join us for a special gala opening weekend
Following on from the great success of last years Ski & Board Camp opening weekend, and to celebrate the winter opening of the Tignes glacier and the beginning of the Edge2Edge Ski & Board Camp 2010 we are planning a very special gala weekend.
Arriving 24th September you have the option of staying 2, 3 or 4 nights. Prepare yourself for a busy weekend!
Guests will arrive at Geneva airport on 24th September late afternoon, where a transfer will be ready to leave at 17:00 and you will be transferred to Chalet Hotel Les Melezes for dinner. During the evening the Edge2Edge staff will set you up with the latest brand new skis, boards and boots ready for an early start.
After an early breakfast on Saturday 25th a private bus will collect you and take you direct to the funicular railway. You will then be amongst the very first to ski in Tignes this winter. Plus, of course, Ski & Board Campers will be in possession of brand new 2011 equipment to attack the virgin snow which has hopefully gathered during the glacier’s closure.
After a gruelling day skiing you will be brought back to Les Melezes where you can enjoy a session in the hot tub and saunas, or just to relax in the bar to prepare for the gala celebration dinner.
The evening will start at 20:15 in the bar where champagne cocktails and canapés will be served. The four course gourmet dinner with a selection of wines will commence at 20:30. Some well known skiers and ski industry and local dignitaries have been invited to join us at dinner. Click here to download and view the menu (word document).
More skiing follows on your subsequent days, with a slightly more sociable start time. You will be returned to the airport on our set time transfers on your departure date after skiing.
For those of you staying 3 or 4 nights we have a rather special optional extra available – White Water Rafting! Participants will be collected from the glacier at about 12:30 and taken back to the hotel to quickly change into travelling clothes and collect their luggage. We will then take you in the mini bus to the Isere River where, having donned a wet suit, life jacket and safety helmet you will raft 22 kms to Centron where you will be fortified with a steaming glass of Vin Chaud to re-charge you for the journey and proceed to the airport. A packed lunch will be provided for this option, and the total cost of the excursion will be 60€.
