Val Thorens

Ski pass for 20€ on the operning weekend at Val Thorens on the 22-23 November with free ski tests in the resort. With the good snow this autumn this sounds like a good deal.

Meaudre

Meaudre in the Vercors are offering a two for one lift pass on their opening day (scheduled for the 20th of December 2008) to celebrate their new four seater chairlift. They are also offering free skiing along with Autrans on your birthday (not much good for me, I’m born in July :-( ).

Praz de Lys/Sommand

The Haute-Savoyard resort of Pras de Lys is offering a free lift pass for the opening day on the 20th of December.

Monts Jura

Monts Jura (Lelex - Crozet · Mijoux - Col de la Faucille) are offering half priced passes during the French Downhill Championships from the 20 to 24th March 2009. That’s a penny pinching 11.50 €. No idea how busy the resort will be but presumably access to some runs will be restricted. We were touring at the col de Faucille last week so the area doesn’t lack snow.

The Espace Diamant

You can get a lift pass for 19 € instead of 32 € on the 11th of January 2009 for some reason. A great opportunity to explore the huge Espace Diamant ski area which includes Crest Voland - Cohennoz, Flumet, Les Saisies and Notre-Dame de Bellecombe. See you there.

Auron - Isola 2000

They are taking a leaf out of Easyjet’s book with sales every Tuesday starting at 9am for 3, 4, 6 and 7 day passes. Reductions of 50% but numbers are strictly limited. Gentlemen, to your keyboards.

Brides les Bains

Part of the Trois Vallees domain, Brides les Bains is also playing the “low cost” card. They claim that you can get up to 50% reduction on your holiday if you reserve via the Web. That includes lodging, lifts and even eating out. For example a coffee will cost you 2.80 € in Courchevel 1850 but just 1.30 € in Brides. See their “flash - doh!” website for details:

Holiski is the Compagnie des Alpes answer to N’Py. It lets you roam around the following resorts: l’Espace Killy (Val d’Isère and Tignes), Paradiski (Les Arcs, La Plagne, Peisey-Vallandry), Méribel-Les Allues and Les Menuires-Saint-Martin de Belleville (but not the Trois Valleys resorts), le Grand Massif (Flaine, Les Carroz, Morillon, Samoëns, Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval) and Serre-Chevalier.

You get the following reductions on day lift passes:

* 15% outside the February winter holiday period
* 10 % during the February holidays
* between 25-30% on Saturdays (change over day for week holiday makers)

The CdA claim you are better off with the Holiski pass after just 8 days skiing.

NoteSince the launch of Holiski in the summer it appears that Tignes, Val d’Isere have been withdrawn and that la Plagne can only be reached if you start in les Arcs. The Holiski pass has been controversial with some local communities.

Something for the Ladies

Combloux, Jaillet, la Giettaz (Portes du Mont-Blanc) and Pra Loup are offering free lift passes for the Ladies on the 14 and 15 March. It has something to do with speed dating on chairlifts as far as we can tell.

Chamrousse is giving the girlies a 1 € pass on the 8th of March

Students

Remember you student union card for 10 € lift passes on the 10, 11 January, 21, 22 March and 11, 12 and 13th April for Pra Loup.
