Looking for a pre-Xmas ski break? Quieter slopes, early snows, cheaper lodging. Well, our deal of the week comes from Lagrange holidays.

Lagrange has announced that its Prestige Residence Aspen in La Plagne-Villages will open one week before Christmas (11-18 December) – and with a celebratory rate to entice early season visitors. To coincide with La Plagne’s opening date, the smart apartments will be available to book from £785 per week, sleeping four; from £845 per week catering to six guests; or, take the whole gang and rent an apartment sleeping seven from £950 (prices per apartment).

Residence Aspen is typical of the comfortably-built smart self-catering accommodation: including the obligatory swimming pool and spa facilities (one free session/apartment/week); WiFI in reception, free cots and high chairs for toddlers, and an in-house bakery service. It’s also possible to pre-arrange holiday extras, such as lift passes and meal hampers. And its position in the higher resort base of Plagne-Villages gives it ski-in ski-out access, as well as the prospect of decent snow conditions.

Keeping travel arrangements flexible, Lagrange can organise self-drive packages or train travel, with transfers, for example.

Lagrange specialise in France, so you’ll find self-catered chalets and apartments in over 50 resorts. Early booking discounts are still available too, up to 20% on various properties.
