Hi
Can anyone recommend any reputable holiday companies to travel with?
Planning for next June. Around 10/15 people going so need to be experienced.
Cheers all
riders refuge are ace, fantastic food and close to lifts.
For that size group just rent a ski chalet. Chalet that size for a week will be around £1000 to £2000 depending how big/posh. Eat out or do a big spag bol/Chile/etc for dinner. Fill the fridge with beer. You'll have to sort your own travel anyway. You don't really need guiding there but that can be arranged locally if you want it.
http://www.skimorzine.com/ are reet good. MB Swindon have been at their Chalet Flo for the last 3 years and its been ideal.
Skiblueridge assuming you don't mind Les Gets vs Morzine are good, very hospitable. They also run excellent airport pickup service for small or large groups. Have stayed with them a couple of times for biking.

Having done that it was fun, but like herding cats at times. All goes well until the guys who can't cook have to take their turn or there is a flounce over who was drinking more/less beer than the others etc.
The simplicity of getting back and having everything sorted out is bliss, really makes it a holiday rather than a bike trip. Add in some good local knowledge about routes/linking stuff up and conditions and it can be really worth it. Also booking the place out with just you and your mates means you get to work out groups etc. yourselves.
If your flying just be aware of the max number of bikes/plane thing
We have just booked a 12 bed chalet with Riders Refuge and found them very reasonable
Try Ride Morzine as well they should be able to sort you out.
A large group of us used [url= http://www.alpinehighs.com/catered-ski-chalet-accommodation-morzine.html ]Alpine Highs[/url] twice, the prices were good and no argueing over cooking as Dave does it all.
There are plenty of Taxi companys for transfers if you are flying to Geneva and as already said you dont really need a guide in The PDS area
Ride Morzine every time, the hosts Carl & Sian are TOTAL legends and their advice routes and maps are gold, the food and wine is superb.
Excellent.
Cheered everyone
