Resorts in this article: Le Grand Bornand, Sainte Foy Tarentaise

Peak Retreats has announced a number of late season deals for the remainder of the winter. The company specialises in small unspoilt French ski villages which are connected to, or near to, some of the giant ski regions for which the country is famous.

They are offering a week in a two-bedroom apartment in Sainte Foy for the week beginning 28 March. It includes a return Eurotunnel with free FlexiPlus upgrade for £153 per person based on four sharing. Accommodation only is also available at a reduced price.

Sainte Foy has a great ski area of its own but also offers a lift ticket providing discounts at neighbouring resorts such as Val d'Isere, Tignes, la Rosiere, Les Arcs, and la Plagne - which has more than 1,000km of piste between them.

Peak Retreats also announced discounts into April with the price for a week in a two-bedroom apartment in Le Grand Bornand, which also includes a return Eurotunnel with free FlexiPlus upgrade reduced to £258 per person based on four sharing. Accommodation only is also available at a reduced price.

In the heart of the Aravis Massif between Annecy and Chamonix, Le Grand Bornand is a traditional Savoyard village. Most of its development as a ski resort has gone on up the road in neighbouring Le Grand Bornand Chinaillon while Le Grand Bornand itself has retained its character as a mountain farming community.

Life revolves around the traditional mid-week farmers market, alongside the Reblochon Market, first held in 1795. Situated at the entrance to the Bouchet valley, the ski area is accessed from the village via two gondolas.
