Happy half term week!

Skiing with kids definitely comes with challenges (our solutions are snacks, snacks, hot chocolates and more snacks!), but it is so so so rewarding. There really is nothing like watching your little sprogs share your passions with you in such magical places 😍🏔️

So when they're moaning that they're cold, they can't carry their skis anymore, or they NEED that €10 keyring from the shop, take a deep breath, have a look around and soak it all in 🏂⛷️

The landslide issues are still rumbling on, and behind the scenes, we're working very hard to get everything sorted in a constantly evolving situation.

Customers travelling with us to the airport from resort on 8th Feb:

If we haven't been in touch with you already, please bear with us while we liaise with suppliers regarding the situation this weekend.
All parties involved are doing everything they can to get the most accurate information from authorities and prepare services accordingly.

We'll be providing updates as soon as we have them and new plans in place, we're expecting this to be by tomorrow afternoon.

Customers travelling with us to resort on 8th Feb:

We will be in touch later this week with updates. In most cases, things won't change that much for you but your transfer will take longer so we strongly suggest ensuring you go to the toilet last thing before you leave the airport and have plenty of snacks and drinks available.

Customers travelling in either direction on 15th Feb:

At this stage, we simply cannot plan that far ahead. We have very little idea what the road situation will be by then, nearly 2 weeks ahead, so we're going to have to play it by ear. As and when necessary, we will be in touch.

Thank you for your patience and understanding that everything being done is in your best interests.

Firstly, we want to thank all customers that travelled with us today. The closure of the N90 due to the landslide situation has caused a major incident (understandably). We have spent all day (and we are still doing so now...) liaising with customers, accommodations and transfer companies to keep everyone as up to date as we can. We're very very glad to hear that no one was seriously injured when the rock fell, and that really is the main thing. The ending of this could have been completely different...We know that it's stressful when things like this happen that are out of everyone's control, but really really appreciate everyone remaining calm and patient. Everyone is in the same boat and we're all on your side! Our emergency number is operational 24/7 and we'll be on emails throughout the night so please do contact if you need anything.

Secondly, a mega mega mega shout-out to all transfer drivers today - both shared transfers and private transfers. These guys work long, tough hours at the best of times, to then have to deal with something like this, not in their first (or even sometimes second!) language and when people are stressed, they're absolute gems.
We also want to give a shout out to the transfer providers head offices and on the ground teams. They've been providing updates for us, the public and offering useful information to everyone. They're doing everything they can to reorganise buses for tomorrow (not an easy task when everyone is doing the same thing!). Half the team here have repped before and know how insanely hard it can be to have to explain bad news to someone in an airport, and how high emotions can be, so we really do thank you.

The incident is far from over with authorities opening up leisure centres for emergency sleep stations overnight. The road is semi open still but extremely slow moving with a long back log of traffic. The recommendation is not to join the traffic for the safety of everyone.

2025-26 season ski holidays... ⛷

We're getting lots and lots of enquiries at the moment for ski holidays for the 2025-26 ski season. We adore the enthusiasm! 😝However, very simply, you're too keen! There simply are no prices out at the moment. We're hopeful these will start trickling through in March with the bulk fully out by April - June 2025 but we are unfortunately very much at the liberty of the suppliers and when they release.

We know that there are companies advertising 2025-26 holidays at the moment, and we'd just say be aware of these🧐. Prices simply are not out for the majority of things (ie pretty much all accommodations, lift passes, transfers, ski hire) so they are likely "guesstimating" the prices based on last years prices and then increasing it by an amount to factor in year on year inflationary costs. 📈

Can this work in your favour, they underestimate and you get a holiday at a "loss"? Sure. 🤷‍♀️Can it work horribly against you and you pay way over the odds for a holiday? Very much so.😬

There is also the risk that a) if the holiday does make a loss, they'll just cut their losses and cancel your trip b) (and one company is worse for this than others - we've been left picking up the pieces on more than one occassion!) the accommodation they sold you ends up not available and they cancel your trip anyway. In both cases, you're left back in square one and have potentially missed out on options when they were actually available.😞

We completely understand wanting to get locked in early, especially for those bigger groups and those peak weeks like New Years (which 90% of our current enquiries are for) but we would recommend just hanging off for now. Let suppliers get towards the end of this current season so they can prepare for next properly.
If the reason for booking early is to enable lots of time to pay off the trip, we'd really recommend looking into banking options. Lots of banks now allow you to build pots within your accounts where you can pop money in. Or just opening up an easy-access savings account - your money is away from you, but accessible should you need it, and you may even earn a few pennies in interest!

If you'd like, we can pop you on a list to contact as prices start to come out, just let us know what you're looking for!
Equally, keep checking back on our socials as this is one of the first places we'll announce when things start opening up.

"I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you and your team. We had a great holiday that ran smoothly from start to finish. I will definitely use your company again. ❤️"

We love opening emails like this. 📨 The fact that someone has taken the time out of their day to write an email to us, saying how much they enjoyed their trip, really means a lot. We love it even more when people send us pictures of them enjoying the mountains (they do make us jealous though... 🫣).

We're proud of the experience we offer, from finding the holiday, to booking the holiday, to getting away, we're with you every step of the way. We're even there after if you need something! Drop us a comment or message and let us help you!

We want to talk about cost vs cost-effectiveness...

We're seeing a few adverts popping up at the moment which mention that a great way to do a "cheaper"/"cheap" ski trip is to reduce the length of time that you travel for. 💸We have customers come to us with this expectation as well. When we speak about trips, we tend to use the wording "cost-effective" which differs from just talking about the cost. We had a customer last week speak about this and when we explained it to them, they couldn't believe they'd never thought about it that way! 🤯

So lets look at what we mean in real terms:
Your 7 night, 6 day skiing trip could be £800pp.
The same trip (ie same resort, same accommodation) for 5 nights, 4 days skiing could be £725pp.
Is the shorter trip cheaper? Yes, of course.🤷‍♀️
Is it as cost-effective? Absolutely not. 🤦‍♀️For 2 days less skiing, you're only saving £75pp.

In most cases, 6 days skiing IS the most cost-effective number of days skiing. For example in multiple resorts, 5 and 6 day lift passes are the same price. A 4 day ski pass isn't necessarily just the cost of a 6 day lift pass divided by 6 and multiplied by 4 days... It's normally more. The same is true for ski hire. 🎿

It's also true that in a lot of cases, residences will only run for 7 days, so you can check in late/check out early but it's not as cost-effective - not all companies will tell you this! We prefer to be upfront about it.
There is an argument that flights are cheaper if you look outside weekends. We can't argue that this is often true BUT shared transfers often don't run outside weekends or aren't as frequent, which means it's necessary to look at private transfers, which are a higher cost so it can balance out savings on flight costs.✈️

In short, what we're trying to say is that while shorter trips often are cheaper, in the grand scheme of things, it may not be worth it to opt for them if you dont NEED to. It's definitely something to look into a bit more.

We promise we do actually work really hard 🥴 we just have to let our brain have a little ski break sometimes ⛷️

You've been up the mountain all day. The sun is shining. You have an Aperol. The music is playing. Life is good 🗻☀️🍹

Another mountain ick of ours... Things on helmets * We know some wear them because they're the "lead skier" so they can keep their group together but we're just not on-board. 🪖⛷️ *If you're under 18, you're excluded from this ick

What are your mountain icks? Things you see up the mountain that make you just feel a bit funny and ew 🤢 We'll go first... People that snowboard with their hands behind their back. Why? Why are you doing that? We are not in the olympic bordercross team, you do not need to do that 🏂

A tip for Val Thorens if you have kids in nursery. The drop off time is from 8:30 but the lifts don't open until 9:00. However, the magic carpets are running and the baby slopes are DEAD so jump on them and try something new. It's a great chance to get 30 minutes of switch practice in each day! 🏂
