Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Rock Garden
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

Went to have a look at the Rock Garden today

The access is straight up from the track across the Lac de Vaux. Pistes in nice condition.


Sketchy access. A few too many rocks showing


Nice view from this side. Mt Blanc in the background


chrisandmich on the bootpack


Looking up to Mt Gele


Some nice snow on the shaded faces


Chris in the afternoon sunshine


Good snow here compared to the Gentianes bumps background right


Mt Gele had some good chalky stuff but definitely a no fall zone in the harder snow conditions


On the traverse back to Attelas


You've gotta love the M25....


Started late but still some reasonable snow to be found on the north facing pitches and pistes holding up very well. Good to see some freshies on the radar snowHead

that'll be why it's called rock garden? lovely example of how you can find good skiing even when all the media are saying there's none.

In Rock Garden, After the first pitch we traversed left back up onto ridge line. Over the ridge there were some tracks leading down another valley - vallon d left, Tortin right. Is this hidden valley? Where does it come out. Any good?

BobinCH, tis hidden valley. you have to know when to stop and start walking out along a road/track about 30 min walk out to prarion (bottom of plan de fou) or apparently you can walk savolyeres direction but never done it. goodness knows where you'd end up if you miss the track but I can guarrantee it'd be a long walk and/or and expensive taxi ride!

love the M25 picture and that's at a relatively quiet time of year!

BobinCH, If you ring ahead the resto at Prarion will come and pick you up on a skidoo, saving most of the walk out, but you do need to know how to find the path!

Nice pictures! Having been there last week I can vouch for the M25 madness - although that looks quite quiet compared to some times!

gilo, Steve Sparks, thanks. Sounds like it's very lucky we didn't follow the tracks then! If you've done it, is it a good ski?

BobinCH, The top is super, did it 10 days ago, still good snow. The route we took was around the summit of Le Fou and climb the last 50m of grand couloir. Then 4 or 5 pitches of lovely stuff before crossing some evil ava debris and finding the track. I was with Seb from Powder Extreme and wouldn't be sure to find the track again by myself.

Also the Cafe Des Alpes at Prarion is lovely- one of the best terraces in the 4V.
