  Laundry costs: The bed linen will be washed on a regular basis, but your clothes are up to you. The laundry facilities in Tignes are numerous. One load, which is approximately a bin bag (5 Kg) washed, dryed and folded is 8€.. This takes all the work out washing and leaves more time for riding.

  Towels: Bring your own towels

  Drinking water: The tap water in the Alps is drinkable but occasionally contains French bugs. As with any foreign country it will take a while to get used to drinking it so it is advisable to drink bottled water. This will cost about 0,62€ a litre in Casino.

The Electricity
  In France is 220V so you can use all appliances safely, you will need a continental adapter which is available from tesco's for £5.99. This will allow the use of hairdryer, shaver, stereo and clippers.

Kitchen
  The kitchen will be fully equipped and available for everyone's use at all times. As it is a common kitchen its cleanliness must be maintained at all times by ALL seasoners.

Telephones are simple to use and phone cards can be purchased from all Tabacs, 50F, 100F. The bigger the card you buy the cheaper the rate you get. A special international card is now available giving 50 minutes for only 50 FF. The best thing to do though is get the person you're ringing to ring you back!

 Internet - 7€ per half hour. Various cafes around town.

 Here at Seasonaires we have aimed to make doing a season as easy and as affordable as possible.

  Be Warned! If you lose your pass you will have to pay for a new one (unless covered by insurance)
There are EXTRAS associated with the season pass

Depending on what package you choose travel might be included in the price. The Snow Train is the simplest and most hassle free way to get to the French Alps. All return tickets are exchangeable and refundable, allowing you the freedom to customize your return travel date. You arrive directly in the Alps so there is only a short 35 min transfer to Tignes and your home for the winter.

Train
  The Snow Train runs direct from Waterloo Station in London to Bourg St Maurice in the Alps. It is comfortable and takes about the same time as flying and the transfer but allows you to kick back and relax the whole way there.
Usual dates are around Sat 9th Jan - Sat Apr 3rd, the exact dates can vary and are not fixed untill you receive your train tickets approx 4 weeks prior to departure.

Ferry + Car
  The ferry is for if you are planning to bring your car out. There is an extra £20 charge and then its up to you to plan your route, tolls and petrol expenses. We provide directions for 'Toll Roads', an 8 hr journey.
Dont forget to get the proper insurance for driving in Europe and check the current regulations with the AA to see what spares you will need to carry.
