Anyone got any lift pass deals for this season?

Last year I covered a range of options.

Valloire are running their offer again although it is 12 euros more than last year. The season pass offer closes on the 15th of November. 150km of runs plus lift access to the extensive off piste for 199 euros. For 20 euros more you can use the lifts in the summer with your mountain bike.

At Orelle (Maurienne entrance to the 3 valleys) you get a 2 euro discount on a day pass pre-bought on the Interweb.

http://www.skiatoutprix.com/ gives up to 50% off Courchevel and Meribel Mottaret 3h, half day and day passes with reductions on the ESF ski school. If you are on the Menuires side take a look at: http://www.skijournee.com/ for similar deals.

In the Vercors you can buy the Euroski lift pass. I’m slightly hazy on the details but if you don’t ski all day (or afternoon) they will credit yours handsfree pass with the hours not skied (in 15 minute blocks) and you can use the time in any of the other 7 Vecors ski resorts. Sounds like a great way of sampling the area to me.

L’alpe du Grande Serre also has an early bird deal. If you buy a season pass before the 16th November it cost 275 €, saving 70 € plus you can ski Oz and Vaujany in the Alpe d’Huez domain. That gives you access to all the the Vaujany Off Piste

The website http://www.skiogrande.com (lame wordplay on Rio Grande) promises discounts for participating resorts but the site is not operational, ditto for http://www.cinesnowcard.com/. Don’t these guys realize the season starts in 4 weeks?

Hi Guys, The Grand Massiff including the resorts Flaine, Les Carroz, Morillon, Samoens and Sixt boasts 265km of pistes (and quite a lot of off piste!) They offer an early bird of 50% off a season pass if booked before December 12th I think, but details on the site, grand-massif.com
The deal used to only be on the French language site and not the english translated one, but that may have changed now. Located on the mountain range between Chamonix and the Portes du Soleil it’s good value at 419 euros for the season. There’s a few extras as well like 3 free days in Courmayeur and a few free days at nearby resorts. Worth a look if you’re thinking of more than about 2 weeks skiing.

Similar saving to last year of around €150 if you buy a pass for La Clusaz or the full Aravis region before the 7th December:
