 Poster: A snowHead
|
From a mixture of old probably out of date posts/web sites mixed with newer ones in rather unclear franglais I can't work out if La Grave is included if you have a 6 day Deux Alpes pass. Anyone know?
Can you hire guides in Deux Alpes for La Grave and any idea how much for one day?

| Posidrive, You don't get free access like you used to, you do get a reduction though. I'm not sure how much it works out though. I think guides are fairly standard rates European Ski School also run day trips which work out cheaper http://www.europeanskischool.eu/en/day-trips-to-la-grave.html |
Thanks.
Was also thinking of visiting Alpe D'Huez for a day or so which appears to definitely be included. Helicopter sounds cool but possible too weather dependent and the shuttle bus may be a scramble to book so any idea of taxi costs between Deux Alpes and Huez?

Posidrive, Don't know I'm afraid. The bus runs two days a week I think so if you book when you arrive it should be OK. When are you there?
Taxi to Auris would be cheapest, it's the nearest link into Alpe D'Huez.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

First week of March. Planning the options for when/if we run out of things to do in Deux Alpes itself.

You'll need to Register first of course.

I don't know the cost but it is further than you'd think to Alp d'Huez by road.
If you can sit around for a few years they are planning a ski lift link.

snowball, Closest driving is to Auris which links into Alpe D'Huez. 20km or so.

Four seasons back, the ESS in L2A were doing group day trips. I recall that the cost was 60 or maybe 70 Euros which included the minibus ride there and back (link lifts to L2A at top of P3 weren't running).
This is what you got ...

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

From memory last year with a serre che pass you got something like 10 euros off around 30-40 euros for a day pass and there was a free car park.

FAQ
I'm there a lot this season but not then, I've always found plenty to do. Another suggestion for an excellent free day (book at Tourist Office, held weekly)
