 Poster: A snowHead
|
The owners of the hotel we've stayed at for the last three years have just sent a letter offering us free lift passes for our stay if we book with them this season. Still too pricey though  This is for the Grandes Alpes...any one else had a similar offer? They must be worried about bookings - despite the Ruskies.

480 € cheapest per room per day during the main season? Stratospherically pricey for me - the lift-pass price becomes almost incidental. Interesting that they are worried about their bookings, though.

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

Shimmy Alcott, some very reasonable deals there (though I didn't see the Grandes Alpes for the sample week I dropped in to check). I'll bear them in mind for the long term - though I think I just about have the coming season stitched up - Zinal, Wengen and the EOSB.

€480 per day?
That's over half my total spend for an average week!

First year we went it was about £120 pppn. Last year it was about £195. This year at New Year its priced at £3500 each for the week  (in First choice I think). We dont go at New Year though.

I do when I can book the Lutins (at LDA) at €38/day  However, I know what you are getting at - but even allowing for the deals you should be able to get, €490/day is a very high starting point.

My son was working in Courchevel 1850 for some time last season - he had a few Russian guests (one of whom was the sister of that journalist allegedly killed by Putin's hired hands and a very interesting and pleasant woman) but the big spenders around the resort were apparently mainly the Saudis.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Colin B, yeah, but you have to factor in that you'll need to buy your own bacon

You know it makes sense.
|
Shimmy Alcott, That buys an awful lot of bacon and pizzas (and even a liitle Swiss beer)
