Hi
We have space for you in Les Arcs, or La Plagne over Christmas week if you are still looking. We are discounting nights in December now, so for catered accom it would be £287 a week. Let me know if that's any good for you.

You are quite right when you say chalets are charging for their holidays, it is the one reason we have set up Ski courchevel. However I think as with all winter holidays you do have to compromise!

When I worked as a winter holiday travel advisor I would tell my clients to make a list of what they expected and didnt want from a holiday and then prioritise this list, with the results you can narrow the search for the perfect holiday with all the aspects covered.

Cost is nearly always at the top of the list, and as its a general accepted rule of thumb that the higher you go the more you pay for not only accommodation but for equipment hire and even your morning coffee, then look to stay lower and benefit from saving money but skiing the best areas around and bagging good value for money!!

Again this is why we live where we do.....I have been living here full time for over a year now and negotiated good rates with fab standard of equipment for my guests. There are 5 bars/restaurants/pizzarias here and we have a free regular bus service to the lifts less than 3 minutes from our door! Should we get bored with the 3 vallees then Paradiski is 12 minutes away by car and free parking!!

Our rooms are all en suite and bigger than the usual cramped hutches further up the mountain, we have free wi-fi in all rooms and full service of english sky tv!

However if you still want ski in /out then try self catering .....we own an apartment right beside the piste (a red piste) and can offer extras such as linen and towels, meal delivery service (subject to availability)

Our prices are extremley good value as our returning guests would agree!!

Contact me for any further information

Me and my other half are looking for a week over xmas but finding a decent chalet that doesn't charge the earth is hard and isn't a car ride to the slopes. There are plenty of chalets out there who must have a room that they don't fill over the xmas week but finding them is difficult.

Forgot to mention that we have a discount that if you fill the chalet with at least 8 adults then the total price £2600 per 7 night stay on a catered basis,half board with wine, this means that as the chalet can sleep up to 12 (using the family rooms) then the price per person is reduced, and the discount is yours!

We are 12 minutes drive from the lifts of either Courchevel or La Plagne (Paradiiski) though the free bus service is to Courchevel.

There is also a gondola from nearby Brides les Bains if you prefer wihich goes directly into the Chaudanne in Meribel.

If you are interested please would like to hear from you and your group.

Hi Everyone !!

Firstly, apologies for the late response, my laptop decided to explode last week lol

Here are the Chalet details which is available for the New Years week 27th Dec - 3rd Jan. The price is £325 each including Half Board - evening meals, wine, etc etc.

EDIT ::: Oops forgot lol : http://www.chaletsdirect.com/plagne/chalet_des_amis.htm

Its at the foot of both Les Arcs and La Plagne ( 5 min bus to each mountain ) and only 20 mins or so away from Meribel etc too, so we could Board the whole of France from here wooooo

So far, there is My Girlfriend and I. There are a number of people who have said " holy sh*t thats cool " but as yes nobody has confirmed so I guess its a first come first served basis...

If you wanna get more info ... you can email a Wonderful lady called Heather.. hijameson@yahoo.co.uk Make sure you state its with the party Wayne Hurdman ( Me ) and get info on the rooms etc.

All we gotta do now is get flights & lift pass... apparently Chambery is the closest airport at 40 mins drive away!!

I want a lift pass which covers the WHOLE Paradiski yehaaaaa but I guess they are £$£$£$£... Les Arcs will do... NO button lifts hehe.!!

Let me know if any of you speak with Heather, wonderful lady by the sounds of things

Over & Out !!!
