Advice/help please on the best way to get our lift passes for Christmas/New Year
My French really isn't up to the Val D'Isere pass web site (or maybe it's too late for me to try and translate) so for those who know more than I do
I need to get 4 adult and 1 child pass for 13/14 days, from what I can see it might be worth getting the VIP passes as it saves a small amount of money, approx the amount for Carre Neige.
It costs €10 to register for 3 seasons, is that each pass or just once for me if I am the person who registers, and then I can reload from here rather than at the lift stations
Do they deliver to the UK or is it held in resort for collection?
How do they get round the photo problem? Last year we had to have a picture because we had longer length passes
or should we just buy when we get there?

had a look but the stvi site doesn't seem to have a flag
there is another site that answers most of my questions but what do others think about using the VIP system?

Tollpepper, I bought a season pass from them a few weeks ago and they sent by post. You have to upload a photo on the site during the purchase process, all quite straight forward.
I called them to check a couple of things before I bought online. They have people who can speak english so I would give them a call and ask to speak to an english speaker as I did.
I think you can arrange to collect in resort if you like or they can post them as long as you have two weeks before you depart.
I go on Saturday! can't wait

Tollpepper,
The English version in shown ae "EN" not as a union jack.
I've been an individual VIP Card Colder for 3 years and have saved lots of money because I go there a lot. I'm not sure about the family card but this is how I would expect it to work.
I expect the €10 is for just the main VIP Card holder then you add the family members onto your one VIP Account. I would expect STVI then to issue each family member a separate card.
Photos - before going online take a digital photo of each member of your family. When completing the purchase of your VIP Card(s) you will be asked to submit a photo for each card.
If you're going for Xmas I recommend you collect the VIP card(s) from the VIP Office which is attached to the Solaise Cable Car Station, they may not have time to send them to you. You may be able to sort your VIP Card out when you arrive but there is a special office for VIP you can't just use the normal lift pass offices.
It's a bit tricky working through the process but well worth it, I always have to do it for one of my skiing friends.
Helene Bidet in the VIP Office is I think fluent in English.
