Simple question. Has anyone had a holiday with them and are they any good?
Thanks in advance for any replies.

Can't help, but that's an odd name for a chalet company. Do they have a sister company called Ski Nausea?

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

Never heard of them -- but they seem to be linked to Ski Famille which I have heard of

I am always a little doubtful about companies who don't pay much attention to their T&C's. It might suggest either that they are overstretched or a tiny operation.
Probably not as important as actually arranging accommodation, meals etc but Ski Vertigo / Ski Famille don't appear to have yet noticed that we have left the EU, and advise getting an EHIC prior to travel and that you register with the EU's dispute mechanism if you have a problem!

I bumped into a rep at Lyon last season. He confirmed that they are Ski Famille, and chose Vertigo for their expansion into Tignes. I think the marketing idea was to reinforce the selling point of altitude.

@chocksaway, seems it's more to offer something for older families and couples and leave the younger families with Ski Famille.

Vertigo Holidays Ltd is the parent company for Ski Famille Ltd. Ski Famille Ltd is the operating company (and ATOL holder) for the trading name of Ski Vertigo.
Yes, they are small, but the management team have been in the ski business for years and years.

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

Bumping this thread.
I see that Ski Vertigo are the same as Ski Famille, who seem to have a good rep on here and across other places.
Got my eye on a nice chalet in Val with them, so wondering if anyone has actually stayed with them yet and got any feedback?
