I have heard that is possible to get cross country from La Plagne to Courchevel. Is this possible??

You can see Courchevel from parts of La Plagne but I don't think it is possible to make the journey completely on ski's

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

tobymory, depends what you mean by cross country...from LP you can ski down to Champagny, which is only 20 mins by road from le Praz...
Most winters you can ski down to Bozel from Courchevel, and if you were quick after a low snowfall you could almost certainly make it down to Bozel from the Mont Jovet (short walk from the LP lift system), so that would qualify; might need some sacrificial skis though its mostly grass underneath... Or you could head from the top of the LP lifts down the Cul de Nant Glacier to Champagny le Haut, skin up and over the Col de la Grande Casse to Pralognan, then skin up & over the Petit Mont Blanc/Col de Mone to Courch? (bit more serious cross-country there)

There is another route which I am not going to mention until I have done it next month, depending on conditions, as it involves a certain amount of danger, but it is definitely possible. |
Is that the 'rollerblading from Champagny -le-Haut down to Bozel' option?

Met a mountian guide in Villaroger in December who had toured across from the 3V and all the way across the Paradiski area in a day - not sure which route he took though, or how many taxis - he was searching out routes himself....

tobymory, .... I should have mentioned that it is possible to get a bus from Champagny-en-Vanoise at about 10:45, to Brides les Bains, where you can get the Olympic bubble to Meribel. Return by the reverse route, BUT I believe this can only be done on a Sunday. Check Champagny tourist office confirm.
