 Poster: A snowHead
|
Looking to book a large group hol for next Easter with a mix of couples and kids. Having never organised a large group trip before I'm not sure where the best place to look is for a chalet this size and wondered if anyone can recommend me a place.
Looking for something at high altitude as it will be late in the season, so Tignes, Les Arcs, Val Thoren, Kutai, Cervinia, etc etc.
Thanks

We were looking to go down this route for next year as well, I looked on http://www.ownersdirect.co.uk
Found loads of good sized chalets for our group (of 12) and at reasonable prices. Problem we found is that by the time we added everything up, flights (no way were we driving), transfers, food etc it only came in at £200 quid cheaper (for my family) compared to a catered chalet with a TO 
Needless to say we went with the easy option and have got sole use of catered chalet, flights, transfers etc for £568 per person.

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

transfers are very often the killer unless you get them down to around £80 pp or less. my experience is that you can better quality doing DIY chalet, DIY transfer and flights and a small cost saving but there are also risks attached and I would only now book a chalet that take credit card bookings to protect in the event of private operator going bust as sadly happened to us.

http://www.chalet-altitude.com/en/ I have booked 5 bedroomed apartments from them in Arc 2000 and La Rosiere. I know they have bigger ones at Arc 2000 and probably at Val Thorens, but I don`t know if they have one large enough for your requirements. I think there is a bit of a shortage of large group self-catering accommodation at high altitude.
They are currently offering a 10 percent early booking reduction in price and are a lovely Company to deal with, at full occupancy their accommodation is a good price.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

dan100, "operator going bust" much less of a problem with s/c and you'll find far fewer s/c owners accepting credit cards.
