  1. Waterproof ski jacket

  2. Waterproof ski trousers

  3. Ski gloves or mittens

  4. Ski socks (comfortable feet are essential when skiing and so it is worth investing in a few good pairs of socks)

  5. Thermal base layers (it is advisable to layer your clothing when skiing so that you can remove layers if you become too hot and replace them when needed)

  6. Light fleeces/jumpers (to layer over a base layer and under your ski jacket) – thick jumpers can be bulky and restrict movement when worn under a ski jacket

  7. Warm hat (we recommend wearing a helmet when skiing, but this can be hired in resort)

  8. Goggles and good quality sunglasses (the sun is extremely powerful in the mountains and the reflection off the snow can be very strong on the eyes)

Will I have to share a bedroom?

We offer double en-suite bedrooms for sole occupancy and also twin bedrooms for two people to share.  We allocate room-share based on gender and age-range.

If I choose the shared accommodation and the chalet is not at full capacity, will I be responsible for the cost of the additional bed in my twin bedroom?

No, if you opt for a shared bedroom, Cold Fusion will pair you with another guest for sharing. In cases where the chalet isn't fully occupied, there won't be any single supplement fee.

I have never tried skiing / snowboarding - can I still book a holiday?

After your lessons, we can show you the best places to practice your new-found skills with people who are of the same level as you.

I'm a snowboarder - will I be the only one?

Most probably not.... We have seen a growth in the popularity of snowboarding over the past few years and tend to have a 50/50 split of skiers and snowboarders in the chalet. Our chalet hosts and guides both ski and snowboard and so you will always have somebody to snowboard with.

Do I need to arrange my own insurance?

Yes. You will need to purchase personal travel/holiday insurance before you depart the UK and ensure that you will be covered for winter sports for the duration of your ski trip.

Which ski pass do I need for my holiday?

There are three ski passes available in Les Houches & Chamonix.

If you are a beginner and want to ski just the local area of Les Houches, you can purchse the chapest 'Les Houches Only Ski Pass'.

For anyone else intermediate level or above you will require the 'Mont Blanc Unlimited ski pass' which covers all 5 mountains including the local ski area of Les Houches and the main 4 mountains in Chamonix, as well as the surround resorts of Courmayeur in Italy or the Evasion Ski Area including St Gervais, Megeve and Les Contamines in France.

It also covers the extra mountain in Chamonix called the Aiguille Du Midi. This is a very famous mountain as it is the highest in Europe and it is where a famous off-piste skiing route starts from called the ‘Valle Blanche’. Many people come to Chamonix to see the views from the top of this lift and so we recommend if you get the chance to go up this lift to do so.

Therefore if you are coming to Chamonix for off-piste skiing, amazing views, or a good intermediate to advance skier it is well worth opting for the Mont Blanc Unlimted Ski pass.

On the other hand if you are a beginner and on a budget we recommend opting for the Les Houches ski pass.

SUMMARY

  • Total Beginners: Don’t pre-book a ski pass and buy it on a day to day basis for the area where you are having your lesson.

  • Intermediates to Advanced: Mont Blanc Unlimted ski pass.

For guests travelling to Serre Chevalier, we recommend purchasing the full Galaxy ski pass.

In Val Thorens, the 3 Valleys ski pass will give you full access to all areas.

How many days skiing can I do in my week holiday?

It is possible to do 6, 7 or 8 days skiing when on holiday in Chamonix and Les Houches

You are able to do this as, unlike many other companies, we are flexible on your arrival and departure times when staying in the resort. This means it is possible to ski in the afternoon on the arrival day and in the morning before your departure flight as well as the 6 days in between.

When staying in Val Thorens or Serre Chevalier the ski week is a 6 day week as the transfer times are more fixed.

Can I come with my friend or partner?

Yes, we welcome couples in all of our chalets and a small group of friends travelling together if the people travelling are looking for a social holiday. 

Which resorts can I choose from?

Les Houches – The Farmhouse
Boutique ski chalet in Les Houches with outdoor hot tub, beautiful interiors and easy links to the full Chamonix ski area. Cold Fusion - Flagship Chalet

Val Thorens – Chalet Summit
High-altitude chalet in the 3 Vallées with doorstep skiing, panoramic views and a sociable open-plan living area.
