'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)
- Chill out living room area
with open fire, TV, video, games consol and internet.
- Dining room offering dinner
from £6 for a hot meal served with salad, bread and wine
- 'In house' ski and snowboard
