Together with Cornwall based tour operators Hucksters Lodge we have made it really easy for you to get away to the snow,

For many years we have arranged holidays to the Vallandry, Les Arcs in the Paradiskis (Les Arcs/La Plagne) area which is one of the best in the world, with great snow records and offering a huge amount of skiing and boarding. This year we are addressing the poor exchange rate to make our holidays even better value. For a pre payment of £10 we will provide a baguette and chocolate bar for your lunch so we can all avoid the £6 bowl of chips and as well as afternoon tea we can have apres beers at £1 a bottle making this brilliant ski area even more affordable.

In addition to Vallandry we are also offering trips to Bovec in Slovenia which has many very good reasons for you consider this year. The link to Sella Nevea is in place for the coming season giving Bovec a much bigger ski area for both on and off piste skiing. The cost of food and drink is a lot less in Slovenia compared to the rest of Europe, a beer on the mountain is still only €1.50!. Long weekends and short mid week breaks are available here so you can usually take advantage of any dumps of snow at short notice.

The reason we keep returning to Vallandry is that the situation is perfect.  The Hucksters Lodge is perched right on the edge of the piste, a moment's ski away from the chairlift and ski school meeting point and so far we have always been able to ski in and ski out. Ideal to return for lunch, either for a sandwich or a meal in the  attached  bar/restaurant that has a spacious sun terrace, great for relaxed lunches and sociable evenings - it really is hard to beat.

We travel by coach from Plymouth, with strategic pick-up points along the way to Dover, leaving on a Friday so that we can usually get out on the mountain by Saturday afternoon.  Then on the final Saturday, we don't leave until late afternoon, so you can get up to seven and a half days skiing or boarding instead of the usual six.

We take a complete cross section of people; ages have ranged from 10 months to 76, with everything in between,  and the ability level extends from total novice to instructor, so there really is a place for everyone.

The prices include coach travel, half board accommodation and six day local area lift pass. If you choose to fly the price includes transfers from Geneva and Chambery. We pick up at 12.00 and 18.00 on the Saturdays.
