Oakhall is a travel tour operation that takes you to many tour destinations. They are based in the UK. They are Christian based and do have prayer and worship meetings on the tour. BUT you don't have to attend if you don't want to. They also do CHEAP holidays. which made us decide to travel with them.

So a group of us, some Christian and others not so Christian went with Oakhall for a ski trip in Switzerland. Oakhall has their own tour buses but most oof wanted to fly and they did not seem to mind this.

The hostel was based in Saas Grund. We either went to go ski at Saas Grund or Saas Fee nearby. There was a 3rd place if both places were shut down due to bad weather.

Oakhall employed their own ski instructors and this made it even cheaper to be taught how to ski/snowboard whichever you prefered.

The accomodation was based on Hostel form, but I was priviledged to share a room with a friend. Unfortunately no mixed sexes allowed to sleep in the room, unless you are married!! But hey, a cheap ski holiday, it was worth it.

The only extra thing that you had to do to make the holiday cheaper, was to set breakfast tables and clear as well as dinner once during your stay. And this didn't take long.

My flights, accomodation, ski pass, ski instructor, hire of gear and other expenses came to approx £500. Not bad for 6 days skiing, meals, tuition and other restuarant and dare I say it drinking!!
