Poster: A snowHead
|
We're off to Chamonix in a few weeks time & intend to ski all the different areas - so the MBU pass looked like the way to go. However, from what I can see, the MBU pass (when used at Les Houches) will only give access to one gondola & 'some' of the runs!
Can anyone help shed some light on this please?
Thanks!

Last season Les houches had its own lift pass which did not include the rest of the 'area'.
I dont think that has changed.
Brightside, have you skied there before?
I think its a smashing little ski area. We did 4 days there in Feb and realy enjoyed it.

Last March we were able to use all the lifts at Les Houches on the Mount Blanc. However, the website here says:

**Due to on-going internal disagreements within the Les Houches ski domain, the Compagnie du Mont Blanc is unable to offer the entire Les Houches ski area as part of the Mont Blanc Unlimited pass for winter 2008/09. However, holders of the MBU pass will still be able to use the Prarion Gondola and the pistes accessed by this lift.**

Brightside, was there a couple of weeks ago and can confirm the situation is as kamikaze, says. MBU pass will get you up Prarion bubble but that is all and is pretty pointless. Pain in the chuff but there's nowt you can do about it I'm afraid.

NOTICE FOR THE ATTENTION OF
MONT-BLANC UNLIMITED PASS HOLDERS
Les Houches local council during its session of the 30th October 2008,
deliberation N°08.255, has voted against the possibility of the Mont-
Blanc Unlimited pass being valid solely on the Prarion gondola.
As a result, the Compagnie du Mont-Blanc & its subsidiary in Les
Houches “LH-SG” no longer have the possibility of proposing a pass
valid solely on this installation.
We invite our clients to visit the cash-desks of the Prarion gondola
where an alternative solution will be proposed.

Its a great situation for those that hate the way everyone else in the valley descends on LH when the weather is bad and other stations are not open !!!

Thanks folks.
No doubt the 'alternative solution' will be to buy a separate lift pass!
Not a great situation but it looks like we'll have to stump up extra if we want to ski there.
I skied the area a few years ago & want to take my wife there this year as it's such a smashing wee area. I see that Courmayer is on the MBU pass - any nice treelined skiing there?
