 Poster: A snowHead
|
I wanted to post this early enough that people have time to think about it before the cutoff date. Read on, even if you don't think you ski enough to justify a season pass.
Until 10th Dec the Grand-Massif season ski pass (covering Flaine, Les Carroz, Morillon, Samoens, Sixt) is €465 plus an optional €30 for on-mountain insurance = €495 for the season.
(After that it is €930 + €41)
A 6 day ski pass for Grand-Massif is €225 + insurance of €18 = €243
Extra days are €38 + €3 insurance = €41.
That means that 2 X 6 day passes cost €486, only €9 less than a season pass. On your 13th day of skiing in Grand-Massif, the season pass has more than paid for itself.

Further to that (in the past). You also get "awayday" passes to other ski areas, some retailers provide discounts to season pass holders too and the pass also covers some summer activites.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

No Retailer discounts for this winter, but 6 awaydays and some summer activity discounts. Also the option to pay an extra 30 Euros to cover some discount (or Free) summer Grand Massif uplift.

My original post was from last season, but the figures are similar this season and just as compelling.
The thing that has changed for this season, is that they will post your first pass and awayday tickets to you, rather than you having to pick them up in resort, which saves queuing on the first trip. And if you already have the pass, they will post the awaydays.

That is an amazing deal - So wish that Meribel or 3V did something similar. Last year they only gave a discount if you actually live in resort all year.

I walked into the lift office on Sunday and came out with them in my hand!

That is a great deal - probably one of the best going. My Espace Diamant pass cost me usefully less, but the GM has 73km more pistes, and goes higher - though it also goes lower, not so good. That long piste down to Sixt has always been closed when I've skied in Flaine.

Does the Flaine pass include any days in Chamonix? The website is unclear, and just says that there are "special conditions" relating to Chamonix.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

We did that run last year. Nice, but so many flat bits.
