Lift pass help required.

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 13:45:10 GMT

I've been offered three, 8 day passes for Les Trois Vallee's. They were bought last year in Meribel but are unused.

I have been assured that they are still valid until April 2010, is this likely?

I am also staying in Les Menuires, will I still be able to use them if I am not starting out in Meribel every day?

(They are the credit card type and they were bought by someone working in Meribel last season.)

I would be surprised if a lift pass from one season was still valid for the next, unless it is clearly stated - but the only way you'll get a definitive answer is to ask the Tourist/Lift Office directly.

If they are valid, and Three Valleys, then they should be fine in Les Menuires but - again - check with the Lift Office.

You feeling lucky? 8)

When I went to Les Menuires last year our Neilsen chalet hosts told us to keep the payment reciepts for our lift passes with us because sometimes they ask to see them as well, kind of like bus inspectors.

No one ever did ask though.

I know that season passes are time dated, not sure about weeeklies.

I would be wary, and would look for the prior agreement of the lift company. It would be quite easy to ask.

No she wanted GBP400 for all three. Too late now she's just emailed saying I'm too late someone has offered her GBP450. :(

Snowb4ndit,
I think you have had a lucky escape, myself.

I have never really recovered from the time we spent GBP12,000- on milk quota, buying it direct from the farmer, because we thought we'd save the auctioneer's commission, and it turned out the farmer was an undischarged bankrupt living under a false name who had sold the same quota back to the government, and the Official Receiver seized the money and refused to give it back even though we didn't get the quota :shock: :shock: :shock:.

Our solicitor sorted it out, and we did eventually get our money back. But we had several months of severe anxiety about it, and I learned my lesson - don't ever buy anything that 'fell off the back of a lorry', or appears to be a suspiciously good bargain, and always buy from a reputable source.

It may have been genuine, of course, but I suppose you'll never know now.
