Chris Brookes, drive down the valley and back up to Peisey is the easiest way. Straightforward if you have a car or are happy to pay for a taxi. I think it's about a 15-20 minute.

rob@rar, we have a car but wasnt sure the distance and how easy it was. Is there a car park where you can dump your car and jump on a lift and ski or is it alot of hazzle etc ?

Chris Brookes, sorry, can't help with info on parking as I've only done that journey out of the ski season.

Chris Brookes, Option might be to look at Peisey Nancroix and take the lift from there, we have passed over this village form the Vanoise and seems to be street parking near the lift there. If you come across to Peisey can we borrow your car and go across to La Plagne

Chris Brookes, Parking is in easier Plan Peisey just below the Vanoise than lower down in old Peisey, where it can be a little tight and risk of dents from local service vehicles turning.

Chris Brookes, Parking can be tight, as the new Club Med charges £70 a week for their clients to park there & offers no free parking for their staff. The result is that the street parking gets taken quite early by the ESF club med staff & others - we watch from our balcony . I think you might be lucky either down in Vallandry or above the Vanoise. Take pot luck - I'm sure you'll find somewhere. Up by The Mont Blanc is also worth trying - very close access to the Grizzli lift. As Martin Nicholas, says., I wouldnt try Peisey Nancroix.

To give you an update of weather In Les Arcs, as of Monday morning, we have good & bad news:
Good news
There was 25cm of new snow on Sat. evening, and a lot more last night high up, according to Les Arcs radio - 80cm in total!
Bad news
The weather is much warmer than last week, grey & murky as I write, raining (at 1800 metres in Plan Peisey), and it has washed away some of the snow lower down. According to the radio, most of the upper lifts are closed, due to avalanche danger & blasting.(I can hear the booms!), and it recommends skiers to go to the sheltered forest pistes of Peisey Vallandry, where it is obviously damp & foggy.
Better weather is forecast for tomorrow, so I can look forward to some good skiing then!

From the look of the Blue Bar webcam in Arc 1800 (which is actually at 1700m  ) it has now started to snow, big and presumably wet snowflakes, after rain earlier today at that altitude.

| Plan tomorrow is to do the Agile run from the glacier. |
Check to see if the Aiguille Rouge cablecar is open first thing. The avalanche risk is going to be very high and the pisteurs may have to do lots of work to secure the Aiguille Rouge before they let people up there. It can be one of the last to open after a heavy snowfall.
Enjoy the rest of the week
