 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
Going to montgenevre, Alp du huez and a couple of other resorts for a couple of weeks with my 14 year old daughter. Any recommendations for off piste instruction? Staying in LE bourg for first three days and thought of ADH , chamerrouse and maybe la Grave or Les 2 Alp then montgenevre for a week then last couple of days are still open to choose. Thoughts and recommendations would be very helpful. My 14 year old loves messing around off piste more than on ( as I do) and we feel the need to progress and move further away from piste as we have in the past but would like some good instruction . Cheers

Speak to A peak in Montgenevre. We've used them several times over the past 7 years including for off piste sessions for my two boys when they were 14 and 16. I can't recommend them highly enough.
I'd suggest you email before you go and let them know exactly what you're looking for

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

Thanks chaps, I have been in touch with Apeak and had booked in 2 half day sessions 3 & 3/4 hrs for us two. Price came to £450.00 which I thought was a tad on the dear side, which is why I asked on here.
What do you think for that regarding cost.?
I have spoken with bureau of guides of la grave and there cost seemed a lot better up to 4 people on a full day £340 or join a group for £90 each .
We really want to do it so if you think the cost is the norm then I’ll just have to remortgage 🤙🏽😄

@bigtoe, is that £ or €? If € you wouldn't get anything cheaper here I don't think. For a private lesson for 2 here ESS charge 60€/hour.

@Claude B, hi yes the euro, I'm just thinking its 1 euro roughly for the GBP ( well less as I found at stanstead 200 euro cost 219 GBP through the cash dispenser 😧😧😧😧) so the price is correct so I'll now have confidence to book. Out of interest if the lesson cannot go ahead due to weather or off piste too crudy what happens then ?
Thanks for the advise

I think the price from A-Peak is fair enough and is for a group of up to 6 skiers. It seems dear as there are just 2 of you, but it woks out at €60 an hour.
The guys at A-Peak are great and will take you to the best places in the domain depending on conditions.
Same goes for La Grave. It's the going rate.

@volfy, yes as long as it’s the going rate I’m happy with it. I have now booked and I’m sure we won’t regret it😄
