Afternoon,

Does anyone know how prices compare to the UK? Have any sales kicked in yet?

We have a small group coming out a week tomorow for an extended weekend and 2 guys are considering buying ski's. Although I'm not sure how I'll get 5 pairs of skis, 5 adults & bags in the estate car for the journey back to Geneva!!

Thanks in advance,

Greg

Hi Greg, welcome to J2ski

You sure about your destination? There's not much skiing there, and no nightlife. You may as well head for Verbier, you have to pass the turn off on the motorway.

Not sure if there are any sales on yet in Switzerland, and the exchange rate is much less favourable than a year ago. I am reliably told that in Zinal a pair of Movement Black Rose with Marker Baron bindings is on sale at CHF 1100. In the UK the ski is GBP379, and the binding GBP209.

You will however be passing a large Stockli store at Vevey on the way from Geneva

Good luck with the return trip
