New ski/boarding season

[EuroTrotters]

Nuisance in a free world isn’t it ? You would think foreign countries like tourists spending lots of money on their countries, pleased that we don’t have to adhere to the whole Schengen saga , we just travel as long as we want.

I think it's very unfair if in Spain as an example. You purchase a house pre-brexit and Spain will not offer you a long stay Visa.

But, up until February 2025, if you buy a house over €500.000 you can get a Golden Visa.

There loss, I think we will spend more time in the UAE and Ski in Georgia

It is weird, if you own property you should be able to spend as much time in it as you like

Son in law is looking for somewhere different to tignes this year, but as they go in school holidays at Easter it needs to be high (2000 m+) for guaranteed snow.

got to be Val Thorens in the 3 valleys Olley. It's where we always went with the kids in Half Term for a few reasons.

1) it's high 2300 meters and if it ain't white in VT its white nowhere.
2) you can book the car park, lacks facilities other than water and waste but you can and people do use Gennys, (responsibly)
3) nice distance, easy drive

You could go lower as suggested and stop at Les Men, but you can't book it and it can be very very busy, leaving you parked on the road.

also VT will never ever bore you of it's snow.... The 3 valleys is ace

Thanks haggers I will mention it to him.
They usually book self catering flats so only need parking for a car.
We all went once in the RV to Les Deux Alpes, and stayed at Venosc but my wife will not go again.
So they will be with there usual crowd, pity as I now get a free ski pass.

Depends on the resort but French are usually around 71-2 years old, tignes was 71 and Les deaux about the same if I remember.
A quick Google and apparently some Swiss are 64 but only for women.
A very decent saving as I think tignes is at least £400 now for the week.
I haven't been since 2019 so I was looking forward to that.
