We are trying to find a few people to live with, from June 28 -> July 27.

We have a reservation for a very nice appartment for 6 people (Hotel Le Cairn). The price is around 90€ per week per person.


If you are going, and have nowhere to stay - send me a PM and we will discuss it :-)

Actually sounds pretty dope. I don't know if I'd be down for a whole month though, and need to discuss this first with a friend who might come. Do you want people who can stay the whole time or would you let someone join for 2 weeks or something?

Are you just gonna be skiing & doing other shit in the area, or is there some kind of camp that you would go to?

More info appreciated!

You could easily stay for only two weeks, that would be fine.

The apartment has 6-8 beds and costs 350 € per week.

We are not joining any camp. We have both been going the past two years on a camp, so we will probably be seeing them a lot for the two weeks they are down there.
We are just planning on skiing almost everyday, taking it easy going to the pool, chilling, going out a few times.

4 persons: 62,5 €
5 persons: 50 €
6 persons: 41,7 €
7 persons: 35,7 €
8 persons: 31,3 €

Everyone who's interested, should hit me up ASAP to get in :).

This seems unreasonably cheap, and it seems odd that the apartment is in a hotel. Does it have a kitchen?

Passes are expensive. Check them out on 2alpesnet.com . If you shape everyday, you will get a free pass, so we are doing that for two weeks total.

Lift pass are 32€ a day if Im not mistaken, and as mentioned, you can work for 2 hours as a digger and the end of the day and get a free pass for the next day.
Life in L2A is a bit expensive, but you cand definitely managed to stay and ski there for without spending too much. 300€/week and you're easily good to go !

Remember that you cant be certain to get the digger job every day. Some days the mountain is closed, you're hungover and don't go up, or there is simply to many people wanting the job. Going early in the season will make it easier to get it, as there won't be as many people, and the park guys will get to know you.

I dont think there is camping there, and you would prob be asked to leave if you just pitch your tent somewhere. Living out of a car/van is prob better, but it gets fucked in the long run. You could shower at the pool, it's included in the liftpass.

However flats are dirtcheap, like 100-150 euros a week, you can't afford that?

100-150 each? or 100-150 in total? i've been looking quite a bit for flats and the best i can find are about £200 in total. we were thinking of renting a flat for one week and camping the other

A quick search on their website revealed lots of 3 person flats for around 200 euros a week. That's dirtcheap.
