Poster: A snowHead
|
Time Out, the London magazine, just tipped me off about this remarkably cheap deal. It's for the tail end of the season, which is relatively early this winter due to Easter coming early. It's described as a hotel, but seems to be an apartment-based place, and the price is based on filling a 4-bed flat:

I've no financial interest in this at all but I happen to know Chamrousse. It's where Jean-Claude Killy won his 3 gold medals at the 1968 Winter Olympics, as it is the satellite ski resort of Grenoble. It's quite a small resort with nice mellow runs in the trees, and some more testing pitches.

David Goldsmith, Even if you had commercial interest in it, it would still be an amazing deal. Thanks for the tip off!

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

A note of warning - Chamrousse lifts AND this appt were run by Transmontagne. They have gone bust, and I am not sure about who (if anyone) is running the show - I know the Chamrousse owners are all going bonkers because they arent being paid rent - Would be a bit of a bummer if the lifts arent working!!

I'm a little disappointed that flights, transfers and ski hire aren't included.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Sorry, Swiller, I'll organise a whip-round. Good to know that you don't want to eat - this'll save us a few bob.

I doubt if insurance is covered either!

Insurance is 81p. There are one or two exclusion clauses.

David Goldsmith, you're raking it in on this little deal aren't you? Is there a fondue night and is it included?

Food is not included - I thought I'd made that clear.
Some guests leave a few left-overs, so whatever the staff don't take home you're welcome to enjoy.
