2010-11 Ski Season Prices

As enquiries are already coming in for the next ski season, we've had to get the calculator out earlier than we're used to! And...we've reduced our rates. Why, when we're one year into a three-year programme of upgrading the chalet? "It's simples"...as the ad goes...interest rates are down.

On average, next season's rates are 4% down on this year but, of course, rates for the most popular weeks of New Year and Half Term particularly (which we could sell many times over) are up. We've calculated that we're 40% less than an equivalent week in Val d'Isere, for those of you who still compare Les Contamines with Val de Sloane Square.

There's no comparison, of course; YSE's Chalet de Pierre (sleeps 10, 5 baths 2 showers) or La Grande Sassiere (sleeps 12, 4 baths 2 showers) will cost you £13,320 (€15,270) for a peak week at La Pierre (assuming you negotiate a free 10th place for having filled the chalet) or £15,235 (€17,650, same assumption applied for having filled La Grande Sassiere).

OK, so those are catered prices, including charter flights from LGW and transfers to the resort (3 hours from Grenoble!). But our peak weeks of New Year and Half Term are €6,700 and €6,500 at our self-catered rates. That leaves you on average €10,000 to fly 10 people to GVA and transfer them to Les Contamines, plus food & drink for a week. If the food and drink for 10 is €3,000, then that leaves you €7,000 for your flights and transfers! What's Net Jets' number?!
