vegan-friendly places in the snow for skiers & snow-boar

[Sophie]

We've got lots of vegan friendly places in ski resorts listed at:

plus I'm just about to book the annual vegan ski trip - fancy joining it? Tons of vegan food, lovely snow in a large resort (probably Tignes, France), and we can get there by train. Group leader discount is donated to good vegan and eco causes instead of being kept by me, so your hol is good for animals and the planet twice over!

It's great that you're promoting train travel for this.

I'm very persuasive about the train - it's the best way to travel plus it's better for the planet

I've decided to make the hol self catering sharing the cooking in apartments this year coz it makes it much cheaper - about £400 per person (half that is train fare - even cheaper if go by coach) in stead of £750 in a catered chalet. Means people can try it without breaking the bank.

Blimey, that was a fast response!

Skiing has an image problem of being something relatively well-off people fly to do, so if you're making it affordable and green as well as vegan, than good luck to you.

sadly skiing is often cheapest by flying last minute - as the cheapest train tickets go early and are rarely packaged and not subsidised. They are really popular though which is great, even though that makes it pricy.

Coach is most eco-friendly and often only £50 or so return, if you can cope with it - usu overnight so get 2 more days hol, just like the over-night train. Hee hee people flying only get 6 days while we get 8, and 2 of those the pistes are empty.

Skiing and snow-boarding are no longer as expensive as they used to be and comparable with many inclusive activity hols. Food on the slopes is extortionate but we vegans prefer eating our own sarnies sitting on a rock with an amazing view anyway!

and spooky fast responses are down to not so spooky auto notification and happening to be looking at my emails anyway. I'm not always so on the ball
