 Poster: A snowHead
|
Does anyone know if it is possible to ski from Hotel La Foret over to Grizzly lift
The maps look like Foret is a bit lower than Grizzly so maybe i have to go down to Vallandry lift but I have a vague recollection there was a path that leads over to grizzly that we could just about follow

gwatts10, Foret drops in below Grizzly lift and you'd have to hike up hill to get to it - that's assuming hotel is on Foret of course.
I think you'd have to go down to Vallandry lift, whcih to all intents and purposes takes you to the same place as Grizzly - benefit of Grizzly is at peak times in morning when there is hardly any q, but q at Vallandry can be avoided by an early start or having an extra coffee.
Coming back to Vallandry you can either use Foret or take split to Liason Grizzly which will take you to Grizzly.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

If you get desperate, the free little bus will take you round from that side of this hill up to grizzly

But would almost certainly be quicker to wait and get on Vallandry lift

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Agreed , I thought it dropped down a but too low , but we can always see the queue and take a decision to hike for a 2 minutes to avoid the queue or just go down and join it

I think Boris is right, Ski Olympic / Chalethotel La Foret is at the end of La Foret trail, but after the split between it and Liaison Grizzly. So you come out just above Vallandry lift but significantly below Grizzly lift. Pity, as Vallandry queues are usually longer than Grizzly.

^^ what bobski62 said is right. Just avoid ski school times and it should be fine.

Here's a sneaky tip for school holidays: when coming down xxxxx Aigle always take the piste's left fork as you approach the lift station, crossing under the chairlift cables. The queue on that side is always significantly shorter than the other...
Could that be considered ever-so-slightly "Italian"?
No such option on Vallandry.

bobski62, Don't you mean Aigle?
I thought that was the run which dropped you straight onto Grizzly, with Morey heading over more to join Foret?
Post morning rush, neverhad to queue at either Grizzly or Vallandry as everyone rushed over to Arc Bowl and ignored all the good tree skiing above Vallandry

Because they are all waiting in that mega queue at Plan Bois?

Oops. You're completely right Boris, Aigle.
