That's a bummer,Finn. Don't suppose you paid by credit card?

Finn,
I would be a bit worried about losing my money, if I used them. This is what the Investors Chronicle had to say about the company - Crown Holdings (London) Ltd in September.

Presumably one has to pay upfront for delivery later?

I had a nasty fright when the London Scottish bank went bust, as I had money with them, but fortunately we got it all back from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, including interest. However, I don't think the FSCS would cover this sort of transaction.

Bandit & I have for several years, both used Direct Travel. (Assuming you haven't changed away from them, Bandit) Off piste cover description:

Can I ski and snowboard off-piste?

Yes. Our winter sports travel policies allow you complete freedom of the mountains (as long as not against local authority advice) apart from in the USA and Canada where winter sports outside the resort boundaries must be accompanied by a locally qualified guide.

That is clear. Now I have to find out the local authority warning and advice, in advance, for 4 different resorts. -(

Yes, Esrg, but I do agree with Tino, Tignes & VT are much more expensive, both day and evening costs.

A skiwelt lift pass covers all the lifts on the piste map. The Kitz logo, shows where you need to buy a kitz pass. You can choose to buy a pass to cover both. Look on the skiwelt website for pass tarifs.
