Yes with all our Fully Catered Ski Chalets
No with our Cold Fusion Flex Holidays
We will coordinate all your airport transfers on your behalf. These transfers are carried out by reputable airport transfer companies, and we offer flexibility in accommodating your arrival and departure times. Having this service arranged for you not only alleviates a significant source of stress but also results in substantial cost savings.
Yes, ColdFusion caters exclusively for people travelling alone and we can guarantee that you will be with other singles whichever week you choose. The people we accommodate are social people looking to enjoy a traditional chalet holiday with a ready-made group of friends to socialise with in daytime and the evenings.
Absolutely not. Some people travel with us who are in relationships, but for whatever reason have left their partners at home. We also welcome couples, where they are social people and want to enjoy the company of like-minded people in an adult environment.
Our guests span a wide age range, from 20 to 70 years, with no age restrictions in place. Over the course of the week, the age of individuals staying in our chalets becomes of less importance as they discover their shared interests and connections through skiing and snowboarding, safaris, etc.
For the comfort of our older guests, we also offer dedicated "Over 50's Ski Weeks" where they can opt to stay in a chalet with peers of a similar age. However, during our regular holiday periods, the age diversity among our guests is embraced, making each stay a unique and inclusive experience.
Typically, there is an approximate 50/50 split between male and female guests in the chalet, although we cannot provide an absolute guarantee of this ratio.
We offer double en-suite bedrooms for sole occupancy and also twin bedrooms for two people to share. We allocate room-share based on gender and age-range.
No, if you opt for a shared bedroom, Cold Fusion will pair you with another guest for sharing. In cases where the chalet isn't fully occupied, there won't be any single supplement fee.
Yes, we welcome people of all abilities, including complete beginners. Our team understands how daunting it can be to put on a pair of skis/snowboard for the very first time and will be on hand to help you every step of the way. We can organise lessons (both group and private), equipment hire and lift pass for you to make your first day as stress-free as possible – after all you will have a lot to concentrate on! After your lessons, we can show you the best places to practice your new-found skills with people who are of the same level as you.
Yes, we ask that you book your own flights to and from Geneva Airport in Switzerland for Val Thorens, Chamonix and Les Houches and Turin in Italy for Serre Chevalier.
Budget airlines such as Easy Jet offer cheap and frequent flights out of the UK throughout the winter season. We are very flexible on the time you choose to arrive and depart. We arrange your airport transfers around your flight times, giving you flexibility to shop around and find flight times which suit you. Simply send us your flight details and we guarantee there will be someone at the airport to meet you when you land and to wave goodbye when you leave.

There are three ski passes available in Les Houches & Chamonix.
If you are a beginner and want to ski just the local area of Les Houches, you can purchse the chapest 'Les Houches Only Ski Pass'.
For anyone else intermediate level or above you will require the 'Mont Blanc Unlimited ski pass' which covers all 5 mountains including the local ski area of Les Houches and the main 4 mountains in Chamonix, as well as the surround resorts of Courmayeur in Italy or the Evasion Ski Area including St Gervais, Megeve and Les Contamines in France.
It also covers the extra mountain in Chamonix called the Aiguille Du Midi. This is a very famous mountain as it is the highest in Europe and it is where a famous off-piste skiing route starts from called the ‘Valle Blanche’. Many people come to Chamonix to see the views from the top of this lift and so we recommend if you get the chance to go up this lift to do so.
Therefore if you are coming to Chamonix for off-piste skiing, amazing views, or a good intermediate to advance skier it is well worth opting for the Mont Blanc Unlimted Ski pass.
On the other hand if you are a beginner and on a budget we recommend opting for the Les Houches ski pass.
SUMMARY
Total Beginners: Don’t pre-book a ski pass and buy it on a day to day basis for the area where you are having your lesson.
Intermediates to Advanced: Mont Blanc Unlimted ski pass.
For guests travelling to Serre Chevalier, we recommend purchasing the full Galaxy ski pass.
In Val Thorens, the 3 Valleys ski pass will give you full access to all areas.
It is possible to do 6, 7 or 8 days skiing when on holiday in Chamonix and Les Houches
You are able to do this as, unlike many other companies, we are flexible on your arrival and departure times when staying in the resort. This means it is possible to ski in the afternoon on the arrival day and in the morning before your departure flight as well as the 6 days in between.
When staying in Val Thorens or Serre Chevalier the ski week is a 6 day week as the transfer times are more fixed.
Yes, we welcome couples in all of our chalets and a small group of friends travelling together if the people travelling are looking for a social holiday.
We exclusively provide ski holidays for adults, ensuring there are no children or teenagers in our chalets (with the exception of our Single Parent weeks of course).
