We're booking right now - so don't get left out!
It's France again in a high snow-sure resort. I'm dreaming already of those long sunny days with lots of snow. We'll save money despite the strong Euro, by booking self-catering luxury apartments. We'll all look after each other on a great value holiday. That means we all take turns to cook/clean. After all veggies are often great at cooking and those who aren't can chop and clear up. Most nights someone else will be cooking for you. We'll do a food kitty to cover costs. A cleaner will come in mid-week.
Contact us now if you are interested and are the joining in kind of person, as we'll book apartments to fit the number of people we have.

Our trips are open to people wanting great veggie food in a fantastic location. Beginner, intermediate and advanced skiers and boarders are all welcome - there is bound to be another person of similar ability to go to lessons or hit the slopes with. If you are on your own we can put you in a room with someone of the same sex. Every trip manages to be even better than the last - we all have a fantastic time!
Once you have booked, take a look at our essential pre-hol check list.
We'll have exclusive use of the apartments, all the food will be vegan and suitable for everyone, from vegans to conventional types. Vegans, vegetarians and friends always welcome.
the details

- Staying at the ski-in ski-out Montsoleil apartments in the friendly resort of Flaine, with fabulous skiing and boarding.

- Accommodation price will be about £200-250 per person, and food for daily breakfast, tea & supper will be £75-100.
- Train fare will be from £100-170 per person depending on which train you want and how lucky we are when booking. You can save even more by having a chair instead of a couchette in the sleeper. Sometimes you can even get a first class couchette for this price! Bus about £12 each way from station to resort.

- So total cost of accommodation, food and travel from London will be about £450-500.

environmental travel

Like most veggies, we care about the environment. It's particularly key for skiers and boarders to stop climate change, as otherwise we'll end up with nowhere to go in Europe. So we book locations with excellent coach and/or train travel options, which are far better for the planet and your own stress levels than flying.
Note that if you go there by car sharing with others this may be the cheapest option and just as eco-friendly as the train if there are 4 in the car. The over-night sleeper gives you 8 days skiing and snow-boarding, making the holiday blissfully longer with plenty of time to get good at sliding down snowy mountains.
No one in our group will fly to join the trip as Veggie Snow is eco-friendly.
