Les Arcs Season 2014 - 2015, New Thread for this season starts on page 29.

Thanks chris for this, i am going to be calling Crystal ASAP as i have already paid for my lift passes costing £560.
Booking via that link will save me about £140.
I wonder what they will say.

Hi there, like AliG I too have a question about rental...this time inVallandry. I've heard the Ski Set in the apartments I'm staying in are rubbish. Does anyone have a recommendation? I was looking on Ski Republic's website...wonder if anyone has used them? Cheers. :D

£560, is that a family Paradiski pass from your T.O.? That sounds good anyway. Where are you seeing £420...I'm getting quoted £560 from the liftpass website and my T.O. was quoting £680 :shock:

But the La Plagne side of the website isn't going live until 22nd October. (ummm....wondering if I can buy from the Les Arc side and use it first on La Plagne side?)

Not family, 2 Adults 1 Child

Crystal Pricing for les arcs pass only:

2 Adults @ £202
1 Child @ £153

Total£557

Les Arcs current pricing:

2 Adults @ £150
1 Child @ £112

Total £412

I have spoke to Crystal this morning and their first response was that i could not cancel my lift passes (already paid for) unless i paid a £35 admin fee. Which, whilst annoying, i would be prepared to do as i would still be saving £110. But she stated the fee applied to all lift passes :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

I explained that i thought that was a little unfair and she has gone away to see what she can do. I am expecting a call back later.

Hmmmmm...the perils of package holidays.

Don't like 'um.

Bloody TO's rip off merchants :evil:

Booked hotel golf 12/1/13 with neilsen(still cant believe the deal we got) for 4 after having a fantastic time in les arc in feb 2012 and loved the area. so i have a q about lift pass as we have not booked yet - suspect snowcrazy chris knows the answer:
neilsen discovery £210 online les arc web site £205 so nothing to beef about on that. however the leas arc website does say that book before 31/10(and it asks what dates you will ski)and it gives 15% discount which roughly equates to £175. so this is now the question i have - despite the fact the site says you get 15 % discount the help pages say you can only order online 4 days before you use the pass. text below is copied from the les arc web site.

any feedback appreciated..

I think i take all that to mean that you must order at least four days before if you intend to collect them or at least ten days before if you want them posting.

I am ordering mine today for postage to my house after Crystal kindly refunded the payment i made to them without a admin fee. It took a bit of negotiating but they finally saw my pov.
