• The coach reduces the amount you will have to plan and spend before the holiday. Whereas flying involves finding the right flight at the right price, booking the airport parking, paying for excess baggage for your skis, working out public transport in Switzerland or hiring a car then making the journey with baggage for the week at both ends of the holiday.
• The overall coach journey is about 18 hours and we find that on the outward journey most of our clients manage to get about 8 hours rest (albeit a bit broken up). On the way home, if things go well, some get nearer 10 hours sleep, in a 17 hour journey.
• It gives us the chance to get to know each other and really does prove to be a good ice-breaker for the holiday. It means we can begin to learn everyone's name. The overall journey (through the night) is about 4-6 hours longer, but is considerably cheaper and is better for the environment, having a smaller carbon footprint!
• It means we can get to know a bit about what you want on your holiday so we can get together the plans for ski groups, issuing equipment and giving you information that is relevant to your holiday.

Our overall view is that we prefer to use coaches to travel to the resorts as we think the holiday experience is maintained at a reasonable price and level of comfort. We offer discounts to people flying and will do our best to help you meet up with us in resort, but are unable to book these for you.

Coach Comfort

We anticipate the journey time to be about 18 hours in total, but most people find they sleep after the ferry crossing until we breakfast in Europe, so you may find it useful to bring a neck pillow or sleeping bag. We make regular stops where food is available to purchase or you may prefer to bring some food. We will stop at the Swiss border for lunch and arrive in resort in the afternoon. The first meal we provide is on the Saturday evening.
