Summer
2010 dates, prices and availability are listed below. Our previous guests
will notice that prices have risen a little bit. This is down to some
big changes we've made for summer 2010. The biggest one is that our
guiding service is now fully French-qualified - all our guides hold
either full/aspirant International Mountain Leader qualifications or
the French Mountain Bike Instructoraward (MCF). In addition, we're running
more accommodation, more vans and more guides. This will make sure that
everyone rides in a group which suits their level of ability. We think
our prices still represent very, very good value for money. There are
no hidden costs (airport transfers and packed lunches are all included)
and our level of service is up there with the very best (for 2010 there
will be 5 people in the White Room team looking after a maximum of 16
riders).
All
of our prices are per person, per week and include:
- 5 days of 100%
fully-qualified guiding (why is this important?)
- On-trail coaching
& skills sessions
- Transfers from
Geneva airport on Saturdays
- 7
nights accommodation in Chalet TinTin
- Breakfast
and 3 -course dinner on 6 nights of the week
- Packed-lunch
(we provide the bread and fillings, you make the sannies!)
- 5
days of van-assisted riding
- Transfers
from/to Bourg Saint Maurice train/bus station if required
- Unlimited
beer, wine and soft drinks
- Afternoon
tea & cake
- Bed-linen
and towels
- Wireless
internet access
- Extra
5% discount off web prices at The
Bike Chain (total of 15% off shop prices)
What's not included:
- Dinner
on our night off
- Any
spares from our stock you may use
- Lift
passes at any of the resorts we might ride at. Passes cost from 9€
to 18€ per day, depending on the resort we're riding at. Typically,
we'll need a lift pass 3 or 4 days per week.
- Insurance - we
can't stress enough how important insurance is! From personal experience,
a major claim can run to 40,000€ or more. Your EHIC card does
NOT provide sufficient cover - it covers you for only 80% of your
medical bills and provides no cover at all for mountain rescue, repatriation,
etc.
- Flights
Supplements &
Discounts:
- Previous guests
- anyone who has stayed with us before, winter or summer, gets a 5%
loyalty discount .
- Singles -
there
are no single supplements to pay, as long as you're happy to share
with someone of the same sex or to take the Mezzanine room in TinTin.
If you would like to guarantee a single room, then we charge a supplement
of £50 (subject to availability).
- Children
- we offer a 25% discount for children aged 12 or under
- Longer
stays - if you want to stay longer than one week, let us know
and we'll give you a quote at an attractive rate
- Self-drive/train
travel - if you're driving out yourself or you're coming by train
and therefore don't need an airport transfer, let us know and we should
be able to offer you a discount (depends on how many people are in
your group).
- Bunks - If
you really want the cheapest week possible, then volunteering to take
one of the spots in the
bunks under the stairs gets you a £30 discount. Otherwise,
these go to the last people to book on any given week - get your reservation
in early! Note that with the changes we've made to the accommodation
for summer 2010, we don't necessarily expect to have to use the bunks
every week - it should be quite rare! Email us if you're worried you're
going to get put in there and you're not keen!
- Bike Clubs
- If
you run or are a member of a Mountain Bike club, get in touch - we
offer discounts for club trips.
For each week,
there may be more than one type of trip available. Prices for specialist
weeks are the same as the standard price listed unless otherwise stated.
