A Sunday flight, five nights with friends or a full week starting on a Thursday. Start with the dates that work for your group, then find a home that fits.
Saturday is still the most common winter changeover day. Some homes also accept arrivals on a Thursday, Friday, Sunday or another weekday at selected times. A different arrival day can still mean a full week. A shorter break depends on how many consecutive nights the home can offer on your dates.
Whether you are looking at Méribel or Courchevel Le Praz, start with the dates everyone can make. If you can move the trip by a day, keep that option open until you have compared the stays available.
Keep the full week and change your arrival day
A Thursday or Friday arrival may fit your travel plans better. If your group is coming from several cities, agree where and when to meet first, whether that is at the station, the airport or the chalet. Check transfer timings and how you will collect the keys, especially if you plan to arrive late.
A Sunday arrival can also suit New Year. Compare the departure day as well as the arrival day. If some of the group are leaving early, arrange their return journeys before the festivities. Explore New Year stays.
Make the most of a shorter ski break
Four, five or six nights can work well if you plan around your actual days on the mountain. Check when lessons start and how many days each person wants to ski. A late arrival and an early flight home both cut into your time on the slopes.
For a family trip, start with the ski school meeting point. In Méribel, check how you will get there from the chalet, whether you are meeting at La Chaudanne or Méribel Village. Explore Méribel and its hamlets.
Check the dates before booking your travel
Choose an arrival date and enter your group size. Each result gives the corresponding departure, the number of nights and the total price. Different homes can offer different lengths of stay for the same arrival day, so check the details before booking your transport.
