When I went to VC it was with SnowTrex, it seems that the reason they have such good deals are that their accommodation is usually a bit of a trek from the nearest ski lift and/or nearest airport. They were very cheap though!

I wouldn't go back to VC, we had a ball but the town was far too quiet for us (and we are not party animals).

The Snowtrex appartment was good.

Don't forget you can also take the train, if you are within a reasonable distance of St Pancras.

http://www.valcenis.com/acces-uk.htm

e.g. St Pancras, London, to Modane (for Val Cenis) 270 euros return, change in Paris, leave at 10-25 a.m. arrive 19-25 Modane (24 Km from Val Cenis). And then take the bus.

Using that Snowtrex website I got a total price of £245 per person for 4 people staying in an apartment for 4 on 8th Jan for 7 days, not including flights but including ski passes and V.I.P. ski and boot hire.

Edit

I forgot to say that the Altibus bus is 15 euros return from Modane to Val Cenis.

I took the snow coach to Modane and then Altibus to VC, £140 return (altogether) per person. Never again! Far too much faffing around and very uncomfortable despite the Snowcoach picking us up 100 metres from my house.

I prefer car to airport - plane to next airport - bus/car to resort. :wink:

Snowbandit,
Going by Snow Coach is one option I'm sure I could never stick. I'm not surprised you don't fancy doing that again. But I'd much rather go by train than fly, if at all possible. Apart from anything else it's the long transfers from the airport up those windy mountain roads that make me sick. But I can survive half an hour or so in an Altibus bus from the station okay :D
