Social Skiing

Are you looking to meet new people, explore the mountains and discover the pistes with like-minded people of the same ski standard and have some fun? Then look at joining our FREE Snow Club in resort and enjoy the best that our resorts have to offer without even having to open a piste map...

...social skiing is the perfect way for you to….

  • ​ explore the pistes with other skiers of the same standard

  • ​ discover unfrequented parts of the mountain

  • ​ get to know other people

  • ​ have lots of fun with like-minded people.

For those of you who would like to take part in the social skiing programme, you must be able to ski competently on blue runs in all conditions and to ski linked turns safely and comfortably on red runs.

 

Alternatively, a member of our staff can introduce skiers of similar standards to each other so that you can form your own group, to explore the mountains at your own pace. 

Lift Passes

As opposed to the larger resorts in France, our resorts are extremely good value when it comes to lift pass prices. See SKI DEALS for details.

Equipment Hire

Whether you are just learning to ski or are an expert skier we have a choice of skis suited for you available in our in-house ski shops*. We have graded the skis Bronze, Silver and Gold to help you pre-book your choice.

Gold Skis = For advanced skiers. When booking gold skis you can swap as often as you wish during your holiday so you have the freedom to try whatever you want!!

Silver Skis = For intermediate skiers.

Bronze Skis = For beginners or early intermediate skiers.

We also offer a wide selection of ski boots, snowboards(from local shop), helmets, snowshoes and children’s skis and boots. If you decide to bring your own skis our staff will be happy to wax, service and adjust them for a small charge.

*When pre-booking your ski and boot hire prior to travel you are entitled to a 10% discount. See SKI DEALS for details.

Snow Guarantee

Snow Guarantee

For early season ski holidays we have decided to provide this special snow guarantee FREE of charge. It covers departures from mid-December to 15 January (except any holidays that stay over New Year's Eve). If the Valmeinier/Valloire ski area has less than 50% of its lifts open, then from 5 to 3 days before departure you can decide to change your holiday to another departure date, subject to availability.

 

If you change to a less expensive holiday any price difference will be refunded. If you change to a more expensive holiday we will pass on any difference in price as advertised. There will be no administration fees for these changes.

Valloire/Valmeinier: Ski lifts now up to 2750m directly from the hotel
