La Tania Opens One Month Today!

And the Ski Lodge in 3 Weeks…

Friday 1st December is First Pints day as Pub Le Ski Lodge opens for Winter. Celebrating it’s 30th year there’ll be a party or two this season as we go back to the 90’s…….

First Tracks! Skiers Spotted On Saulire…

On Saulire this morning some Ski Tourers were spotted on the Webcams

Probably the usual suspects but they may wish to remain anonymous – the usual warnings from S3V (the ski area mgmt company) regarding heavy machinery, cables, unsafe areas etc as the ski area prepares the terrain for opening will be along soon no doubt…

Good effort people! And thanks to Mark R for the heads up.

Revolut’s Standing in Online Gambling Industry

Some gambling destinations are doing better than others in many ways. For example, a casino or sportsbook may have a long list of interesting games courtesy of top software companies but may lack customer support or payment services, and vice-versa. This situation is unending, and finding the perfect gaming venue seems almost impossible. Interestingly, some operators have tried solving their problems by integrating convenient and affordable systems. For instance, some sportsbooks now use Revolut as one of their payment methods to overcome the issue of performing online transactions. Find out more about this next-generation payment option in this article and how it would change the iGaming industry. 

5 Things You Need to Know About Revolut Payment Method

Revolut is a digital bank or wallet designed to make life convenient for people as it facilitates easy and seamless transactions. It was only recently introduced but has become one of the world’s most popular digital wallets used by bettors on online gambling sites. Now, while all bookmakers support Revolut, this payment method’s presence will change the gambling industry’s status quo. But before that happens, you should know the following things about the digital payment option. 

What is Revolut?

Revolut is a payment method that uses a digital debit card to perform online transactions. This eWallet option was introduced by its London-based company, Revolut Ltd., in 2015, and it was immediately accepted into the gaming industry, especially betting sites. For about 7 years now, Revolut has proven to be more effective than other methods known to or supported by most bookies. It has provided bettors with a fast, secure, and easy way to make deposits and withdrawals online in a range of currencies – at no processing cost. Currently, Revolut operates in Europe and Asia and has an app on the Google Play Store or App Store. It is also quite popular among norwegian bookmakers.

How to Get a Revolut Debit Card

Revolut acts as a digital debit card, but that doesn’t limit it from being a physical debit card. Users can get an actual debit card in some authorized countries after meeting the requirements. First, you must create an account with the company to get a digital debit card. During account creation, you must comply with KYC regulations to validate your data. Then, you can request to get a debit card from customer support to be able to withdraw money at any ATM. You have to pay shipping and processing fees to get it. Apart from the obvious difference, both cards have many similarities (i.e., digital and physical).   

How to Use Revolut

Whether you get a physical or a digital debit card, you can still use them to process transactions online. People who use Revolut will definitely have a great time using the payment method’s service. And for those who don’t know how, here is a step-by-step guide to depositing with Revolut. 

Step 1 – Download the mobile app on your smartphone and create an account 

Step 2 – Go to the homepage and select the “Add Money” option 

Step 3 – Select a payment method and enter an amount alongside other requested information 

Step 4 – Complete the process by clicking the “Add Money” button. 

How to Find Revolut Sportsbooks

Finding bookies that accept Revolut can be difficult because not every bookmaker supports the payment method. The population is growing, but it will take a little more time. Notwithstanding, top online bookmakers that offer this option to deposit easily and withdraw are 22Bet, 888Sport, and 20Bet. 

There is something more interesting about Revolut bookmakers – they offer special and regular bonuses to bettors. For instance, after you’ve created an account with the betting site and placed a bet using the payment method, you will be eligible for a welcome bonus, increasing your possibility of winning more prizes. 

However, it is important to read the payment service provider’s terms and conditions before using it as a default option.  

How is Revolut Better Than Other Banking Options?

Revolut seems to be the future of betting sites, as it has several benefits, making it even better than most banking options. For instance, it is a digital wallet that allows other payment methods. It also allows users to withdraw from all ATMs at no charge. More importantly, this payment method ensures that users can exchange currencies at a good rate – even better than those offered by banking institutions. 

However, the major challenge with Revolut banking is that not everyone will be ready to accept the initiative, especially as most people think there is a lack of credibility. Notwithstanding, there are hopes that many people will start using this next-generation method soon.  

Conclusion

Before now, there were growing concerns about how casinos and sportsbooks could do better and offer better customer service. Some were able to develop new strategies that ensure members get the best experience. One such strategy is accepting intelligent payment options like Revolut. This eWallet method has saved most players from the troubles of doing online transactions. Unfortunately, even though it has been around for almost a decade, not every bookmaker has it. On the other hand, the reviews so far have been impressive, and the fact that people can withdraw anywhere in the world with a Revolut debit card is impressive. That being said, Revolut has a developing presence in the sports betting industry.  

House for Winter Season Rental in Le Buisson (between St Bon & Bozel)

As usual, season accommodation is in short supply and the added issues of the closure of Saboia B in La Tania towards the end of the season isn’t helping either. This may help companies looking for staff beds or people wanting to do a season.

Chris H has this house to rent in Le Buisson, situated between St Bon and Bozel – less than a 10 minute drive to La Tania. It’s a two bedroom, sleeping 4 (maximum) he’s looking for around €10k for the season from 01 December 2023 to 30 April 2024, maybe less for a couple only.

Lift Pass Prices For Winter 2024 and the latest on free over 75 Veteran Passes

As we reported back at the beginning of June – plans to bring in charges for lift passes for the over 75s are happening.

It looks like the prices have been approved by the relevant authorities and free skiing for over 75s will remain with a Courchevel Pass and a Méribel Pass (nothing to stop you getting both).

However Veterans will be charged for 3 Valleys, Val Thorens / Orelle and Les Menuires / St Martin passes. Quite a sad indictment after putting the age limit up from 70 to 72 and then 75 over the past decade along with the reduced lifts and speeds arising from the pandemic and energy crisis.

Three Valleys Lift Pass Prices for Winter 2024

All prices are for the main season without insurance and are of course subject to change

  • 6 Days Adult (over 12) €375 which is up from €360 last Winter
  • 6 Days Veteran (over 75) €93.70
  • 1 Day €75
  • 1 Day Veteran €18.70
  • Tribu (available for 3 or more passes of same type for 6 days of more) 6 Days €355 each
  • Famille (for 2 adults and 2 or more kids aged up to 18) 6 Days €300 each
  • Adult Season Pass €1550, Veteran Season Pass €387.50

Courchevel Valley

  • 6 Days Adult (over 12) €340
  • 6 Days Veteran (over 75) FREE
  • 1 Day €68
  • 1 Day Veteran FREE
  • Tribu (available for 3 or more passes of same type for 6 days of more) TBC
  • Famille (for 2 adults and 2 or more kids aged up to 18) 6 Days €272 each
  • Adult Season Pass €1320, Veteran Season Pass FREE

Méribel Valley

  • 6 Days Adult (over 12) €317.50
  • 6 Days Veteran (over 75) FREE
  • 1 Day €63.50
  • 1 Day Veteran FREE
  • Tribu (available for 3 or more passes of same type for 6 days of more) TBC
  • Famille (for 2 adults and 2 or more kids aged up to 18) 6 Days €254 each
  • Adult Season Pass €1322, Veteran Season Pass FREE

Val Thorens / Orelle

  • 6 Days Adult (over 12) €320
  • 6 Days Veteran (over 75) €80
  • 1 Day €65
  • 1 Day Veteran €18.70
  • Tribu (available for 3 or more passes of same type for 6 days of more) 6 Days €300 each
  • Famille (for 2 adults and 2 or more kids aged up to 18) 6 Days €256 each
  • Adult Season Pass €1220, Veteran Season Pass €305

Les Menuires / St Martin

  • 6 Days Adult (over 12) €309
  • 6 Days Veteran (over 75) €77.20
  • 1 Day €60
  • 1 Day Veteran €15
  • Tribu (available for 3 or more passes of same type for 6 days of more) 6 Days €289 each
  • Famille (for 2 adults and 2 or more kids aged up to 18) 6 Days €247.20 each
  • Adult Season Pass €1184, Veteran Season Pass €296

There are a multitude of season passes using 2 or 3 days a week or a number of lifts per week plus the Liberty pay as you go pass and the Saturday 3 Valleys discounted pass (cheaper than a single valley but only available online and until midnight the day before).

The family pass can save a lot – 2 Adult and 4 kids aged 13 to 17 for 6 days in the 3 Valleys would cost a whopping €2,250 – basically 6 adult passes (375×6) as you are an adult when over 12 in the 3 Valleys. However with the family pass it would cost €1800 (300×6) as kids are under 18 when using a family pass (and no, you don’t need to ski together!).

We’ll have a full update and breakdown on our lift pass prices page soon.

Update On The New La Tania Car Park – What We Know?

Information on what we know about the new Parking Combou area in La Tania. As usual this is all subject to change as plans often completely change (or get cancelled) without any consultation and finding out solid information is very difficult.

Note that Parking du Tal is the parking area up the hill from Le Praz next to the horse riding stables. This will be chargeable for Winter 2024 (to encourage parking in the Alpinium no doubt).

The new Parking Combou in La Tana replaces Parking du Saz near to the gondola station where the new Moretta Village development is under construction. An underground car park with 100 spaces will eventually be available under the Moretta Village (for a fee).

Situated at the entrance to the village when coming up from Le Praz it was built using the earth from the Alpinium development in Le Praz.

Work is still to be completed for the additional facilities that are to be provided but the main car parking area will be open for Winter 2024.

The car park will be free for Winter 2024 (now confirmed from Police Municipale) but we expect it to be chargeable for Winter 2025 when all facilities are completed. This is not confirmed though. The Police say coaches will be charged at €40 per day.

Parking Combou:

  • Cost is €1.7m
  • 8 places for coaches
  • 8-10 campervan places
  • Remaining spaces for cars
  • Toilet and Shower facilities
  • Waste and Recycling Bins
  • Rest area / coffee facilities for coach drivers
  • Charging point for Electric Vehicles
  • New footpath to the gondola (a new path is in place from there to the resort)
  • No shuttle bus from the car park

This season there will be 8-10 free campervan places reserved for Seasonaires on a first come – first served basis (contract of employment will most likely be needed). You can email the Police Municipal now to reserve on police@mairie-courchevel.com

So no spaces for public campers this Winter (unless a Seasonaire leaves perhaps).

There are also plans to eventually have a two storey car park on the parking near La Taiga with some Seasonaire accommodation and possibly shops/commerce buildings on top.

The temporary access road to the chalets will be the only way up there this season. The authorities are well aware of how difficult / dangerous this could be during heavy snowfall and say it will be prioritised for snow clearing operations.

Many thanks to the efforts of the local businesses for managing to gather this information and for the photos too. Not sure why this information is not made publicly available anywhere.

A Guide to Handling Bad Weather on a Ski Trip

Any experienced adventurer familiar with planning a trip that involves skiing, snowboarding or any other kind of snowy mountain activity will tell you that unpredictable weather can put a real damper on any carefully thought-out plans. The key to making the most of any situation is to prepare for the unexpected. This quick guide will provide a few handy pointers to ensure that a snowy trip into the mountains can be a delightful and safe experience, no matter the weather.

Alternative Activities for Bad Weather Days

It makes no difference how well-planned a holiday in the mountains is; there’s still a chance that inclement weather will force a quick change of plans. It’s common for holidaymakers venturing into the hills to experience a wide variety of conditions. When poor weather forces the adventure indoors, it’s good to have a few options to keep every member of the trip entertained,

Thankfully, many of the best ski resorts will offer fun indoor activities for days when the weather simply won’t cooperate. These indoor options include facilities like spas, bars and gift shops, which provide shelter from the cold and snow. If rest is needed instead, it might be worthwhile to take the forced time off the slopes as an excuse to catch up on sleep or curl up with a good book.

For days when skiing is out of the question, consider staying in with a warm cup of tea and looking online for fun activities to pass the time. Thrill seekers looking for entertainment that reminds them of their action-packed time on the slopes could indulge in some betting by looking for secure platforms online that provide up-to-date information on horse racing today as a viable short-term replacement. 

Understanding Weather Patterns in Ski Resorts

Before booking flights, choosing the cosiest accommodations and setting off to enjoy that well-deserved ski trip, it’s a good idea to become familiar with the general weather patterns and forecast of the area. Each ski resort is likely to have its own unique climate based on where it’s situated, and understanding which weather conditions are typical for the location can help during the planning stages of the trip. 

Be sure to take a good look at the average snowfall amounts, temperatures and likelihood of extreme weather events before finalising any holiday plans. If the weather conditions look grim over the proposed dates and skiing is the main reason for going, consider rescheduling to a time when conditions are more favourable.

Preparing for Inclement Weather

Proactivity is always the name of the game when planning the perfect trip outdoors. Even if weather conditions are expected to be good for skiing, set up some reminders to keep checking on the conditions in the days leading up to the holiday. If the weather starts to change as the date creeps closer, try not to get disheartened, as there are so many fun ways to enjoy time on the slopes that don’t require braving extreme or dangerous weather conditions.

Aside from the essentials, packing some extra items for emergencies could make all the difference. If possible, try to leave some luggage space for a small selection of emergency supplies like hand warmers, a first aid kit, a battery bank and a flashlight. It may also be beneficial to make a note of the locations and contact details of medical facilities and emergency services located closest to the booked accommodations.

Conclusion

In conclusion, coping with unexpected changes in the weather on a ski trip often requires a little out-of-the-box thinking and preparation. With a bit of care and some extra research on the weather conditions, it’s much easier to plan ahead and maximise the enjoyment of the holiday. By accepting that the weather won’t always be favourable, understanding changes in weather patterns and packing smart, anyone can ensure a wonderfully fun trip that’s worth the trouble.

30 Years of Pub Le Ski Lodge – time for a refurb (and a party)

The life and soul of La Tania since 1993 – Pub Le Ski Lodge is now 30 years old and is smartening itself up for Winter 2024 with a full on refurb.

Tim and Deb started the pub shortly after La Tania was built – the new resort financed on the back of the 1992 Winter Olympics based in Albertville with La Tania used as accommodation for journalists and ice hockey teams. Originally there was a bakery / cafe next door and the place was nearly half the size before knocking through in the late 90s and expanding to where the stage is now.

At the start of the Winter season, this December a “Back to the 90s” special invite only 30th Birthday Party will take place – with a few familiar faces from back in the good old days bound to show up. But will it be Shibboleth, The Feeling, Sunset Suns, Bjorn Again or Bring Your Sisters playing we wonder?

Of course nothing major will change, the Ski Lodge will still provide the best value food and drink in The 3 Valleys, the best live music, full TV sport coverage on multiple screens, the sunniest lunch time terrace, happy hours every day and the infamous fancy dress theme nights all with great staff from across the world.

Happy Birthday Ski Lodge! Congratulations Tim and Deb, here’s to the next 30…

Winter Wonderland in Gaming: The Integration of Skiing in Online Casino Games 

Adrenaline junkies are always looking for their next rush, whether it comes from outdoor adventures or casino games. Two activities that promise an invigorating thrill are skiing down a mountain and playing a favorite table game or slot machine. Game developers are capitalizing on the exhilaration of skiing by creating online casino games with winter sports themes. Doing so increases diversity of game offerings in online casinos making them more competitive by attracting new demographics through enhanced user experiences. 

While ski-themed slots take the lead, other casino staples like poker, blackjack, and roulette are getting makeovers featuring winter sports motifs. Game studios work similar magic to make these titles feel like a day on the mountain, allowing players to experience the excitement of the slopes right from their screens. Let’s explore how skiing is inspiring online casino games.

Hitting the Slopes on Reels 

To develop genuinely immersive ski-themed slots, game creators carefully implement various elements that evoke the sport. Visually stunning mountain backdrops immediately set the stage while the icy, snow-covered interface adds to the winter ambiance. The reels come alive with smooth animations showing skiers racing downhill or flying off jumps. Ultimately, upbeat soundtracks pump energy, while voiceovers, crowd cheers, and nature sounds complete the experience. 

Developers also incorporate actual ski gear and competition elements into gameplay. Goggles, skis, boots, and poles serve as symbols and activate features. You get a chance to win big while playing online casino games featuring events like downhill races, ski jumps, and ski tricks competitions. Bonus rounds put your skills to the test, with mini-games requiring well-timed moves. With so many sensory details straight from the slopes, it’s easy to feel like you’re skiing when you spin these specialty slots.

Popular Ski Slots 

Some of the most popular slots embracing ski culture are: 

  • Icy Wilds – This 50-payline game from iSoftBet transports you to snowy peaks with its chilly artwork. Match animal symbols like snow leopards and owls to trigger icy Wilds covering entire reels. Free spins and synchronized reels boost winning potential. 
  • Break Away – Microgaming’s 243-way slot follows hockey action on the ice. Scatter trophies award up to 25 free spins. Smashing Wilds crash reels, turning symbols wild for bigger wins. It has everything hockey fans love. 
  • Ski Jump – Join a ski jumping tournament in Genesis Gaming’s slot. Time your jumps perfectly as competitors zoom down the run. Skier symbols become wild when landing on reels. Scattered skis trigger the exhilarating bonus round. 
  • Peak of Perfection – With glorious mountain views behind its 5 reels, this Realtime Gaming slot gets you in the winter spirit. It introduces fun features like Growing and Shifting Wilds during free spins mode. Bigfoot can show up to turn reels wild, too. 
  • Winter Wonders – Play’n GO’s icy slot has reels framed by snowy pines. Its white-haired Wild Old Man symbol activates one of three bonuses: free spins, instant wins, or a wheel spin for prizes. Christmassy graphics add cheer. 

Bringing the Slopes to Table Games 

Table games are getting in on the ski action too. Blackjack now has a Winter Blackjack variation where the dealer wears a snazzy ski outfit. Ski-themed symbols decorate the table felt and cards, allowing players to double down on “powder nines” counting as nine. This winter makeover makes a casino staple feel fresh. 

At roulette tables, there’s Peak Perfection Roulette using a wheel marked with ski graphics rather than numbers. Players bet on things like ski runs, lift tickets, and après-ski cocktails. This creative twist adds new life to the classic game, not to mention the winter editions for holidays like the Christmas-y Ho Ho Ho Roulette. 

Some of the most creative casino game titles embracing skiing include: 

  • Penguin Splash Blackjack – Surrounded by frolicking Antarctic animals, this unique blackjack variant deals out wins with free spins, re-spins, and wild penguin scatters. 
  • Alpine Poker – Straight and royal flushes in this poker game filled with snowy pines chances of bagging a progressive jackpot. Additionally, bonus rounds let you hit the slopes virtually.

  • Olympic Bonanza – Compete in bobsleigh races and more Olympic events in this all-encompassing casino game. Mini-games and bonus rounds let you try out various sports. 

Skiing in Sportsbooks 

For sports bettors, ice hockey naturally inspires a slew of betting options. Casinos offer endless ways to wager on NHL games through their sportsbooks. Special hockey props, futures, and live betting add to the excitement surrounding this fast-paced winter pastime. Themed bets bring additional fun, like wagering on which team’s goalie will have more saves or who’ll get a penalty first. 

No matter your favorite winter activity, from hockey to skiing to simply relaxing by a cozy fire, casino developers have you covered. They’ve made their entire suite of games more inviting by creatively incorporating winter themes that appeal to cold weather aficionados. With exciting new titles released regularly, there’s always a new way to enjoy winter at the casino!
