Stop 7 · What to wear, hire and bring

Gear and packing

  • Hired: skis or board, boots, poles
  • −5 to −15°C in January
  • Bulky layers on the plane

Everything hard is hired in our building. Bring warm, waterproof layers: roughly −5 to −15°C in January.

Read the details8 more facts

Everything hard is hired at the Intersport in our building: skis or boards, boots and poles. What you bring is warm, waterproof layers and the small things that are miserable to forget at 3,000 m. Val Thorens is the highest resort in Europe, so plan for cold: roughly −5 to −15°C in January, colder in the wind at the top.

  • Layersthermal base layer (merino or synthetic, never cotton), then a fleece or light puffer, then a waterproof ski jacket and salopettes
  • Hands and headwaterproof gloves or mittens (mittens are warmer) with thin liners, a neck warmer, a beanie for the evenings
  • Eyes and skingoggles with a low-light lens for flat light, sunglasses for lunch, SPF 50 and SPF lip balm; the sun burns at altitude even in January
  • Socksone pair of proper ski socks in the boot, never two; bring three pairs
  • Hiredskis or board, boots and poles; helmets only if they are on the booking, so check yours or bring one
  • Don’t buyboots or skis for one week. For clothes, borrow first; otherwise Decathlon’s Wedze range, TK Maxx or Mountain Warehouse
  • On the planewear the ski jacket and your bulkiest layers so they don’t take up bag space
  • Pool and saunatight swim trunks (French pools usually ban board shorts) and flip-flops

The sixth day is free, which changes the maths. A 4-day pass saves only £71 on the full six days, so for anyone who will ski most of the week the 6-day pass is the obvious buy. It is only the true first-timers — two days on the free carpets, then the half-price EasyRider pass — for whom a full pass is money wasted.

Tariff from the lift company sheet Jason shared on 16 September, priced there in euros (€421 for six days) and converted at €1 = £0.85. The sheet does not print the season, so check the price when sales open.

Hire runs Sunday to Friday: six days for most of us, four for Sarah, Jason V and Angie. Lifts run roughly 09:00–16:30 in January. Group lessons, for those taking them, are mornings with ESF — meeting points are under the Ski schools chip in the explorer. Beginners start on the free carpets; anyone crossing to Méribel or Courchevel turns for home by 15:30. Friday evening: hand the kit back to Intersport (open until 19:30).

Most whole apartments sold on booking.com and VRBO are non classé, which triggers the 5% proportional rate. The gap between best and worst case on the French week is €246 across the group. Ask the owner for the classification in writing. Also check whether the platform already collected it — since 2019 they legally must for non-professional lessors, so you can be charged twice at the desk.

Flight traps · verified

  • BA London City → Innsbruck stops 9 January 2027. Runs 12 Dec – 9 Jan only. Does not operate on Sat 16 Jan.
  • Luton → Innsbruck is Sunday-only. Useless for a Saturday changeover.
  • Ski carriage differs structurally. BA absorbs skis into the checked allowance; easyJet and Jet2 charge for skis on top of a hold bag with no weight pooling.

Saturday Innsbruck arrivals that do work: BA2618 LGW 08:25→11:25 · easyJet EZY8693 LGW 07:00→09:55 · BA0686 LHR 10:00→13:05.

Two operational moves worth making

  • Book the Val Thorens transfer private and request the Moûtiers supermarket stop at booking time. Ski-Lifts permits stops on private transfers only, with advance notice. Resort shelf prices run 10–30% higher.
  • Sherpa closes 12:30–16:00 and keys hand over "at the latest 5pm". A Saturday afternoon arrival can land with no shop open — the valley stop is the reliable fix for night one.

No group discount exists at either resort

Les 3 Vallées “Family Flex”max 2 adults, needs 1 child — you do not qualify
Ski Arlberg groups1 free per 20 paying, company/club letterhead — you do not qualify
Hire shopsno published adult group rate at Intersport or Sport 2000

Do not budget a group discount. The only real cross-sell found: Audacius (the ski school formerly called Prosneige) gives 15% off kit if you book lessons with them.

  • Several properties appear twice at different prices — Les Chalets du Thorens £1,549 and £1,858, Le Portillo, the Superbe duplex. Different units or capture dates.
  • 14 Saalbach rows are "2 Apartments" — the group is split across two units, which breaks the stay-together requirement.

Food

Where to eat in each resort, and the one place the two source documents disagree on money.

Two food budgets, both defensible — pick one deliberately

BasisTrip ATrip BWhat it assumes
Lean USED IN COSTS TAB€400 ≈ £339€450 ≈ £381Self-catered week. Breakfast and most dinners in the chalet, packed or cheap mountain lunches, a couple of nights out.
Eating out€600–700€650–750Mountain lunch most days, dinner out most nights, drinks and a few après stops.

The ~£2,081pp all-in figure on the Costs tab uses the lean number. If the group actually intends to eat out the way the lists below imply, add roughly £180–250pp to that total. Do not quote the lean all-in to people and then plan the eating-out week.

For a group of 10: three or four Savoyard dinners, one Italian or pizzeria night, one nicer dinner. Booking only high-end restaurants is how a food budget doubles.

The cheapest food decision is made before you fly

Both weeks are self-catered in every option currently on the table, so the food number is set by how many dinners happen in the chalet. Booking one supermarket delivery for the arrival day — and agreeing up front how many nights are eating-out nights — is worth more than any individual restaurant choice on this page. Menu prices are live and were captured for planning only; re-check before booking anything that needs a deposit.

Part week counts as a body in the chalet but flags that they are not there for all seven nights — it matters when the bill gets split.

Accommodation at the current headcount

Whole-property prices from the self-catered sheet, divided by the number you set. Rows dim when the group outgrows them.

Board plans Trip A at 10.

Everything on the board is now whole-property self-catered, so the price does divide by the headcount — every extra person genuinely lowers the per-head cost, right up to the property’s capacity. Watch the capacity column rather than the price.
