Skiers hit the road with cost-cutting coach service
Smart skiers are taking the low road to the Alps this winter to help cut the costs of their annual ski holidays.
Coach travel to European ski resorts has rocketed after research recently published in the Telegraph found that 47 out of 50 journeys are cheaper if travelled by coach.
Discerning skiers and families are taking advantage of door to door week long deals which avoid the check-in queues, lost baggage, and airport transfers to whisk their way to resorts such as Morzine, Brides Les Bains in the Three Valleys and Chamonix.
With the price of oil staying stubbornly over $100 a barrel, flying has become increasingly expensive for families, adding hundreds of pounds to the annual ski holiday.
With a new fleet of luxury coaches, the specialist ski operator offers overnight coach services which allow skiers to wake up in their resort ready for a day on the slopes.
The luxury coaches come with a short check in time of only 30 minutes to maximise comfort with skiers able to reclaim their skis and be on the slopes within an hour of arriving at their destination. In addition due to overnight travel, two extra days of skiing on the slopes makes this a very attractive option.
The new fleet of luxury coaches come with a premium class service with extended legroom, adjustable backrests and a reading light for each passenger. Other facilities for all travellers include hot and cold drinks, refrigerator, toilets, seat back tables and air-conditioning. They also offer the very best in safety with ABS anti-lock braking systems and ESP Stability Control.
