Luxury Ski in Ski Out Catered Chalet Holiday in Reberty, Three valleys
What an incredible start to the winter season we have had, despite the snow arriving later than expected!!
Not only is there plenty of snow on the mountains at the moment, it is snowing heavily now and we are due another 50cm on Thursday with 20-30cm either side of Thursday!
Today we visited Le Farcon in La Tania. This little Michelin-starred gem is located in the beautiful tree-lined resort of La Tania in the heart of the Three Valleys, at the far end of the La Tania village.
Fantastic conditions all over the alps at the moment and I can vouch for the Three Valleys. Despite there being some serious snowfall on a daily basis, and hence the visibility not perfect, who are we to complain?! After a horrendous lack of snow last year, this is simply beautiful and there is a fantastic amount on and off the pistes, which bodes well for a great winter season in Reberty Village!
Wow, a late arrival to the alps this year, but boy there is a lot of the white stuff all over the alps and I can vouch for a fantastic amount in Reberty Village.
As anyone who has skied in their life knows, the first time can be extremely daunting – and that is before you even see any snow! Many first-time skiers are unsure of what essentials they will need to buy, beg, borrow or steal before making their way to the snowy mountains, so Powder N Shine have put together a list of basics to aid the novice skier before departure:
Having skied in various places across Europe and North America, I have also experienced many different accommodation options to suit fluctuating budgets, from a catered chalet experience to apartments. As a fresh-faced snowboarding virgin, I was at an age where price was the determining factor in my accommodation choice. Therefore I went to Andorra and stayed in a budget hotel with a large group of friends. This was, quite frankly, excellent. [Read more...]
Skiing before Christmas is a real treat! We have some fantastic deals pre-Christmas available in our Reberty chalets inbetween December 3rd – 16th 2011. We have short breaks (3 or 4 nights) available but we are also quite flexible if the dates we are offering are not convenient for you.
Last year, the snow in the first two weeks of the season was very good, thanks to our high altitude in Reberty and we hence benefit from some excellent conditions throughout the season.
There are some great deals to be found with ski passes at this time of the year, so a 6-day Three Valley pass will cost you 157 Euros (3rd - 9th December) or 181 Euros (10th – 16th December) as opposed to 241 Euros normally!

There is a complete white-out throughout the French Alps yesterday and today. We are so pleased to see the amount of snow falling today, after such a disappointing snow fall last winter! At this rate Val Thorens will be open in a few weeks for skiing…!
We have a great feeling about the snow fall this winter, so why not consider coming to stay in one of our beautiful catered chalets in Reberty Village for a pre-Christmas short break?! Due to our high altitude at 2000m, Reberty Village is one of the best locations for a catered chalet experience throughout the whole winter season. Val Thorens is easily accessible from Reberty in case you want to ski even higher.
We have limited availability in our accommodation for pre-Christmas breaks, but we can offer you the following:
