Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Singlesport is going to St Christoph (st Anton) 19 December for a week. We have advanced skiers your age.

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

Hi Ian,
I booked Christmas week in Chamonix, staying at UCPA. Check out my post " Chamonix - Christmas week at UCPA - looking for skiing companions". Want to join me? It's a budget option, but very good value for money, and best option to improve your skiing via lessons....
Best wishes,
Sol.

Hi sol
This sounds very fitting!
Don't think there are spaces left for chgamonux though. Have you heard of any more openings there?
Thanks
Ian

Did you manage to book anything? I'm 30 year old bloke also looking for a cheap week between the 19th Dec and 3rd Jan. Would probably consider myself an early intermediate, reasonably happy on most reds and look to ski all day.
Have looked at the UCPA site but (possibly down to using Chrome or my internet connection) am finding it a pain to navigate.

@SnoodyMcFlude, try Action Outdoors' site

You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

@SnoodyMcFlude, google Chalet Chardons for their website. Chilled out place in Tignes Brev. Easy access to equipment, the chair lift and a sports bar

@pam w, Ideal, thanks. Have had a look and definitely an option if I a)have enough money and b) can't convince a mate to join me (seems there are plenty of 2 for 1 lift pass deals about which make some of the package options look startling value)
@1969jma, Thanks looks like a decent deal, but still comes in a bit more than some of the other options that I've seen, e.g the Action Outdoors is about £650 all in but includes lessons (which I've never actually had)

650 all in but you have to book your own transport.
Have gone for the val D'isere new year's week and getting the bus. Anyone else also going there with ucpa that week?

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

Well, you need to actually book the flights, but I've made an allowance for that in the price. £443 basic, plus £50 transfer that they put on, plus £150 for flights (more than enough from my quick look on Skyscanner earlier).

@SnoodyMcFlude, beware the cost of transfers. I think UCPA do some but when my daughter and boyfriend went they travelled by coach from London as it was much cheaper.

You know it makes sense.

Thanks for the heads up. The transfer thing seems straightforward enough though:
| Quote: |
Geneva Shared Transfer
Shared transfer from Geneva Airport direct to Chamonix.
To meet our standard transfer you must book your flight to match:
Arrival in Geneva between 07:00 and 21:55
Departure from Geneva between 09:30 and 22:00
If your flight times are outside these limits we may need to charge a little extra for you to useour transfer partner. Or you would be free to book your transfer yourself with another transfer company.
Normal journey time around 1hr15. We will send you a link a few weeks before your trip for you to enter your flight details. We schedule minibuses to pick you up - we plan to have a maximum wait of 1 hr for pickups, very often it is much less. |
They also do a coach from London for £165...but I'll happily pay the extra to avoid coaches, being 6ft and 17st makes them a bit of an uncomfortable prospect, even EasyJet are better!!
