Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi everyone,
It's my first post here after a long long time , however I'll do my best to make it a beginning of good and long relationship with whole SnowHeads society
We have 8 people apartment booked in Reberty district of Les Menuires on dates January 7-14. Because of some weird reasons couple of our friends had to resign, and thanks to that I can offer here two available places.
First - what's included in basic price:
Sat to Sat accommodation in Les Chalets du Soleil, http://www.chaletsdusoleil.com/index_gb.cfm . I have been there in last season and honestly, that's the place I liked most from all I have visited by now. Very spacious an comfortable apartment with 3 double bedrooms ( 2 of them with ensuite), wifi, balcony, fully equipped kitchen, fireplace, locked skis storage with boot dryers, direct access onto slopes. There are also buses connecting REberty with Les Menuires centre until 11PM or so. We're happy to give one of them bedrooms if there is a couple joining us.
Whole 3 Valleys skipass for six days (starting Sunday, ending Friday).
Price is £315 per person.
We have also 2 spaces in my car available - big and comfy estate with roof box. The route starts from Stourbridge -> Birmingham -> M40 or M6 an M1 -> London -> Dover -> 3 Valleys. No problem with collecting anybody on the way.
Estimated cost per person for transport is £100.
Food is up to you, some prefer eating outside, others take all ingredients from home and do the cooking on the spot. Apartment is located so close to lifts that you can even have your lunch there if you prefer to. I personally prefer having just breakfast in apartment and maybe 1 or 2 dinners in whole trip, rest of them I have in my favourite Plan Bouchet restaurant in Orelle Valley. Just one request - on the way back please pack at least twice all french cheese
If you would like to meet and discuss the matter first (see if I'm real and not a fraud), no problem, just I work pretty long hours (from 7am, finishing 6 or 6:30 PM), so any day later in the evening is fine for me. Weekends also ok, just please PM me first.
There are 4 skiers and 2 snowboarders going, 4 guys and 2 ladies, age 27-42 (more less )
I'm maybe not a best skier but trying to improve something in my skills every year, with focus on off piste. If luckily somebody who would join us is offpiste maniac as well, I'll be more than happy to attack some powder together.

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

@IanG, Hi Ian, I'm really interested in this. Is there still a place available? I live up near Leeds but could get a lift or the train down to somewhere on your route. FYI I am a 33 year old intermediate skier.
Cheers
Chris

Very good price this. How much is a 3V lift pass these days...somewhere north of £250?
Did you get some kind of accommodation/lift pass combo?

Well, last year I was there with a really big group and we paid quite similar amount, or even less (stronger £), however I didn't book directly. I'm just guessing that second week of January is kind of gap between Christmas and New Year peak prices and winter holidays later in end of January/Feb. Prices at that time are rather similar to beginning and end of season than to middle of winter, sth. like freeski in Italy. Have a look at sites where they offer such deals, like snowtrex etc. it's quite noticeable trend.

It's definitely one of the cheapest weeks.
In fact the website says that there is an additional discount on lift passes for that week, but no mention of exactly how much they are.
I suppose I could work out based on €345 X 8 - cost of apartment and then divide by 8.
Cracking deal either way.

just to be 100% accurate, sterling amount is (was) correct, but exact euro amount is 366. As it shows on my reservation confirmation 2929.5 euro divided by 8 is 366 not 345, sorry for mistake.

Hi guys,
We've got full team in our apartment now, however we've got one free space in car going from Bham to Les Menuires, Val Thorens or St. Martin de Belleville and back. Other valleys are bit to far, but we can drop you in Moutiers so you can catch something from there. There's two of us going to France and 3 returning, but car is really big + roof box, so we're planning to have comfortable journey. Some sightseeing on the way back may be considered
Anybody in need of a lift? We can collect you everywhere close to route, West Midlands,Oxford, London, Kent etc. Cost is £100.
We're planning to leave Bham around 8-9 PM, make it on Dover ferry around midnight and then straight to 3 Valleys.
Return trip - 10-11am leave, night or early morning ferry, depending on preferences.
Ian
