    What they offer and promise and what they deliver is two totally different things. I stop with them for a month in their long term chalet which was a shit hole.

    There has been many posts about their MTB and winter ski hols! unfortunately not positive.

    But like anything you get what you pay for, and their prices just seem too cheap so things have to give.

    But if you are on a really tight budget and dont really care what the accom and food is like then I gues it will be fine.

    When I was a lot younger and skint then these sort of places I could put up with as long as I had good biking and skiing, now Im older Accomm and Food is as high on the priority list and alas much more expensive.

    But why do they advertise and say things then deliver a totally different product? Even struggled to get the damage deposit out of them, had to threaten to go to their London office in person to collect it. The only decent grub we got was when the two Kiwi chalet workers were their.

    Try Jollygood hell of a lot better and would never hesitate to use them. To be honest it's the only reason we went to alpine elements is because we left it to late to get into Jollygood.

    i went with them last year and had no problems at all? food was total s**t but aprt from that it was fine. I booked early last year and me and my 4 mates got it for £200 for a week fully catered, now you can't beat that really?

    having said that i'm not going with them this year as we're hiring a chalet ourselves. costing more but we're going with the other halves so they are more bothered about the place we're staying. for a group of mates going away, having a beer and riding your bike, i'd recomend them.

    I used to work for them in morzine and wouldn't touch them with the "filthiest" stick in the very "filthy" stick box.

    Jolly good are the best people in morzine imho unless you need lots of guiding then endless ride get a good rep.

    me and my buddy went with them on 07, and 08.. stayed in the chamois hotel in les gets… it was a bit scruffy, but that meant you didn't worry about walking around the hotel in your dirty bike kit, you didn't look under the beds, but why would you.. and the staff were as pissed as you were the next morning… oh, and if you got on well with them, you could get yourself on the "staff beers" tab…. half price, with the odd shot thrown in… it just reminded me of being a student again!!!
