Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi
To those in the PdS know, a Q about pricing. After much umm-ing and ahh-ing, we're going to PdS in January for 2 weeks at the Les Gets end. We're driving, so can get abour the other resorts if the Mont Chery end makes transits too long.
My Q: would the different PdS resorts have differing pricing for a whole Portes des Soleil ski pass? It seems odd, but that's what we seem to be finding. If the answer is 'yes, they do that', then obvs we'll buy the cheapest. But it seems odd...
13 day old git price on the Morzine page, E450; and E383 on the Les Gets page. WTHIH?

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

The Les Gets site offers an early bird discount of 15% if you book before the 15th Nov, which would account for the difference.
I should imagine after that the prices will align.
Can I ask what you mean by the Mont Chery end also? Getting to Mt Chery lifts from the main Chavannes lift is a doddle. You can walk it in about 5 mins or there is land train that runs all day long. Did you mean the transit from Morzine to super Morzine?

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

@Timmycb5, Your answer makes sense, Ta.
Mont Chery end: we're ABnB-ing near l'Encrenaz, and starting the day going up the Chery-Nord chair, then down off the top of Mont Chery to Les Gets. via the Chamois red. Hope that makes sense.

@Charliegolf, I get €383 on the ski-morzine and SERMA (Avoriaz) sites. I think the 15% discount applies across all the resorts.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@Charliegolf, have a look at the Black Friday offer (6 days for the price of 3) for selected dates in January. It might not work out given the length of your trip and the senior element, but worth checking!
There are also Saturday and weekend discounts for Morzine / Les Gets if you need to "fill the gap" between two sets of Black Friday passes.

@Charliegolf, Ah yes that makes sense. That red is a nice run down. IIRC you need to ski across a road down near the bottom, but hopefully in January that should be ok, and won’t destroy your skis! The land train goes round and round all day long and you should be waiting very long to get to the main Chavannes lifts.
On the days you’re planning on going beyond the Les Gets lift area, you will probably struggle to get back in time to get the TC Chery and TA pointe back to the top of Mt Chery, so you might be better off driving to Morzine, or at the very least round to car parks in the centre of Les Gets.

@Timmycb5, Yep, I get the fact we are 'on one edge' of the main area, and am happy to drive to other stations. But we got the accom we wanted over there.

You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

@Charliegolf, I’m sure you will love the skiing on MC too. There’s a reason that all the locals ski there instead of the main LG/MZ area
