"THANKS YOU FOR A LOVELY TIME.. REALLY FANTASTIC STAFF. GOOD FOOD, MANY THANKS." Richard Amphlet January 2014
WELCOME Dear Skiers and Snowboarders, I hope that you are as excited as we are about the up-and-coming ski season! Not only am I proud to offer you a great selection of new chalets and hotels for this season, but a new programme of flexible flying will offer you more choice for your weekend away. In fact, we believe that we have just about every base covered if you are looking for a low-cost weekend away this Winter. The best resorts, the greatest variety of flights and the biggest range of exclusive accommodation. That is, accommodation run by US, (rather than 3rd parties), so you can be sure of good quality accommodation at a great price (look out for our iGO SKI exclusive logo). So do get in touch, whatever your budget, group size or requirements, my specialist team of ski advisors are on hand to help you plan your perfect short ski or board break this Winter. James Hardiman Managing Director / Founder

WE KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE A GREAT HOLIDAY, EXTRA SPECIAL!
CHOOSING THE RIGHT RESORT
SIZE CAN MATTER
All of our resorts have been specially chosen for their suitability to the weekend skier and snowboarder. They are located within 2 and half hours of Geneva airport (many are closer) and our ski chalets with in each resort are close to the ski slopes and resort centre.
The size of the ski area is also an important consideration for the short break skier, as one tends to want to get the most out of their short break away, skiing as much mileage as one can in the short time that they have. Ski lift and slope quality is also a priority where the weekend skier will not want queue bottle necks or narrow pistes.
Morzine, Portes du Soleil
Our resorts are also perfectly suited to beginner and intermediate skiers, whilst offering challenging skiing and snowboarding for more advanced snow users. Each resort has ski schools and we can offer a package of lessons and ski or board hire for your short break away at very competitive prices.

iGOSKI – Morzine
MORZINE
AN ALPINE ORIGINAL
Just fifty miles from Geneva, Morzine is so easily accessible it has become a favourite from the UK. But no matter how popular it is, this small former farming town has managed to maintain its HauteSavoie picture-postcard look and intimate alpine village feel. Morzine has pretty tree runs around a full range of skiing. New starters and intermediates have miles of well-groomed piste to discover at their leisure with plenty of space.
16
The more advanced can get stuck in to the diversity and complexity of this vast terrain. Morzine gets a big thumbs up with families and has a good variety of après ski. You will find mouth-watering fondue and Savoyard tartiflette melting in all the cosy restaurants. Head back to bed fully satisfied, ready for the next perfect day on the slopes.
Above left: Miles of well-groomed piste Above right: Variety to challenge all levels
Morzine’s combination of the massive Portes du Soleil, spread across France and Switzerland, together with all the facilities of a year-round town make it extremely popular destination.

iGOSKI – Les Gets
LES GETS
GET SET FOR A HOLIDAY TO REMEMBER
With access to the Portes du Soleil’s 650kms of pisted slopes alone, Les Gets is part of one of the World’s largest ski areas. Les Gets offers excellent skiing for all levels and abilities in very pretty, often tree-lined surroundings. There’s ideal easy to intermediate level skiing for families, newcomers and those in need of a refresher on the slopes but also plenty for the more advanced. Beginner and intermediate snowboarders will love the wide open nature of the landscape.
22
The Snow Park is a little tamer than its big brother up in Avoriaz. It’s perfect for beginner to intermediate riders with easy jumps and a very relaxed atmosphere. There’s a lively café culture, restaurants, snack bars, boutique shopping and an open-air ice rink – just one of the many highlights that get Les Gets on the family favourites list year after year. When the early birds have turned in, the resort’s après-ski kicks off and keeps going into the early hours, every night, all season long.

iGOSKI – Méribel
MÉRIBEL
LA BELLE GRANDE-MÈRE (BEAUTIFUL GRANDMOTHER)
At almost 80 years old she’s more stunning and lively than ever before. Outstanding Méribel is a long-standing favourite, not least for her lively aprés ski scene. The first chalets popped up here in 1938 thanks to British skier Peter Lindsay’s vision of Méribel as a top resort. Much money has been invested recently on the ski lift system which is now faster and more efficient than ever before, reaching the 300m highest point in a matter of minutes for good snow throughout the season.
36
Méribel has a reputation for some of the best skiing, snowboarding and aprés ski in the entire Alps. The resport has become popular with snowboarders, playing host to the latest hips, handrails and jumps at three parks and pipes that keep all abilities busy. There are countless clubs and bars, menus and music to suit everyone and every budget. You’ll soon see where Méribel gets her reputation for the best nightlife in the French Alps. Come prepared to ski hard and party harder.

iGOSKI – La Plagne
LA PLAGNE
VALLEY, VILLAGES AND NON-STOP VARIETY
The exciting playground of La Plagne comprises ten villages with snow sure slopes from nursery to Black. Beginners and progressive riders have a huge number of very well linked Green and Blue trails on the relatively flat topography, making it simple to cover a lot of this impressive area with ease. The resort is an excellent all-rounder’s resort and a great family ski holiday destination. With some of the longest descents in Europe, vertical drops of up to 2000m and the Plagne Bellecôte glacier to keep you busy, there’s an
40
incredible choice of how and where you want to ski or board. Snowboarders and freeriders can’t get enough of the well designed and maintained man-made features that blend seamlessly with natural terrain: humps, gulleys, half pipes and long sweeping runs. For the most daring and energetic, there are lots of Red runs and ten nightclubs to test out.
Above left:The snow-sure slopes of La Plagne Above top: Wellmaintained slopes Above bottom: A beautiful Winter setting
La Plagne has certainly raised its profile after being linked via the Vanoise Express with Les Arcs to form the Paradiski.

iGOSKI – Val d’Isère
VAL D’ISÈRE
EXPERTS AND KIDS LOVE KILLY
Sharing the Espace Killy and its 3,456m centre piece the Grande Motte with Tignes, Val d’Isère offers a superb snow guarantee. This leading location is not only for the experienced, children and beginners love it too! There are beginner and intermediate friendly Green and Red slopes across the area but with 300km of free-riding, steep descents, and plentiful powder, the more advanced can cover plenty of ground, motorway ‘cruising’, jumping or even carving down the Boardercross course series of banked corners and humps.
42
Snowboarding in Val d’Isère is highly regarded. Towards the Col d'Isère, Le Fornet is absolutely magical in the powder and offers clean and open powder fields from high up on the glacier. In the main town, Val d’Isère offers boutique shopping and a vibrant café culture. After a cool day on the slopes, things start to hot up with an early après ski kick off about 4pm in over 50 bars and restaurants. Set in South-Eastern France just 5km from the Italian border, you can expect some excellent Italian cuisine and French fusion food.
