 Poster: A snowHead
|
OK, in the spirit of giving how about we make a list of cracking deals to share around with fellow SnowHeads in these cash-strapped times? Both the price and why you like the place. I'll open with this one, which I think is pretty much untouchable at the moment:
Arc 2000 Aiguille Rouge
Half-board including a lift pass for around £500pp, depending on when you go. If you go 3 to a room then it's even less. That's frankly f*cking nuts! Currently on Crystal at ~£900pp.
The good: It's true ski-in ski out in my all-time favourite resort. I've been there maybe 5 times with kids because it has buffet food, meaning that even the fussiest little sh*t can find something to eat each and every day without complaining. Unlimited free wine with evening meal if you care about such things. Kids club included, but I've never used it so cannot comment on it.
The bad: Rooms are small. Baths are half size. Food is functional rather than outstanding.

Just thought I would do a price comparison
29 of Jan flying from Gatwick, Half Board at the L'Aiguille Rouge
Crystal ------- (easyjet flights) -------------------£942
DIY ---- £675 + £87 (easyjet) + £90 transfer = £852
Saving -----------------------------------------------£90
A saving, but not massive....

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

Don't forget that Crystal's price does not include a lift pass. That's another £290pp.

Sunweb always have great packages deals; often including accommodation, lift pass and flights. But as always, read the small print very carefully; and check the actual named accommodation reviews on Tripadvisor.

Lots of decent deals on Crystal (or there was months ago!) if you dont mind a short week. first Monday of January to the Saturday.
As xmas week with Crystal is Mon-Mon, New Year week Mon-Mon, so the short week Mon-Sat so they can get back to Sat-Sat for the rest of the season.

but it will include luggage... which I doubt the £87 flight does! & if you take your own ski stuff, it is much cheaper than than the £37 e/w that EJ charge
