Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

No run, very much an off piste and only doable when snow is at its very best.
Do not rely on it.
But why does that matter? Le Chable is an excellent place to stay for quick and easy Verbier access (quicker than most of Verbier itself) at a much reduced cost.

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

i conway, Le Chable is great. However there is no skiing down to the town, but you have easy access to Verbier one of the best resorts in the world, and Bruson a little gem with lots of untracked off piste.
Welcome to snowheads.

It's a good call, as they said above you can get to Verbier and Bruson really easily.
There is a marked route from Bruson down to Le Chable, but again it needs a pretty good coverage to be useable - it's not pisted, but it's fairly easy going.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Oh, and Les Carroz is dead handy from Geneva and gets you into the Flaine area very easily.

I did ski down to Le Chable twice this winter, once was involved skiing a muddy track behind a school, another a short walk, fun but not really skiing.

I always park in le Chable to go up to Verbier, super quick and no need to change at Medran as it goes all the way up to Ruinettes. With the Bruson link now from the same gondola station le Chable is now even more attractive to stay in.
Last lift down from Verbier is at 19:30 so there is time for a beer or three in Verbier itself before heading down.

Ooh, does one not have to take the bus to Bruson any more? (I just love that place.)
