 Poster: A snowHead
|
As per title?
We're off to the Grand Massif for much of the season so obviously buying a season pass. Looking on the site for last year the best prices were available if you bought before the 10th Dec but we hadn't planned on being there until the 20th.
Does anyone know if you physically have go out there so they can take your picture when you buy or could I send a digital pic?
I know I've plenty of time as they aren't even on sale yet but if I do have to go in November the flights are much cheaper if I book them now.

897sma, don't know about the GM specifically but lots of resorts do online purchase - you can send a digital photo. Going out there would eat up a lot of your savings!

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

I'd say if you could buy it online last year you will be able to buy it online this year when it becomes available.

I don't know when the Grand Massif one becomes available but the Paradiski one becomes available sometime in October so I'd just keep checking the website.
If you add Grand Massif to the title I'm sure somebody who knows the area will let you know when and how to buy them.

Thanks Pam. In my mind, using man maths, the money spent to save a few quid didn't count somehow

897sma, yes you can. Buy as early as you can. Something like a 50% discount

GM pass can be purchased online and if bought by around the 10th Dec you get the adult pass for about €429 (last year). Kids pass under 18 was €250 IIRC and an absolute bargain as weekly kids are under 14 or maybe 16. They will send it to you but you can collect at your chosen resort which is what we do as I think you have to get it verified in resort anyway and our old cards will be reprinted with the new season date. The postal confirmation comes through pretty quick but collecting from resort prevents it from being lost. Just take your electronic and hard copy gubbins with you when you collect. Insurance is cheaper too, think it was €29 for the season last year. Expect Carroz will have a better memory than me but I'm not far off.

As Basil says GM season pass can be bought online (upload your picture as part of the process) and collected in resort when you arrive (if you have an existing pass from last year it should have an "Internet code" on it which you will need to quote, as well as registering yourself with password, then get old card verified and authenticated on arrival). 14/15 pass is 475 Euro if bought before the deadline (approx. 10th Dec). Options to add Insurance at approx. 30 Euro and summer lift access at another approx. 30 Euro will be offered. The season pass deal also includes (usually) 3 x 1 day passes that can be taken at any of about 25 Haute Savoie resorts (including using them for "Chamonix Unlimited at 50% off), day pass at Verbier and Les Deux Alpes as well as a few local activity discounts. I will be re-newing mine again soon and looking forward to another season in Les Carroz already!

skier52 & Basil thanks. It was the log-in element on the page that made me wonder if online purchase was for renewals only so thanks for clarifying.

Anyone know if there is a discount for a Paradiski season pass? Hoping to do three weeks this year so might be worth trying to get a season pass if possible

chaletgirl, looking at http://www.lesarcsnet.com/lifts/ski/prices it appears to come out at 999.00 euros for Paradiski Unlimited Buy Online - nice round sum that is. No mention of any discount for buying early.

chaletgirl, Discount website opens in October until first week of December for season passes usually. For La Plagne its www.edenski.fr Currently its showing last seasons prices. The la Plagne pass breaks even in 2.5 weeks so you will need to check carefully, for best value!
