I will be there indeed, pie or not.......great news about the snow, it was fantastic last week on the glacier, it was much better than what I expected it to be at that time of year.
Chris Bish, when you come down from the glacier into Val Claret, the Tignes free bus is running from in front of the Taverne des Neiges and it stops right by L'Arbina and I think the Alpaka Lodge is up that road although I'm not sure how far up it is.

Storm brings snow to the Alps
Wednesday 29 October 2008
Heavy snow has begun to fall across many resorts in the Alps, but temperatures are set to rise again by the weekend.
Heavy snow is forecast across the French Alps, with up to 75cm expected to fall at Tignes this week and Chamonix is looking to get snow showers as low as 200m, with heavier snowfall above 500m.
75cm forecast for Tignes!! Almost 1 metre woo hoo!

Thinking of popping out for a long weekend this saturday ...so 3 quick questions (sorry I know it's the wrong thread but...)
a) What's open on the glacier at the moment? Any chance of anything else opening if conditions permit
b) I assume access is via the grand motte funicular?
c) Alpaka - are you open? how does one get round from le lac to the funicular (I assume the peak season buses won't be running)
Cheers

Snow down to 1800 at least. Rumours they are attempting to open 3M. the lift was moving earlier. Vis not great, but we could get around fine today. Where is the smug smiley???

Buses do run, although I'm not sure they are quite so frequent or run quite so late at night as during the regular season.
