 Poster: A snowHead
|
What one should i go for out of the following:
Alpe d'Huez £399 flights and accom (self-cater)
or full board: £500
Serr Chev £399 - Self cater.
Flaine - £309 - self cater
Val d'isere - £339 - Self cater.
Val Thorens - £315 - full board.
Also going to get a 'ski-pack' with 6 days tuiton, equip hire and local ski pass (about £215)
I am really set on Val Thorens, the whole thing works out @£560 with insurance. That includes EVERYTHING!
The only thing i am bothered about it the long trip/transfer.
Transfer time is 4hrs! so it will probably work out about 7hrs journey time and I hate flying! lol.
Like i said i'm pretty set on Thorens, any ideas? last min tips?
Many Thanks,
M

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

They're all good, draw straws  For me, I'd go to Val D'Isere or Flaine. Flaine will have the shortest transfer if that's a priority.

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

i suppose the upgrade to the fab snowtrain would be too expensive (if you want to cut your transfer times and avoid flying).

Only 1 choice there- Val Thorens - Full Board. Cant see why anyone would even consider the rest at those prices!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Although i've been to Alpe D'huez many times and Val Thorens only once, i'd defo choose Val Thorens ... huge area and the snow was excellent - looks a good price too. We paid about £700 all in for a chalet in March last year.

mbwest, they're the best skiing on the planet VT has some great terrain but some of the pistes tend to motorways. But they're all good stations and good snow records.
VT and Flaine lack Alpine charm, SC has some and the others lie somewhere between.

mbwest, Val Thorens, great price, and plenty of gentle slopes surrounding the resort, perfect for the first few days for both of you
