Mmmmm interesting - kept seeing it on various FB posts from friends in Serre.......
http://www.dici.fr/actu/2015/10/21/hautes-alpes-condamne-contrefacon-serre-chevalier-vallee-retirer-logos-d-21-novembre-658906
Basically all Serre Che logos have to be taken down!
Wonder if this is the reason why the Serre Che TO Marketing Director has left (he's gone to ADH) as he knew this can of worms was about to break out!
Google Translation
Hautes-Alpes: Serre-Chevalier obliged to review its communication strategy. Indeed, the tourist office and governed the lifts were sentenced on September 21 for "forgery" at issue, the use of Serre-Chevalier logo. The conflict pits the tourist office to a communications company, recruited in 2008, and ousted in 2009 but which had meanwhile created the visuals for promotion and visual identity Serre Che. This conflict has dragged on since 2009, and led the Lyon court, made a relevant decision within two months to the date of the statement of the judgment, either to November 21. Ie, Serre-Chevalier that will remove all logos by November 21, before the start of the winter season 2015-2016. Unless of course, an agreement is reached by then between the two parties. Explanations of the man behind the appeal: Pierre-Guy Derousseau, manager of DMP company.
For his part the Mayor of Monêtier-les-Bains and president of the tourist office, Anne-Marie Forgeoux, wants to be reassuring saying that an agreement is still possible. *

If this is actually the case they'll most likely settle as it would cost them tens of thousands of € (or more) to come up with a new logo and implement it, also losing their corporate identity.......
Or I would anyway, but I'm not French!

Jeeesss just seen some other photos on the Hotel des Glaciers's FaceBook page up at the Lautaret.
And suppose being "holidays" far more people about, and on summer tyres!
Forecast looking good sun wise now till the middle of next week, though I suppose now we should all start to be looking to snow upwards of 1850 throughout Nov and then gradually snow levels coming down to the valley mid December.

Watch out for the stairs, very steep in Simone.

what time do the busses run up to between Monetein/Briancon? Any ofthe SerChe reisdents know or have a link? Much appreciated.

@ADESki, they don't seem to have updated the website with the current season bus times yet, but from memory we've got a bus back from Chantemerle to Monetier about 10.45 in the past, so last bus from Monetier-Briancon would be around 11 o'clock. I'll keep checking for the timetable and put a link here when I find it.

This is what last year's page said. I expect things will be much the same.

| Ski bus express are free from 7.50am to 6.20pm and Night buses from 7.30pm to 11pm |
You need a valid ski pass or guest card for the buses. There are also normal bus services that still run between 6.20 and 7.30, and timetables are up in all the bus stops.

So the forecast for SerrChe is not looking so great for the opening week, as an alternative how easy is it to get to Le Grave or L2A or even ADH? Is the road even open (wasn't the 91 closed due to landslide?). Isthere a bus or would a taxi be needed or indeed would the local firms take you?

@ADESki, there is a new relief road open, but it isn't suitable for buses. You can get to La Grave without needing to use the relief road though, as the landslide was after that.

So Le Grave is a viable option if SC is closed or highly restricted?

@ADESki,it will be if there is sufficient snow, and you will need a guide. I'm not sure how good the cover will be this early in the season. The glacier may still have a lot of crevasses.

@Hells Bells,
Thanks for that, looks like packing the swimmers is going to be the better option unless the forecast changes soon.

Walking boots as well. There's some lovely walks in the valley.

I'm trying not to get concerned about having booked an off-piste course with the UCPA at the end of January.
I know there's almost two months and I'm sure there will be plenty of pistes open at that time but off-piste base isn't built using snow-cannons...
Please tell me I'm being silly!
