Flaine or neaby Alps 4 day trip last weekend in March. Solo Ski companion needed.

A snowHead

Hi,

I am Male 45 lower/intermediate standard skier. Happy to tackle most red runs. Rest of family no longer wish to ski. From Darwen Lancashire so using Liverpool or Manchester Airports.

Cannot manage a full week trip this year due to other work/family commitments but can manage approx 4 day trip end of March. May end up going on own but would be more fun to share. Sociable as well - likes a drink etc.

I am reasonably flexible on destiantion/itinary but have a few proposals.

I particularly would like to go to Flaine as last time I was in that area could not ski much higher up
due to Cloud and ended up in lower resorts. However if someone else would prefer nearby resorts
and come up with proposals re.accommodatione etc then that would be of great interest as well.

Liverpool / Geneva flights (Fitting 4 day trip in depending on accommodation (PPV apt breaks last day is Sunday for example)
Leaving between Wed 30th March - Fri 1st April Returning Sunday 3rd to Tuesday 5th April.
Flight total cost including luggage) around £65 to £105 currently.

return Transfers to resorts such as Flaine, Morzine between 50 to 100 Euros.

Grand Massif Lift PAss - 40E a day.

Ski/boot hire checked on intersport flaine 45% discount so around 60E for 4 days.

accommodation : www.flaine.com links to a few alternatives. I am guessing betwee 400 to 500 euros shared for an aparment for 4days, B&B cost per person likely similar. Open to suggestions.

Would like to book sometime next week as flight prices are faily cheap at the moment but go up as u know nearer to the time.

Please post/pm me if any interest. Suggest phone numbers etc kept private to PMs.

Thanks all,

John

I'm off to Flaine on 5th March for the week. If you can't manage the week, try a short break with Action Outdoors (UCPA). All inclusive prices for a week are £700 (full board, lift pass, lessons, kit hire) - no doubt proportionately less for a 4 day trip.

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

damobloke1, Thanks I will also get in touch with UPCA and see if they will do short breaks.

You need to Login to know who's really who.

I am interested in Flaine mid week 7 to 10 March. Did UCPA indicate whether there was any chance of booking in for less than one week?

Thanks Derek (they'll be two of us)

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Derek I have just this morning managed to get in at Flaine UPCA for 31st March thru 3rd April. They had availability at Chamonix the weekend before.

I would give them a call and ask for other dates.
