Natives News 231	10 July 2009
Hi there, It might be the height of summer but there's just one thing on our minds this issue - a week today we'll be on the glacier in Tignes, taking part in the MetroSnow Team Dual Slalom as part of our Summer Weekender. Bring on the snow and sun! This year it promises to be bigger and better than ever before, and look forward to seeing many of you there. The Natives Team

** LOOKING FOR ACCOMMODATION FOR THE SEASON? **

Fancy doing a winter season and not working? Want to go out to the Alps and look for part time work? Looking for flatmates to split the costs or share a room? Maybe you have a job with a local company and need to sort your own accommodation?

Natives - the seasonal specialists - has teamed up with property owners across the Alps to offer more great prices with our accommodation finder service. We offer the option to rent your own apartment, or share with others.

Accommodation for the season can start from as little as £1000 per person for a shared apartment for five in Chamonix, while the average is more like £2000. Val d'Isere's the most expensive resort to rent in, while Les Arcs and Chamonix are two of the cheapest.

Whatever your needs are for the season, Natives Seasonal Lets can help - click here for more info and to make an enquiry.
