Having gone through the waiting game of France opening their boarders, our group were very pleased that we held out and didn't change our holiday to another destination. Working with the teams in the UK who provided us sound updates and advice and options if things didn't work out. This was a sound platform to what to expect for the rest of the holiday once we arrived in Avoriaz.
We were met by the VIP team, Marc, Charlie and Ellie who accompanied us to our accommodation and helped with all the luggage to the rooms. The team then assisted with our ski hire collection and passes making it very seamless.
The accommodation was very well presented and had all the things you need for a ski holiday with great views out over Avoriaz. Only downside were the bunk beds where we thought they may be long enough for an adult but weren't, however there was another single bed that could be used.
Our hosts Ellie and Alex were great throughout the week always on hand to answer questions and give some advice on the resort. The food that was prepared from breakfast / cake and dinner were superb. Nothing was too much trouble from cooking different eggs in the morning to swapping out a meal in the evening if someone wasn't keen. One suggestion would be to advise people what the menu will be for the week in advance if possible as whilst our group had no food requirements sometimes there may be a dish that someone isn't keen on.
On the hosts night off we booked into Cabane through Charlie. We would advise booking this ASAP, however I would advise your guests that its not the cheapest place to eat but the quality was worth every penny for our group. Also to request sitting upstairs near to where the entertainment is (great music duo playing modern lounge music). If you only get offered downstairs I would not recommend going through with the booking as you may as well be in a pub and its not value for money then.
Departure was easy going as well from helping with moving bags at 6am to getting the final transfer back to Geneva via private hire. I would recommend this as well so you have flexibility despite the additional cost which isn't too bad between 6 people.
All in all we had a great holiday and much needed after a 2 year wait and really would recommend VIP Ski for the holidays in Avoriaz. We wish you and the team every success and hope that you enjoy the rest of your season.
All the best
