 Poster: A snowHead
|
Howdy,
I have viewed tignes.co.uk who gives me a break down on the costs but cannot find a link to buy them?
I also went across to tignes.net and saw a booking section, it linked me to another site which didn't seem to offer me the passes but some form of card for 10Euro's?
Any ideas?

You can always just buy them when there. There are a number of locations throughout the resort. Your accommodation might also be able to get your passes for you. Did that last year and got a 15euro discount. As for buying them online now, had the same trouble with tignes.net website for ski pass in April. I want to buy mine now but its a terrible website to navigate

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

I bought my pass on-line last year using www.skipass-tignes.com and intended recharging it on-line before returning to Tignes in December. A few weeks before departure I received a letter offering a discount of 42 Euro for this year. Entered the code shown on the letter to receive the discount and it all worked perfectly. I think it's a great system.

^ that's the site I found.
I don't understand it?
do you have to buy a card for 10Euro to be able to buy the ski pass?
to be fair a little confused, you pay 10 Euro, to pay 190 Euro for a ski pass, so why not just charge 200euro for the ski pass?
Or am i missing the point?!
Cheers

xxtokerxx, You normally have to pay for the card with hands free systems which you get back if you return the card at the end. Normally less than that though I thought.

xxtokerxx, The 10 euro card gives you 5% discount off the price of the pass.

Last year I was given (what I am certain was) a disposable ski pass for my week.

I looked back at the email I received when I bought the pass, the 10 Euro must be a deposit of sorts. The following year I got 42 Euro discount so, it worked out well for me; I paid 180 for a seven day pass including the insurance.

There's no deposit on Tignes passes, they're disposable.

xxtokerxx,
It's probably very similar to the Val D'Isere system (the 2 ski areas are linked). This is how the the Val D'Isere system works.
1) You can buy a one off throw away pass, no deposit.
2) An Eco pass, you give it back and get a deposit back and they can reuse it.
3) You can buy a "loyalty" VIP card for €10 which is valid for 3 years. You need to provide a digital photo you can then "recharge" your VIP Card with your lift pass as many times as you like for 3 years and you get a 5% discount on each lift pass you buy.
I haven't looked at the Tignes website but they are a bit hard to understand. You can save quite a lot once you understand the system. I've just bought my lift pass for next week, it's on the VIP Card which I bought 15 months ago.

be careful if going direct to the ticket office in Tignes, first of all our credit cards did not work in the machine and then when we got cash out, they wouldn't give us the lift passes until we provided all of our passports - wasted 2 hours playing this game with them and rejoining 20 minute queue again and again, why should we - it's pathetic
