Squeezing The Pips-Brochure Pricing

Are you staying in Morillon village or Morillon 1100? And are you going there because it's prettier and quieter than Flaine - or what? Does the chalet do the transfers as well? I will be very interested to read your report, when you get back.

Transfers do worry me, when I'm going DIY. Last year the Feb half-term ski train was an hour late getting to Moutiers and the bus (which I'd booked and paid for) had gone. So, we had to get a taxi, which luckily wasn't too expensive because Moutiers is only 15 miles from Courchevel and we joined up with some people we'd met in the train. But I suppose I lost about £30 in pre-paid bus tickets.

At least the train wasn't diverted!

But suppose I'd got a plane and I was meant to land at Chambery and I'd got transfers booked and the plane was diverted to Geneva, and the buses had all gone. A taxi from there to Courchevel would have been astronomical. I would guess quite a few people end up staying in a hotel in Geneva or wherever due to late or diverted planes. I reckon you must have been pretty lucky so far, never to have been on a diverted plane :D
