 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
Hi all. I'm looking to repeat my annual road trip to the French Alps and need some company to lighten the costs. Done this several times last few years to La Plagne / Les Arc, 3 valleys, Valloire, Valfrejus, Alp Dhez etc as and it usually costs under £600 each all in inclusive of lift pass with 4 of us in the car. Can manage up to 4 of us in the car with a roof box on there is just enough room for general luggage and ski gear as long as your not looking to take more than 1 pair of skis each. The more there are the cheaper both the transport and accomodation costs will be but if it was just 2 of us I still expect to manage it for around £750 and obviously more room in the car for gear. Exact location is open to negotiation ,(Usually ends up being French Alps and more often than not Mauriene valley area) it's definitely going to be self catering to keep the cost down. Traveling on Friday 3rd Jan to Dover from the north west and happy to pick up anywhere reasonable on the way or meet at Dover. Everything else is open to discussion apart from the dates as im a shift worker so its got to be that week. I'm a fairly advanced skier (Now in my 50's but in my head im still 25!) but happy to ski with all abilities on or off piste. Over several road trips i have had the pleasure to meet some extremely friendly and interesting people through Snowheads and cant wait to do it all again so get in touch if your interested. More than happy to tag along on someone elses trip if its on these dates so drop me a line.

As I mentioned on our WhatsApp thread from our La Plagne 2023 trip, I'm looking to call in a favour at work to push back my remaining one week of holiday entitlement for 2024 into the New Year, but annoyingly I'm meeting with a little resistance!!

Hi @rolyyyyyyy, do you still have a space for this trip? I'm early 60s, have driven out to French Alps quite a few times, ski on/off piste, speak French, live South Lakes.

Just as an aside @bims, do you ever ski Glencoe or Nevis when the conditions are perfect? Had a few last minute trips over the years when the conditions are perfect but always struggle for company and as your south lakes and possibly retired thought it might be worth a shout out.

Yes sure - not retired but I'm able to get away, and last couple of times I've driven all the way up and back on my own, so would be great to link up!

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

I'm a shift worker so midweek works best all round for me. Will be keeping an eye on the forecast and conditions and will pm you if it's looking promising. Always good to share the cost and have some company as well.

You know it makes sense.

We are all booked as a four, travelling together on Friday and getting to Les Arcs on Saturday morning. Could meet up during the week though as we are just across the valley via the Vanoise Express.
