Write a useful gear list for a Chamonix transfer

List people, suitcases and boot bags, followed by each ski, board, climbing or bike case. Give packed lengths for long items and point out rigid cases or items that should remain upright. If the itinerary includes picking up or returning equipment, give the changed count after that stop. Tell the desk whether everybody needs to travel together or whether a different arrangement can be discussed. Include assistance and restraint requests with the headcount.

If different people have booked separate flights, attach the equipment to the correct flight rather than the overall group. Say who will wait at baggage reclaim and which bags cannot go ahead without their owners. If someone joins from the valley railway, share that station and the changed headcount. For a rental in Argentière or Megève, give the real collection or drop-off address if it is a proposed stop in the journey.

Ask the property where people can safely gather and load. A sloping driveway or stairs may matter when gear is hard to carry. If a second person will help at the address, agree how you will reach them. Send a written location and a vehicle-access pin. Keep both with the itinerary for the person arriving first. Tell the desk if unloading at the main door is particularly important to someone in the group.

Add any gear bought or repacked during the stay. Remove items that will go back to a rental shop. If a return appointment is part of the request, give its address and time and explain whether everyone needs to wait. Check the airline’s rules for each bag that will be checked and tell the desk if the departure deadline differs from what you sent initially. Ask for confirmation of any revised itinerary before relying on it.
