Why cant they have a better online booking system? Tried to book the other day and its too late apparently; have to wait until we are there. This will mean registering before 9am for a 9am lesson start (for my daughter) - wouldnt it be easier for them to get it sorted beforehand? We should have been there in plenty time to get it sorted but our flight times have been changed so I think they'll be shut before we get there.

Shimmy Alcott, Ring them? We used ESF early New Year in Les Arcs and did it by phone and e-mail to confirm, they were very good. Don't know why but never really trust French on line booking systems

thefatcontroller, in English?
Would really like to get it sorted before hand as shes doing a package where they supply the kit and lunch and a bit of play time too. The lessons are only 2.25hrs long as its French half term and start at 9am instead of 9.30. Will be pretty stressful trying to sort out all the paperwork and her ski hire too.

Shimmy Alcott, I would get on with it by phone if that is the option now, I am sure that if you work out what you want to say in French and have a go then they will find someone to talk to you. If not then you may find that the lessons are all full when you get there - unless you really know that you can get a place on the package you mention.

Shimmy Alcott, ring them (they will speak english) or email them directly not the online booking thing. Their office will be open at 8am so not ideal but you will have time to go and sort out before the 9.00 start. Bonne chance.

thefatcontroller, Les Arcs 1800. I think it must just be because they are so busy? Silly me, thinking we'd missed British half term by a week I wasn't overly worried about getting her booked in. Booked her in to Arc Adventures now so at least I wont have sleepless nights  Their lesson times are the normal 2.5 hrs 9.30 am start. Im sure Megamum used them before - will go and check my previous thread.

Why didn't you book earlier, I have never had any problem with the system. If you leave everything to the last minute on the busiest week of the year what do expect.

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

Shimmy Alcott, We have just had a week with arc adventures, they have been brill, minime( 8 ) had a great week with them.
How many half term weeks do the French have, we were there last week that was half term, this week is half term, and next week?.
Jees
Any way, e meeting point for AA is by the transarc lift, from robs place it will take you 5-10 mins skiing and skating depending on ESF traffic that's in the way.
Enjoy it's a great place.

Shimmy Alcott, I remember something similar happening to us about 3 years ago when we drifted into ESF somewhere around 16th December to book our visiting grand-daughter into her first set of classes - we were complete novices at this and had no idea that we would have to fit in with what was left. It wasn't a problem in the end having her ski in the afternoon but we made sure after that to get classes (since then with 360 and BASS) booked well in advance but you live and learn don't you. Hope it all works out.

ricfrench, bet the inbetweeners would have snaffled it anyways but, If you'd care to give me notice of where your next ski hol is and when, I'll make sure I'm the week immediately after yours - no point taking any risk in these matters

Shimmy Alcott, If I can wangle it, next feb half term at robs place. Just put the house up for sale though so a ski holiday next year might have already gone tits up

ricfrench, UK half term last week, but French schools have a two week break. Each zone has a different two weeks, so it is actually spread out over a month. Paris holidays started this weekend, which is why it is very busy.
