 Poster: A snowHead
|
In Val Cenis, for 6 people in an apartment that sleeps 8. Including return travel (figuring £750 for fuel, toll and ferry), lift passes (inc deposit) and superior ski/board hire.
The area isn't huge, but Village is at 1400m and highest run starts at 2400m, so cross fingers we should be OK for 24th jan.
Company called Snowtrex (.co.uk) has anyone used them before? Seem to be a german company.
They are already offering some good discounts for earlier weeks - £30 a head less than I paid for departures 10th Jan.
I've looked at reviews online for both the resort and the apartment we're in and can only find positive comments.
We're taking the kids with us this time. Daughter's boyfriend is an experienced boarder, daughter, son, and his fiance have never been before but they're all natural athletes so will have no trouble.
Can't wait!

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Used them in April when we went to Chamrousse - got lucky with great conditions, but wouldn't hesitate to recommend the company. Pretty basic stuff, but if it gets you to the snow, it doesn't matter.
No doubt will use them again for the comming season - VC was somewhere I was considering.

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

IMT, I did a forum search on here for VC. It seems to have a good reputation.
I actually know the resort as it's where I choose to cross the border when driving to Italy each year, and it's a nice place to stretch the legs and have a coffee after 10hrs driving. The road that goes from the village up and over the pass is turned into a piste in the winter - it'll be fun skiing that.
We checked the apartments when we went through last month. Ski in and out, great location close to the 6 seater.
Glad you found Snowtrex to be satisfactory, with prices like these I'll be back if this year goes well.

I don't know if you found this recent thread about Val Cenis. I put in some info that might be of use.

snowball, I did, and it was very useful, thanks! Some very nice pictures....although mrs Spurs and me are most definately not off piste skiers - unless we take a very wrong turn, of course

Certainly good prices, IIRC, we paid something crazy like £230 each for flights, transfers, accom, ski hire and lift pass!
Couldn't afford not to go at that price.
Cheers for the VC info both of you.
