 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all,
Am looking at possibly going to Tignes Val Claret in Oxbridge Varsity week- has anyone been over there whilst it has been going on, and if so, is it best avoided for a couple who are there for a weeks worth of beginner lessons and a bit of chillout?
Chris

papeman,
Unless you get invited to their 'closed' parties you probably will not notice them

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

I don`t know Tignes but I have been in other resorts during Uni weeks and apart from the fact that this last time my sons met people they knew on odd bits of piste, and drove off to meet some to ski with on occasions, I can`t say I really noticed them. It may depend on where the students are staying in comparison to where you are staying, late night partying and lift queue wise in particular.

The Varsity is a very large gathering, it won't affect the pistes but they do obviously group together in ways that such a number of independent holiday makers wouldn't. I'd say if you have problems it will be more in the evenings getting into the bars and restaurants they have block booked.
When a rep for students I never worked the Varsity itself, but my most boring group ever was an Oxbridge college out for a week on their own. They preferred to stay in cooking for each other and chatting than go out doing the usual student nonsense. I doubt the other building residents even noticed they were there.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

They're actually quite easy to spot on nights out when it's -20C. They will be the ones staggering between bars in jeans and T-shirts or pyjamas....
