 Poster: A snowHead
|
Having now returned from the trip I organised for a group of 25, most of the participents want to go again next year and want me to organise it - because this years' went so well.
In all honesty it was a success because we picked up cheap flights and sourced a private coach transfer company that were very efficient. Couple this to a two bedroom apartment rate of around 1200 euro's at half term (for large well appointed apartments, pools, spa's, ski in/out etc.) and a good ski area - then it was easy to impress.
But how can I follow that? If I double the price, it's easy, but I wondered if there were any apartments of a similar standard - and price - elsewhere.
Cheers.
Marc

marc gledhill, is that price really for a two bedroom place (sleeping 6) - 1200 euros in UK half term week? - very good deal given the public prices here (Excel spreadsheet I'm afraid and "pièces" is rooms so two pièces is one bedroom/three pièces is two bedroom)

Bungle, yep, three piece clubs IIRC. The offers I got beat the official price by quite a lot. I did buy seven of them though.

marc gledhill, there are MGM apartments in La Rosiere that are of a very high standard - Les Cimes Blanches and you'll have the advantage of seeing the sun before 11.00 and after 4.00 pm.

We have just returned from Les Cimes Blanches over half term cost was £1300 for a two bedroom apartment. They were very good with ski in ski out location. The only slight problem was although the apartments were finished to a very high standard the rest of the complex needed finishing so a few teething problems which they will no doubt of sorted out by next year.

I'd say that the MGM properties generally aren't quite as well specified at the facilities at Arc 1950.

i think there are large chalets you can hire in altiport area of alpe d'huez and as there are a cluster of chalets that might be another option
