3 Valleys Lift Pass

I am out for 3 days skiing later this month and will load my lift pass on line although have not tried to do this before.

Looking at the prices for this season a 3 day 3 valleys pass for an adult is 144 EU. As my skiing days are Thursday, Friday & Saturday, will I be allowed to buy a 2 day pass which is 96.80 EU and a "Journey 3 Valleys Saturday pass" which this year has 20% off and is only 38.50 EU.

Making the total for 3 days 135.50 EU instead of 144 EU.

Wouldn't everyone do this? I cannot see anywhere on the S3V website which says you cannot do this.

Can anyone comment?

Thanks

Odd anacronisms over offers on lift passes have always been around.

I wonder if for most holidaymakers the complexity of buying a pass for this day and another for that is just not worth the hastle?

Ah but now you can load your little plastic card on-line it should not be any hassle but it might not let me do it!

E-mail them and ask: backoffice@s3v.com

they responded to me within a couple of days.

Or have you got spare skip@ss (blue) from another resort? for example an Alpe d'huez pass can be 'recharged' on the 3V system. If so, why not put one purchase on the first card and the other on the second [only carry one at a time in your pocket though!)

Did you pay the extra for your existing lift pass not all are POS passes, only these can be reloaded

I am not sure about the 20% off on Saturdays I have a 3v liberty pass which does give 20% off Saturdays but I had to pay 30euro for this initially to benefit from the discounts

I would suggest trying to load the card as you have suggested but beware it could end up costing you more, not sure if you can cancel once purchased
Good luck

You pay €3 the first time for the card...You're right it must say "Skip@ss" on it and I understand it must be the ones written in blue (not black)

More from the 3V web site:

"Different types of pass cards available:
Free pass card, load once at the cash desks, > usable with all types of passes except for season passes.

The €3 P@S card, reloadable from your home or other locations for your next stays => usable with all types of passes.
The cards can be replaced in case of loss or theft, in this event, one day will be taken off the pass and a fee of €10 will be required."

I know I paid €3 for it last year and bought it home so I could use it again but am unsure now if it is a P@S card. Will be gutted if its not as really wanted to sort it in advance. It does say on the website that you can cancel for a full refund upto 24 hours before so if i buy the wrong thing I should be able to get my cash back. I will have to wait until I get home to check it now!

who cares to much hassle :?:
