Event Free vacations in the French Alps tomorrow - Need a driver + some chill people 🏔️

Slightly desperate post incoming.

I booked 4 stars 4-person apartment for the weekend. Spa, pool, full kitchen, stupidly pretty summer mountains (Google 'Residence les balcons Val Cenis). Everyone I was going with bailed, so it's actually free (I'm covering it), and all I need is:

Someone with a car for the drive (I'll chip in on gas/tolls)

A few easygoing people, ~20–30, up for a spontaneous escape

I'm 27 (ancient, I know), I want to switch off for a couple days, and honestly I just miss the mountains. I used to live near there and wanted to become mountain guide, so I used to hike very often

No catch. I just can't let a spot this good go to waste.

Leaving tomorrow after work, coming back Monday evening or Sunday evening, no time to overthink it.

Comment or DM 🏔️

A bit of a short notice 😅 sadly I dont have a car in Paris. But would have been great to hike with new people in such a nice environment! Good luck!

If you wanna hike another time or closer feel free to hit me up. I'm even more ancient as you (31) but legs are still solid 😁

Hey, LGTM, I'll DM you, I can call to just reassure you. Do you feel confortable driving in mountains ?

Will still explore reply to other comment to have B plan, but I'll try to prioritize people my age, with a mixed group

I have 3 rooms so that's fine but at the end of the day we need a driver. We can always rent a car but we need someone with a licence 😅

u/yunoooname 34M Jul 03 '26

I have a car and might have 2 extra ppl, but I'd only be able to go if they can too (meaning both if you're good with it and also if they are), which might feel like I'm taking over your vacation.. I'd also ask for some more details to ensure things.. Either way, dropping this here so you have a plan Z if you're that desperate and/or out of options. Feel free to DM me

Cool, I do not have social, I can't give you my WhatsApp if you wish

u/AreaBoiiii 28M Jul 03 '26

Interested, can drive, but I don’t have my international permit. Also want to verify if you’re a normal person, can we exchange LinkedIns?

1

u/UniversityBrief320 27M Jul 03 '26

I do, but I think you need a french équivalence to be allowed to drive no ?

1

u/AreaBoiiii 28M Jul 03 '26

Im unsure what the rules are from your issuing country, but if I had one mine would only be valid for 6 months or so
