Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all,
Myself and my girlfriend are heading to Les Arcs for the 09/10 season.
Although we are going to be in a huge resort I want to use other resorts, tignes Val 3 valleys etc...
Can anyone advise if the season lift passes can be used in other resorts?
Or, is there an option where you can buy a pass that allows it?
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers!

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

Dry Boy, if you buy a Paradiski (Les Arcs & La Plagne) season pass it gives you a few 'free' days in Espace Killy and the Trois Vallees (2 days in each, IIRC). Beyond those days I've received good discounts in Tignes and in La Rosiere by being a season pass holder for Paradiski - best ask at the lift pass office to see if they offer any reductions.

Welcome Dryboy you'll have a great time!
With the Paradiski Season pass provided you pay full retail (and not workers rates) then you get 2 free days in each of 3v & Espace Killy (so 4 free days in total). I believe with a Les Arcs only pass you got one free day in each of those resorts. If it's a workers pass then you get nada. When going to the other resort you must take your Paradiski pass with you and present it along with the discount (free) voucher to get the 3v pass. Then make sure you stick the Paradiski pass in the right hand pocket as otherwise the poor lift gates get confused...
According to Snowcrazy then you can get 50% off a La Ros day pass, but I never tried that one myself. I did have a look at Holiski but it really wasn't that well sorted for last season - I could never find a published price for the charges - and I'm always suspicious of 10% off without seeing a price. Plus in somewhere like 3v it only covers lifts in Meribel/Les Menures and not Courchevel/VT, so not that handy really. Other resorts currently listed are too far away for sensible day trips
I did a season in Peisey/Vallandy les arcs last year - some comments which may be of interest http://snowheads.com/ski-forum/viewtopic.php?t=53223 and http://snowheads.com/ski-forum/viewtopic.php?t=46330&start=253

Thanks for the reply guys,
Bertie - I read some of your blogs, some good info cheers!!! Im actually going to be renting a room in Moulin, you probably know, but a small village just down the hill from Vallandry! Can't wait, were looking for a bit more of a laid back approach and know the couple (from renting their catered chalet last season) who we are going to be renting from and needless to say, they aren't 1st year seasonaires drinking till 5am then first lift. So should be good times!
How did you find the not working part? Although we don't need to work whilst out there were thinking a part time job each might be good! Probably try bar work or something!
Cheers
