Carre Neige seems to be the name of an insurance company. Have you checked your insurance docs? I'd probably just use a credit card if that's how it works.

Yeah it's something you can pay an additional 2.80euros per day for from the lift pass office, as just total peace of mind. I understand that any decent insurance policy will cover basically everything, but there does tend to be a load of silly hidden clauses with regards to piste evacuation making it easy to think your winter sports cover will defo be fine but then you may have one ski off piste (silly example) so end up not being covered whereas carre neige covers every eventuality.

Like I say it's so doubtful we need it or that we wouldn't be covered with our policies we've chosen, but just curious as to whether the lift passes will include it I dunno if my parents are just extra cautious or what but its something we've always purchased at the time of buying lift passes so just following suit

Hey just got some questions

would it be better to bring bed sheets or a sleeping bag?
how much money would comfortably get you through the week, bearing in mind i'm very poor now lol
do we need any documents apart from a passport and printout of the ticket?

I did have a few more but I've totally forgotten them now


also just curious, you think they'd have wifi we could use?

They mentioned that you should bring winter sports insurance docs, so those too?

I'd rather bring a sheet to be honest but I'll see/ listen to others.

I think most suggested at least 250, but nearer to 300 euros. More if poss just to make it more comfortable.

I'm bringing a sleeping bag simply because it's easier.

1- Up to you. If youve got room for a sleeping bag, might as well pop that in, your own bag, more comfort levels, etc...
2- As much as you can afford. Alternatively, if you can hack living on a budget, then you can get away with not very much. Again, up to you.
3- As above, proof of insurance unless you've bought the stuff in the package. EHIC.
4- Somewhere will. Hotel will probably have some in a communal rooom downstairs. But if 100+ are all trying to use it at once, it won't be great. No streaming.

Frankly, yes, that would be pretty low. Assuming you have lunch on the hill everyday that's 60euros gone straightaway. When drinks are a fiver each, they quickly add up too.

It's not impossible to do it on that kind of budget, but it won't be fun.

should have enough money now

Also finally read the e ticket lol, does only one item of hand luggage include a backpack? I was gonna have a bag with boots and stuff in, then have a backpack for food and water and things
