Val D'Isere Options
If you are looking for SnowDays Options, please click here
The ski season is well and truly upon us so it is time to start booking ski hire, ski carriage, lift passes and even massages for your ski holiday. Please ensure bookings are received at least 2 weeks before you travel.
| PLEASE NOTE: If you are bringing your own equipment and have not already pre-booked ski carraige, please also add that below. It is vital that you book this in advance otherwise you will have to pay a much higher sum at the airport. |
SKI + SNOWBOARD EQUIPMENT HIRE:
1. Budget Option:
For those concerned about price (or who want more cash for après ski!) These skis are all guaranteed to be no more than 2 seasons old (same as skis other shops are renting out full price) covering all abilities. If you choose this option please specify your level in the notes section at the bottom. |
|
2. Progression Option:
The skis in this category are specific beginner’s skis which we recommend for absolute beginners and those with up to a couple of weeks experience. After which, we recommend choosing the Performance Level Package - you will get a lot more out of your week if you go up to the next level. |
|
3. Performance Option:
This category is best for any intermediate skiers (we recommend anyone with around 2 weeks experience upwards, depending on level of progress). These are mainly piste skis but there are some more all-mountain skis and a few freestyle skis for park use. If you are keen to progress we recommend choosing the Excellence Package. |
|
4. Excellence Option:
For advanced to expert skiers; a massive range of models suitable for different skiing styles and preferences (piste carving, all-mountain, freestyle, race and some specialist big mountain and pure off piste skis) There are also models in this range suitable for people who are not strictly speaking advanced skiers yet but are keen to progress. |
|
N.B. The difference between Excellence, Performance and Progression is not so much in terms of the quality of the equipment but in skier ability level. As far as quality is concerned, all of the skis in these ranges are guaranteed to be no more than one season old which we think is a very important point as most other shops are still renting out much older equipment in their equivalent categories and for higher prices. If you look at Ski Republic, for example, most of the skis on there haven’t even been MANUFACTURED since 2006!
LIFT PASSES:
Top tip: Go to www.valdiserepass.com where you can buy a Val d’Isere VIP pass for just €10. The VIP Pass doesn’t allow you to make Mariah-like demands but does offer you discounts on your lift pass (go for the Espace Killy liftpass as this is the best option.) It can be purchased and recharged as necessary online for an initial price of €10 (it's valid for 3 years). Once ordered, your reduced rate ski pass is loaded directly to your VIP pass and sent to your home, meaning that you not only save money but don't waste a second getting on the slopes once you get to Val. Other advantages of the card are*:
- Gift Voucher for following season – receive a gift voucher for next year based on the total amount each individual spends this season. The voucher will be sent to you at the end of the season and will be valid for the 3 following years.
- Advantage in case of loss or theft – Insurance without having to pay an excess, no replacement fees if lost and a 7 day cancellation policy before the first day of skiing.
- Promotion Advantage – You'll benefit from promotional offers that will be sent to you by mail throughout the season, as well as information about snow conditions.
* Card advantages may change each year

MASSAGES:
However fit you are, you know that by day 3 your legs will be aching! So we provide an in-house massage team who will come to your chalet/hotel and cure all your aches and pains. We have experienced these massages ourselves and they are brilliant and much cheaper than most London masseurs.
| 45 minute massage |
£46 |
(Please ensure you book your massages at least 2 weeks prior to your arrival) |
| 60 minute massage |
£60 |
Once your group have all booked their massages, we will let you know what times are available (usually almost any time but it may be more limited in busy periods). |
