Yes, has to be one of the best deals on offer and has caused a right to do in the smoke filled rooms of other ski resort's management meetings. They've had advertising all over the local towns like Grenoble and Chambery too. Just hope its not too crowded  .

Oooh ta davidof.
I'm planning 4-6 weeks in Chamonix from the end of March. I still don't know that much about skiing the area - will be there for some climbing so figured I should stay to ski until the snow runs out. Do you think the Chamonix Le Pass would suffice or should I opt for the full monty Mont Blanc Unlimited?

Ray Zorro, How would you know?

I heard that Valloire is complete rubbish, even at that price, I strongly suggest nobody goes there, especially during half term week.

Good to see that basic economics and a little bit of competition is catching on in the Alps, as the week long package punters decline, resorts are well advised to do a bit more to pull in the casuals & locals who aren't necessarily fixed on a particular place a long time in advance. Hard to see how they recoup the cash if they don't own the ski hire/on mountain restos etc though.

No.
Courchevel is not a CdA company, therefore holiski won't cover that resort.

The discount period for the Chamonix lift passes has been extended to 30 November - so still time to get yours!

Do Courchevel ever do liftpass offers?

You know it makes sense.

not really no, they do a premiere neige price but even that is expensive. I remember a guy from the national TV news (TF1) rolling up with a camera man for the opening day a few years back. Both were in "city" wear and explained to the lift office woman that they wanted to take the lift up to the Saulire to take some footage for the 8pm bulletin.
"fine, no problem" said the LP woman, "that will be 50 euros please"
"No I don't think you understand" stammered the reporter
"Yes I do pefectly, you want to use our lifts, that will be two "walkers" passes"
They asked to speak to the head of the tourist office or ski lifts
"they are at lunch, until 2pm, which is where I'm going now", explained the LP chick.

The offer seems to be for the 10th Jan, the day we arrive for a week so €7 for 1/2 a day on the slopes seems like good value if we make it

Yes but it takes 3 hours to drive up the hill to La Rosiere from BSM, so you probably wont  |
Nah, takes about 15 minutes to drive to the little car park next to the Ecudets chairlift.

I'd say a little more than 15 minutes but a lot less than three hours. That lift pass sounds like a really good argument for getting up there early.
