 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
We've booked an 'experimental' week in Les Saisies at the end of January, prompted by new grandparent status, and the recommendations of several Snowheads (you know who you are!). Does anyone have any recommendation for ski hire shops - we're staying at Residence Village. The Tourist Office do a deal, but only for complete 'packs' - we just need skis and poles, so will probably use the usual sites (Snowrental, Alpinresorts etc).

I'm no expert on ski hire in Saisies - we used a local one in Bisanne 1500. I don't recognise "Residence Village" though there are some new places since I left. Where is it?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

It's quite central, below Carrefour Montagne (was '8 à Huit'). Looks fairly unprepossessing from the back, but has good views south on the other side.

Piccard sports is a nice shop from what I remember (we went to Les Saisies last season) and not too far from where you are staying. Although I haven't hired skis there as we have our own.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Ducrey sport looks quite close, too - I'm sure they'd be fine. They have several shops around. Hope you have a great holiday - do report back!

Thanks - looking forward to skiing in France again, and exploring the area, after several years in Zermatt. We've ski-ed in Les Contamines and Grand Massif before, and spent several summer holidays in the area. In 2024 we will be a mixed party - son(v. good), daughter-in-law(nervous), 2yr old grandson, reasonable intermediate (me), and OH who was a good skier, but now has knackered knees from too much tennis. We'll be looking for somewhere to satisfy everyone!
