Winter sports breaks can be seriously expensive during February half-term and the Easter holidays but there are bargains if you know where to look
Action Outdoors is the UK partner of UCPA, a French non-profit group that works to make outdoor sports holidays affordable.

Les Contamines, in the Mont Blanc region, is a friendly, quiet resort with higher than average snowfall that’s often overlooked in favour of big-hitting neighbours Chamonix and Megève.
