I am arriving at Montsoleil evening of 14/12. We drove at the same time last year and got stuck on the mountain in a massive storm and needed roadside assistance, which involved turning the car around and driving and leaving the car in the Spar car park for the week! So this time we decided to fly, I would like recommendations on a return transfer from Geneva. We also took advantage of 8 nights for the price of 7 but we are now left with Saturday free as the lessons for my 2 boys don't start until the Sunday. What shall we do? Private lessons? The rabbit club that my 7yo went in last season is not open either so we will be left with a 7yo and 11yo in the afternoons, what shall we do as I am not comfortable taking a 7yo out in poor conditions. Any advice would be appreciated.Regards Simon.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

For transfers try;
- http://www.genevaairporttransfers.com/
or
- Go Massif.
As for something to do why not;
- get your daughter a 121 lesson for the day?
- Go and play on skis on the bottom slope?
- Or chillax in the pool at Montesoleil (IIRC there is one)

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

larn, If you put a request on our site you can get quotes directly from local transfer companies and choose the best one for you. www.findtransfers.com
A private lesson could be a good idea as they could really use what they learnt for the rest of the week. 
Have a great time!

I used ski-lifts.com last winter.
300 euro return.
Quick and easy at Geneva. Slight hitch coming back in that the driver didn't know where Montsoeil was or was given duff info.
Texts in days predeeding return to confirm pick up times etc
Would use again.

I seem to remember there being a free lift on the easy slope at the bottom when we went so you can get the little ones skiing on saturday
if you need to get them sort out the hire gear before every one else arrives
try the ice rink
go for a stroll drink lots of chocolate

the guys that run this live just down the hill from Flaine, lovely people (we're staying in their apartment this season) worth a call, they'll be able to sort you out.

For your first day you can do some village runs on free lifts. Close to home if it turns inclement.
From the top of the nursery slope you can come down a choice of runs but one is a gentle green then run to the bottom of the village.
Free chair lift up then get the teacups back to nursery slope. Repeat x? then hot chocolate stops.

Thanks for the replies. The findtransfers.com is a great find. I will book through them this time and again, I have booked ESF for the boys in the mornings and I am waiting to hear back from Ski Club about guiding otherwise it's private lessons all round, once again many thanks Simon

cheers Mutley, the only issue is if SW skis back in to Flaine at lunchtime so that we can pick up our kids. If he does we will be skiing with him, although in all honesty with their being limited opening he wont get that far from Flaine anyway. I have sent him a PM and await his answer. Thanks
