 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all,
We've recently booked our annual ski trip, this time with Ski Olympic to Reberty in the 3 Vallees. I've read various comments about the village (good ski in/ski out location, no nightlife, La Ferme is best place to eat, etc). But does anyone have any recommendations on where to hire skis? or more importantly, where not to hire? We would be willing to go to La Croisette if necessary.
Secondly, I've heard that you can get a "beginners pass", does anyone know which lifts it includes? I was thinking about using it for a bit of an arrival day loosener.
Its still 8 weeks until we go, but I'm getting ridiculously excited. Don't know what I'll be like when its only a week to go.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

We used the ski shop round the corner from the chalet, I think it was a ski set one and had decent gear, so no need for you to travel further
There was a lift pass office there as well so again no need to go further down
Great spot for ski and and out

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

You must try to grab lunch at L'Ours Blanc in Reberty (alongside the Doron Chair) sometime - see the comments of Monium's trip to the 3 Valleys/Courchevel if you don't believe me!

Honestly, you absolutely have to do L'Ours Blanc. I miss it now, because I'm hungry. Hungry enough to eat a Polar Bear.
From what the guys we were staying with had said, they'd stayed in the Reberty Olympic chalets and rated them very highly. Please rememer to post a trip report when you get back, as it is on the shortlist for our trip next year.
Don't know about no nightlife, there seemed to be a pub right on the piste, so at least there will be beer.
Beginners passes are a nice idea, but if you get there on arrival day and want to ski just use the free lifts - there's some in every resort, I think Reberty no different. Someone should be able to advise on that. You're also barely going to have time to get in, get gear out, get changed, get to lift pass office, and then get a significant amount of skiing in. Much better idea to hire a toboggan and go nuts for an hour or two

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Sounds great but will we need to be Russian billionaires or need a mortgage to eat there? 
Can you give us an idea of what's on offer and an indication of prices please?

I think that you will be bored within 5 mins with the free bucket lift at the bottom of Les Menuires; I may be wrong, but I think that you would then have to walk back up to Reberty; quite steep!
