Best Group Short Trip Ski firms in France, Italy or Austria

A snowHead

I'm representing a group of 8/10 and wondering who the best group ski travel - semi luxury, not budget but not Russian billionaire standard either please! The following list is from the helpful sites list above but it is from 2011 so surely out of date???

Anyone recommend any specific firms or firms not listed?

thanks and love to all

@lazyskier, I would expect very, very dated.

Organise yourself. Tell your chums where and when you’re going. Let them sort themselves out.

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

Or run away and let someone else organise it. For self organisation set resort, timing and get an accomodation quote. Make it clear to everyone that if they are in they are in and on the hook for accomodation costs then when you've got the commitment deposit book accomodation. Let people sort their own flights, ski lessons, rental etc - maybe provide links. Don't worry about lift passes until you're there and you see how many survive the initial plan.

Problem with contracting it to a 3rd party provider is they will inevitably charge more and some moaners won't be able to use Avios or have their special ("oh I have to be back 3 hrs earlier") requests taken into account.

You need to Login to know who's really who.

@lazyskier, Alpine Answers great travel agent, will take the hassle out of organising it and get you decent accommodation https://www.alpineanswers.co.uk

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Thanks for the responses. Think I’ll give Alpine a go!

You'll need to Register first of course.

Totally agree with radar on Alpineanswers have used them numerous times not the cheapest but good value.
What ever you do avoid Alpine Elements like the plague,rubbish accomodation,cheap but ?

Then you can post your own questions or snow reports...

do it yourself.
I have booked a long weekend in January to La clusaz leaving Friday morning and coming back on Tuesday for 6 of us (3 couples)

AirBnB 12 person chalet (has 3x double bedrooms) flights from stansted to geneva private transfers and a hotel the night before and 3 days lift pass for £450 per person. and all together took me about 2 hours to put everything together just sent a message around saying send me £500 each and i will sort it all out. The remaining money i have will fill the fridge with food and drink and maybe sort an evening meal also
