WIN A WEEK AT THE NEW 3V BACKPACKERS!!!

13 October 2000


'Wouldn't it be great if there was some sort of backpacker-type accommodation in the Three Valleys?'

Well, thanks to La Tania-based The Mountain Centre, there is now...

In conjunction with The Mountain Centre (TMC) we are giving away a week's accommodation for two from 6-13 Jan (includes breakfast and tourist tax).

This competition was won by David Meredith.

 

The Background:

The Mountain Centre is the brainchild of Georgina Bone, who has set the operation up in association with Dutch developer Gandalf Enterprises. 'I had the idea years ago,' Georgina told Natives, 'TMC offers a unique product that's ideal for busy workers, students and backpackers. The Three Valleys has always needed this sort of service.'

With the advance of the budget airlines (Go, Easyjet and Ryanair) the trend has been moving for some time towards taking several short breaks a year instead of one big holiday. TMC now offers a more comfortable option than sleeping on your mates' floor!

The Facts:

In fact it's a lot more comfortable your mate's floor...

- From just £17 per night
- Located right on the piste
- Breakfast included plus FREE tea and coffee all day
- 2 centres with 38 beds each (Doubles, singles and bunks most with ensuite)
