 Poster: A snowHead
|
@j b, to be more sensible*, and with apologies to the afflicted.
St Gervais/Les Houches had a spat with the CdMB over who knows what resulting in Les Houches being removed from the Mont Blanc Unlimited area for a year (or two). Which obviously made the Les Houches shareholders ̶v̶e̶r̶y̶ ̶h̶a̶p̶p̶y̶ even grumpier. T
here have been rumour for long times of a link but that's realistically never going to happen and as Evasion is on MBU I'm not sure I see the commercial value to anyone to do more?
* this is all reconstructed from distant wine fogged memories and very open to correction, thank you.

Tirol Snow Card (AUT): €1050 |
This becomes cheaper if you're a local resident I believe. I'll confirm the amount on Sunday when I have the first ski of my 23/24 season. |
€840 for a local, even more of a bargain

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

I think that is true from the Chamonix valley perspective. But MBU isn't available as an upgrade on the Evasion pass, and it is for those in St Gervais itself that a pass that would cover skiing in Les Houches via the Tramway would be such a welcome benefit. (Obviously a new physical link isn't a realistic option).
It is odd that Les Houches has such a high sense of its status as a stand-alone ski area.

@robs1, my lot have just renewed our Mont Blanc Unlimited annual passes yet again. It may well have gone up by about 7% but for the sheer range and quality of uplift and available terrain we could not be happier. It also means that we can purchase the St Bernard ANNUAL pass (Champex, Vicheres ans Le Fouly) for about £65 further.
Happy days.

We're booked in for Serre Chevalier for half-term and I have to say I'm a bit disappointed with the lift prices. The main problem is child prices only apply up to age 11, also their family discounts are a bit stingy (63 Euros for a family of 4). With a family of 4 all with kids 12 years or older it's 1200 Euros - same as a 3V pass but with less modern lift infrastructure (although improved a lot in recent years).
We can only hope not too many Parisians take the trouble to venture down to Serre Che so we get our value for money from it being less busy than the more famous northern resorts. I know we get the option to ski a day in other resorts as well but we'll have to see how our younger week 2 skiers are getting on before deciding to take a day out of ski school.

As are you your spelling.  |
OT, but -ize has a perfectly British pedigree, & has always been favoured by the Oxford English Dictionary. It's only recently (particularly with the use of MS Word's spellcheck) that the erroneous view has set in that -ise is somehow more authentically British.
