural ice rink and outside heated pool
• Les Coches - situated in the Grande Plagne skiing area with 10 interlinked resorts, including Les Arcs
• Val d'Isère - considered to be one of the world's great ski resorts offering some of the best skiing anywhere
• Valmeinier - a small, friendly resort with spectacular scenery that has both great sunshine and snow records
• Valmorel - this car-free resort nestles on the edge of the forests on the slopes of Cheval Noir
• Val Thorens - with almost guaranteed snow, this is ideal for an early or late season holiday
• Vars - set in the heart of the Hautes Alpes region with around 300 days of sunshine each year

The best Brittany Ferries route to get you closer to the Alps is Portsmouth-Caen, with three crossings each way every day, and Caen is closer to these resorts than Calais!
