They tend to cover the cost of the accomodation (which can be the biggest expense when you stay in this country). Another big cost is the food, which can be reduced by taking at least some food with you.

Then you can cut costs further by staying in the chalet/caravan and only doing things that are free or cheap (which *is* possible if you look). The only cost you can't cut really is the cost of getting to/from the place.

Now, while doing all that wouldn't necessarily produce the sort of holiay I would want, it can be done..
