 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hey everyone!
Just came back from the Grand Massif in Flaine with a few new skier friends and thrilled to say they loved it! Already planning a trip for next season off the back of it and wanted to ask if anyone knows of a Large Chalet, maybe on Airbnb etc that hosts 8-12 people with ski in ski out facilities. Looking for a nice one preferably, so we’re happy to spend abit!
Flexible on resorts within europe but preferably somewhere with really good skiing/views, don’t care much for the apres. Group will have a bunch of intermediates looking to go advanced and some beginners.
Only ever been to Flaine so my knowledge on all the other resorts in and around France/Switz/Austria is a bit limited! Anyone have any recommendations for a Private Chalet they stayed in for a similar sized group?  Thanks

What is your budget and are dates flexible? Ski in ski out in a premier league ski destination could cost a few arms and a few legs.

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

If you are flexible on dates and can go at sensible time avoiding French holidays I'd strongly recommended Gites de Bisanne. Few yards to blue piste. We're renting both Gites first week in April though that's really too late. Affordable, very well appointed. I'm on phone and can't do link. 73270 Villard sur Doron is postcode. I know the proprietors. You don't need a premier league destination. Les Saisies would be ideal if you can do sensible dates.

We’re happy to spend around 400 quid each, so with a party of 8, £3200, 10, £4000, etc. Not sure if we’d need to raise our budgets massively for what I’m looking for!

There was a company called Powder ‘n’ Shine in Reberty that had the perfect chalets in ski in/out positions. They ceased trading in lockdown so I don’t know who has the chalets now but I’d suggest looking for options in Reberty. It’s pat of Les Menuires in the Three Valleys and a perfect ski in/out location.

Thanks! I’ll check it out… We’re really flexible on dates and definitely can avoid the holidays. Probably would go late jan early march as I don’t want the same panic as this year checking the weather 10 times a day

Ooh Chalet Sapin looks really good, but does look to cost an arm and a leg might have to do a bit of price hunting

The larger chalet in Bisanne is costing us 1700 euros for first week in April plus extra for supply of linen and end of let cleaning.

I think Flaine is a great place to take a group as ski access is just so very good for all skill levels.
Similar in convenience but very different overall is Ste Foy Tarantaise, again with virtually peerless access for all skill levels, more intimate overall area, with very good early skills slopes right up to seriously challenging too.
https://www.holidaylettings.co.uk/sainte-foy-tarentaise/ as a indicator of whats available. The balance is helped for you and group by having very decent pass costs which help in overall price and allow a little more leaway on accommodation. A great place to stay overall.

Interhome used to be a good source of larger self catering chalets/ large apartments though you have to read the description to find out which ones are ski in ski out I don't think you can put it in as one of the search choices unless it has changed.
