Hi we are looking for rental shops who would like to utilise our booking engine to take orders for skis and snowboard rental. We take a 10% deposit and then payment is completed on location. You get a fully functional transaction management right up to invoicing. If you fear overbooking then you can limit the number of bookings just by logging in, though if you choose the system can manage to the nth degree each boot or board you have and know if it is booked out or not. This level of detail is unlikely to be required and you can simply set up a suite of products as follows for an example.

St Anton Vs Courchevel

On few fronts are these two resorts similar indeed they both have lifts and snow (this week has been exceptionally warm for February and we have had no snow in the Arlberg region and next week it will be getting desperate) but I digress.The types of runs are also very different. Not being much of an off piste skier, I won't comment on this except to say in this regard there is enough of this in both resorts to keep anyone happy.

The Height of Fashionable
St Anton sits at 1300 m and Courchevel sits vertically between 3 resorts with a free bus linking them or they can be linked with ski or lift. If we look at Courchevel 1850 it sits, well surprisingly at 1850m and is the highest of the three Courchevels the others being 1550 and 1300.[val thorens sits the highest at 2300m and is the ugliest resort but stunning runs!]. Even being much lower at 1300 St Anton has a good snow record.

I recently had the pleasure of skiing with Alan in the three valleys France or le trois vallés.
Three main resorts make up the area Courchevel 1850, Val Thorens and Meribel.



There are other places to stay but the key is just to be close inside the area consisting of these 3 valleys as it has an extensive network of lifts and a good variety of runs. You can do all three in a day easily. The lift pass for a week is more for all the valleys but is worth it, if you were a beginner you might not get the value from it however I would still recommend you get it if money isnt tight. It also looks ideal if you are wanting to learn to ski having some really forgiving easy runs.
We stayed in chalet Ecrasé in the largest of the resorts Courcheval 1850 which sits west of the central Merribal valley and then east of Meribel is val Torens and les Menuires.
