What is lift pass insurance ?

Insurance is highly recommended : Most travel insurance offers only limited cover on the actual piste. Insurance covers search and rescue costs, transport, medical expenses, lift pass cancellation and suspension, lift closure due to lack of snow and damage to rental equipment. Worst case scenario - a helicopter to Annecy hospital costs €850, so this really is a money saver.

Can you get our lift pass for us ?

In both resorts we can save you time and pick the lift pass up for you (we can use the Tour operators queue and then have the passes waiting for you when you get into resort, we queue so you don't have to !!) We can also reuse hands free passes saving you 3 euros, not much but enough for a beer / vin chaud.

Passes ordered through Skiology have to be paid for in cash on the second ski day of the holiday.

What is a shared transfer 

All shared transfers involve sharing a vehicle with other customers who have similar flight times and are going to the same, or a nearby resort.

A Shared Transfer may involve a short amount of time waiting at the airport for other customers. The rules defining the waiting time for the different types of shared transfers are described below. However, in all cases if a flight is delayed by more than one-hour then the customer will have to wait for the next available transfer, which could be on the next day if no further shared transfers are available.

Pick-up times for departures are set by ski-lifts and they will send an SMS message the day before they are due to leave with their exact pick up time. If the pick up time is within the allowed time window (described below) then these are not flexible and cannot be changed - if a customer wishes to choose their pick up time, they must book a Private Transfer.

These are the different areas from Geneva Airport, where Shared Transfers are on offer this season and some of the key rules that relate to each (a full break down of out Terms & Conditions can also be found at http://www.ski-lifts.com/AdditionalInformation/Terms.aspx

• The maximum waiting time for a customer having met the Ski-Lifts 
representative in the arrivals hall is 45 minutes. 
• Pick up times for departures are between 3 to 4 hours before the scheduled 
flight departure time (3.5 to 4.5 for Avoriaz). 
• These rules only apply for flights between 09:00 & 21:00, outside of these 
times, the maximum waiting time at the airport increases to 1.5 hours and 
the pick up time window changes to 3 to 5 hours before the flight time (3.5 to 
5.5 for Avoriaz). between 3 to 4.5 hours before the 
scheduled flight departure time.

Les Carroz

• All transfers are door to door 
• Transfers are only available for flights between 09:00 & 21:00. If customers 
book a transfer for a flight outside of these times, then they will be picked up 
on the closest available transfer but this may be the next day.

representative in the arrivals hall is 90 minutes.

Priority Shared Transfers

Les Carroz

• All transfers are door to door 
• There is no waiting time for a customer having met the Ski-Lifts 
representative in the arrivals hall - as soon as the group is ready to go, the 
transfer departs. 
• Pick up times for departures are between 3 to 3.5 hours before the 
scheduled flight departure time (3¼ to 3¾ for Flaine, Samoens 1600 & Sixt 
Fer a Cheval). 
• Passengers who are delayed by more than one-hour on arrival may have to 
wait for the next available transfer, but this will always be provided on the 
same day as the original service was booked for.

 

Any advice on driving there ?

The journey takes about 8 hours so pack some lunch, there are plenty of picnic stops or find somewhere nice to stop for lunch.

You will need to account for maybe a tank and a half of fuel and tolls too. Both chalets have parking and there are directions on the contact us page of our site.

How is the night life ?

Well the brothers would not choose a place with no night life ! To be honest - we find it perfect !

Morzine is a great night out ! Lots of bars and a few clubs too, live music and lots of touring bands / D.Js.

Carroz is a little quieter on the apres ski front however there are some great bars, a night club and everything from Karaoke to cocktails !
