Ski package example: 7-night group trip to Tignes, France

Why they picked this

Each apartment has two bedrooms and sleeps up to four, so twelve people split three ways with a kitchen and a living room in each one. Room only gave a group this size the option to cook some nights rather than book a table for twelve every evening.

Why they picked this

Birmingham runs direct to Grenoble on a Saturday, which is the shortest way into the Tarentaise from the Midlands and under two hours each way. A late-morning departure meant twelve people did not need an airport hotel the night before, and the group was in resort for dinner.

Why they picked this

Grenoble to Tignes is around three hours, up the Tarentaise valley and then the climb to 2,100m. A group of twelve with ski bags fills a shuttle on its own, so a private transfer ran to the flight times rather than waiting at the airport for other passengers.

Why they picked this

Tignes has enough terrain for a week on its own, but the standard pass also opens Val d’Isère across the ridge, for 300km in total. A group of twelve rarely skis as one, and the wider area gave the beginners and the off-piste half of the group somewhere separate to go.

Why they picked this

Extras are chosen member by member, so a big group ends up with a different list for everyone. Seven hired skis, boots and a helmet in resort instead of flying with their own, ten took hold luggage, and nobody booked lessons.
