Get me to the Alps

What an incredible day for Wintersports!

Our nerves can't take the Winter Olympics going on much longer 😬

That’s what we call a Super Sunday 🤩 ‍🙌

Two gold medals in a day, taking Team GB’s total to three at this games! 🥇🥇🥇

📢 Those travelling to Belleville Valley resorts 📢

The town council has issued a decree regarding the mandatory Winter equipment for vehicles accessing the Belleville Valley resorts (Val Thorens, Les Menuires, Saint Martin de Belleville), and this is now in place for all of the ski season. 🚘

Article 4.2: “Depending on weather conditions and the state of the road surface, law enforcement may deny access to the resorts for vehicles equipped with ‘snow socks’ if these are not suitable for heavily snow-covered or icy roads. Vehicles failing to meet these requirements will be denied access to the resorts under the conditions set out in Article 2.” 🛞

They have confirmed that fines may also be given out if this is not followed. We strongly recommend that you have metal snow chains before you start travelling (easy to source in the UK). If you do leave it to France to get them, they can be purchased in larger supermarkets and garages. However, if conditions are bad, there does tend to be a rush to get them, which results in sell-outs and having to travel much further out to find them.

It’s better to be safe (and chain-ready), than stuck at the bottom of the mountain! 🗻

☀️ This could be you next season! ☀️

Watching beautiful sunsets on your balcony in the Alps before hitting the apres! Or maybe heading to the spa 💆‍♀️! Or even going to bed early so you can be up and waiting at the lifts ready for them to open.

That's right, we have started having accommodation prices through for the 2026/27 season! We know so many of you are very keen to get something sorted for next season, so we're very excited to be able to start looking at trips for you 🥳.

Options are still somewhat limited, especially for some resorts (nothing for Val Thorens at the moment), but the options we have are incredible value and great locations. Including the gorgeous chalet in La Rosiere that you can see in this video 🗻. We'll be posting some of our favourite options over the next few weeks.

Drop us a comment or an email ([email protected]) with what your group is looking for and let's get you to the Alps next season! ⛷️

Ps. If we've already spoken to you about a trip for next season, if any of the options released suit what it was that you were looking for, we'll be in touch soon don't worry.

📣 It’s here! We’re going for it on our group trip 🥳

We want to try and help make skiing as accessible as possible and we don’t want not having friends or family who ski to be a barrier. So, let’s ski together!

We have 10 bedrooms available across two apartments at the gorgeous Les Balcons de Val Thorens on 11th – 18th April (7 in one apartment and 4 in the other). This gives us up to 20 spaces (currently) on a trip with fellow minded, ski and snowboard enthusiasts! If we get more interest than the 20 spaces, we can look at adding more rooms.
Les Balcons de Val Thorens is a firm favourite with us and our customers. Located right by the slopes, in the morning you can pop on your skis and head out. Your stay includes free access to their swimming pool and spa facilities (and you can even pay for massages and treatments), which is a really nice way to end a long day boarding (or to spend the day in if you just aren’t feeling skiing!). We haven’t chosen necessarily the cheapest apartments, but they are some of the most comfortable for a group like this, with lots of twin beds and a bath/shower room and toilet per bedroom.

We really want the focus of this trip to be the skiing and the snow, whilst also making friends. It’s not a party trip, just a group of like-minded snow enthusiasts wanting to enjoy the mountains. You’ll be joined by one of the team (for at least the first half of the week!) to help navigate settling in (don’t worry, no awful ice breaker games but there will absolutely be a pack of cards out there!). Val Thorens is the highest resort in Europe, giving you the best chance at good snow conditions. The last couple of season, mid-April has actually seen a mega dump of snow!

We are able to offer your stay self-catered (both apartments come with fully functioning kitchenettes and dining areas) or with catering in the on-site restaurant.
Our initial base price will include return shared transfers from Geneva airport to resort, your 7 nights of accommodation, 6 day Val Thorens lift pass and 6 day economy skis, boots and poles but we can completely cater that to what you need. Want to upgrade to the full 3 valleys lift pass? Sure! Don’t need hire? We’ll take it off!

We are offering:
A solo room at £1299pp self-catered or £1595pp half-board – deposits of £415pp
A 2 person room (whether that’s a couple or sharing with another solo) at £890pp self-catered and £1185pp half-board – deposits of £255pp

Logistically, it gets quite complex organising a trip like this, as it’s very hard to know how many people are going to commit to coming. We’re going to try and make it as easy as possible so we do appreciate your patience and assistance.

You can head to our designated website page find out the full details of the trip and how to get booked on. Any questions, just drop us an email!

😬 Snow seems to be like buses... None for a while and then it all comes at once! 😬

Yesterday was another interesting day in the world of ski holidays. We swear the weather knows when it's a Saturday, the main transfer day for most travellers 🤔
The snow was dumping down, and the roads were blocking up with snow and then with cars ❄️. Heading to or from the 3 valleys was VERY long yesterday (with other areas also being a bit longer than usual as a result of traffic down the valley). The Gendarmarie were only allowing cars with metal snow chains up (as opposed to snow socks or winter tyres), and then, of course, shops were running out of snow chains in the area 🛞. Even once you were allowed through, the roads were so blocked up, moving 300m in 90 minutes was a massive achievement! Emergency accommodation was opened up overnight in Val Thorens' leisure centre, Les Menuires and also down in Moutiers to house those who couldn't get to resort but also those who couldn't get out of resort 🏫.

We want to thank our team that were working hard to try and help our customers get to the airport, and also customers getting to resort, whilst also liaising with transfer companies and accommodations. Understandably these situations can be stressful for customers and emotions are often running high, so it can be quite intense for our staff. We thank our customers for their patience, while we did absolutely everything that we could with the situation that was thrown at us (and everyone else trying to do the same journeys!) 🙏.

Our biggest thank you has to go to our transfer companies and drivers yesterday 🥳. Some drivers were unintentionally ending up on the road for 20 hours, in horrible conditions with very little information to go off (other than a big red line on Google Maps...). They do this whilst communicating in their second or even third language, a huge mental drain. They wanted to get customers to their destination as much as the customer did, but everyone's safety has to be a priority.

Unfortunately when dealing with a sport that is so heavily weather dependent, these things do end up happening HOWEVER we've seen the snow conditions out there at the moment and they look awful... Terrible... Horrible... Not even worth it... 😒 (We're 100% lying, it looks amazing out there. More of that to follow).

😇 We need your help 😇

We know that skiing as a solo traveller isn't the easiest, even groups of 2 can be tricky. With apartments normally sleeping a minimum of 4 people, it can get very expensive very quickly 💶.

We know that this is often a barrier for people going skiing, and we hate that! We get that not everyone has family or friends which ski or who can get on a trip with them ⛷️.

We're passionate about the mountains and we want to help as many people get out and enjoy them as possible! 🗻

If we ran a trip for solos/couples who didn't know each other, would you be interested in joining?
This would be a large apartment just for our group, available with catering or not, potentially with the option of a solo room at a higher cost or a shared room to reduce the cost. You could ski together in the day, or not if you preferred to do your own thing! The focus would be the snow as opposed to party party, but of course, we always have time for a little apres or balcony beers 🍻.

We're considering trialling a trip mid to end April this season to Val Thorens with the view to maybe running a few trips next season, in other resorts too.

Is this something you'd be interested in? If you can drop us a comment below, we can gauge interest and see what snow magic we can work! 🏂

This bit between is Christmas and New Years is like after you've stopped for lunch on the mountain; you really would like to just stay sat down but you're powering on, fuelled by wine and cheese 🍷🧀

From now on, we will only drink Aperols of this size, please and thank you 🍹it was so good, you get 3 pictures of it...

(That is an outright lie. We will drink any size Aperol, forever and always 🤷‍♀️)
