Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

I too would very much like to purchase a gondola - any details of where or who I can contact would be greatly appreciated. Swissie, if you could get details for me too that would be great!

johnnyh,

Here's their details (I believe)

Location: http://www.pagesjaunes.fr/pros/50214985 and their website http://www.bricetbroc.net/plan.php

Also there is a forum dedicated to this sort of thing (helps if your French is OK although I'm sure Google translate would suffice)

http://www.remontees-mecaniques.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=12629

Also in the news: http://www.ledauphine.com/haute-savoie/2011/08/30/l-incroyable-succes-de-la-vente-des-oeufs-des-gets-vendus-par-un-brocanteur-de-taninges

Judging by the newspaper article, it may be a little beyond your budget !

Wow, that went quickly. Where did you get it from? I'm building a games room in my garden at the moment in the theme of an alpine lodge and would love a bubble.

Thanks

Hi

Anyone ever seen where you might be able to buy a bubble from a dismantled lift? I am after one of the older style ones. I saw a pile of them at La Praz last winter, and Les Gets a couple of summers back but couldn't find out who to ask. They must go somewhere! We want one as a feature in our business.

If anyone has one behind their sofa, or in the shed I will collect wink

I have a very old one. Its in need of restoration. I'm looking for offers Very Happy

If anyone is still looking for a gondola to buy, I am looking to import a number from Europe in the next month or two. Please just drop me a message for information and to discuss. Multiple 'models' available, from the small 4 seater traditional ones to larger more recent models. Can deliver within the UK. Thanks!

Sorry, not been around on here for a while but yes @admin, is correct, Alpine Accessories is run by the people we bought our B&B from. Highly recommended and great to deal with. The link from @flangesax above is the correct one for them.
