End of season in the mountains

End of season in the mountains

Enjoy Ski and Sun for little price

Between the end of winter and the beginning of spring it is still a little too early to go to the seaside, and you may not suspect it, but it is a very pleasant period at altitude: skiing for alpine purists and activities in the resort for others. The atmosphere is relaxed and it is guaranteed to enjoy a generous sun, slopes just for you and especially very attractive prices.

If snow cover at the beginning of the season (late November / early December) is sometimes random, it is generally still significant in early spring and often the snow levels observed at altitude in March / April are much higher than those measured at the beginning of winter season. So you can still have fun on the slopes for a few more weeks!

You should know that more than 80 ski resorts in the Alps are still open, at least until mid-April, because indeed the ski season is far from over in Savoie, Haute-Savoie and Isere. The conditions are still excellent especially above 1600 meters altitude.

Organize your stay with the Agency Sea and Mountain, spend unforgettable moments in our most beautiful chalets and apartments of standing, and of course at the best rates!

You will enjoy the same pleasures as in high season but without any constraints: More expectations at the checkouts to take your packages, at high-altitude restaurants or lifts! The tradesmen and the local population will be very caring with you.

At this time, the expenses incurred for your stay will be much less important than all the rest of the season; and then in the spring there is no risk of a big snowstorm: make the most of your holiday week! The temperatures are mild, sunny spells are more frequent and very often it is even great sun assured!

If you are a beginner, know that this time of the year will delight young and old for their learning: snow more flexible, clear vision and less crowded slopes.

As for those who do not ski or little, the activities do not miss, the resorts will offer ice rinks, cinema, spa, bowling, and you can also enjoy the hiking trails that unfold at the end of the winter. Ask directly the tourist offices of the resort that interests you, or check their websites, you will find, in addition to the various activities offered, their animation programs often busy in this period.

Sign that winter is approaching, a beautiful layer of fresh snow has come well invited on our beautiful french alps.

It is indeed autumn! The first snows begin to appear in the mountains. This morning, the resorts woke up under a fresh white cover. Snowfall that makes us want to put on the skis … even if we will have to wait a little longer!

Well appreciated this morning (October 30) a beautiful white colour  in the resorts center like here in Valloire where the sun came to invite to this festival of colors. Between the winter white and the mixture of autumnal colors.

Residents of the resorts are beginning to prepare for the reception of tourists in ski resorts for official openings in a few weeks. A winter that seems to be desired before the hour and that lets us predict beautiful snow falls for the opening before the end of the year holidays.

The season ski pass : is it really worth it ?

The season ski pass : is it really worth it ?

With the winter approaching, some are asking the question: is the season ski pass is really worth it ? For those who ski all winter in the same resort, it’s obvious. For the others, things are a bit different. Overview of the advantages and disadvantages, but also alternative solutions that exist.

The advantages of the season pass

If you have a favorite resort and a large volume of ski days, the season pass is just right. This is obviously the solution adopted by all local stations and surrounding valleys for its reduced cost and the end of waiting at the ski lifts in the morning! Note that in many ski areas, the more you buy your package early in the season, the more you get attractive discounts: by ordering before November 15 for some, December 15 for others, you save more than 100 € on the price. Find out soon enough of the deadlines for the station you are interested in. Another important advantage is that the season ticket offers you ski days in the surrounding resorts. This is for example the case at Les Arcs, whose season package offers two days of free skiing (by area) on the Espace Killy, the 3 Vallées and Saint Foy Tarentaise, or 6 days of ski “bonus”! And conversely, for those who take their package in one of its stations. Note also that some resorts offer their summer package (mountain biking, paragliding) to the holders of the winter package (in Serre Chevalier for example).

The season package is not suitable for all skiers

If you are not tuned to a particular station or do not ski every weekend or for several weeks, it’s better to think twice before taking your season pass. Indeed, we calculated that it takes for example 16 days of skiing in La Clusaz or Chamonix, and even 22 days in Val d’Isère to make your season pass in one of its resorts. Finally, a season ticket will, by definition, force you to always go to the same place and therefore be less flexible to snow conditions, or the context (friends skiing elsewhere, events, weather more lenient) …

The new alternative “ski a la carte”

Solutions now exist for those who ski often, but who like to change resorts from time to time. This is not a season pass, but rather a subscription card to a group of domains. Different resorts adhere to it, and the card offers you attractive discounts on the packages of each of them. For example, the Compagnie des Alpes launched Operation Holiski a few years ago on many major resorts: Les Arcs / Peisey-Vallandry, La Plagne Paradiski, Espace Killy (Tignes, Val d’Isère), Serre Knight, and the Grand Massif (Flaine, Samoens, Morillon, Les Carroz, Sixt Fer à Cheval). La Rosière, Sainte Foy and Valmorel are also partners in the operation. It works like a highway telebadge, no need to go to checkout! The card is recognized automatically when you go to the ski lifts, it saves your ski days and you pay them the following month. Annual card membership costs € 29, and discounts range from -15% on the adult day rate and up to -25% on Saturdays on some ski areas. Note that the more you ski with your card, the more you get € 1 days: the 9th, 14th, 19th and 24th days skied on the season will only be charged € 1.
