SNOWCOACH

Having been with Snowcoach many times over the years, we were really let down by their penny pinching last year and the effect it had on the holiday. Has anyone used snowcoach this year, in particular in St Gervais, I would be interested to know what the standards were like this year. Not expecting the Ritz but it let itself down last year, including the coach breaking down on the journey to pick us up and on our way home, not great when it sells itself on the travel!

Hi Brianandlucy - I've never used Snowcoach, but have been to St.Gervais a few times, including this Christmas & New Year. The Hotel Terminus is in le Fayet, which is a few miles from St.Gervais. The coach brings you to St.Gervais & collects you at the end of the day - we ocassionally saw the coach in the car park. I'm not sure if it will also take you to Les Contamines - it's covered on the same pass & is well worth a visit, particularly if conditions aren't so good in St.Gervais/Megeve.

We had excellent conditions, but I know there has been little fresh snow since. Eggman is there now & plans to be skiing tomorrow, so watch this space for an update on conditions.
