Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Not sure about VT specifically, but overall the first full week seems quietest (and cheapest!) to me.

Will the 3V not be full of Russians until the 9th or so?

@ The cramps: Ive been Val Thorens twice and both times have been for the same week in January.
We always go snowboarding every year for my birthday (being January 05th) so which ever saturday that week is in, thats
When we fly out for the week.

The week around Jan 05th anywere you go (including both times at Val Tho) were superbly quiet with practiclly empty slopes! I genuinly had one run from top to bottom to ourselves on one day and with our 3 valleys pass (definately recommended) we ventured over to Les Menuires and on that day we had 2 runs from top to bottom again all to our ourselves. I doubt very much you will be queing up at all around thisnweek and the following week for the aforementioned reasons (AND) the fact that the peak xmas and newyear dates are out the way, and all those schmuks with all their kids hav gone back home so its awsome!! Very Happy

Pedantica, Rumour has it there won't be as many Russians in Courchevel this year.
We were talking to a mountain guide in Pralognan in August who also ski guides in the 3 valleys in Winter and they were expecting a big drop in numbers of Russian visitors this year. Apparently St Tropez suffered from a drop in Russian visitors this Summer and they are expecting the trend to continue into Winter.

Si_Dean,

From Val T to La Tania is possible in 6 lift rides (& 4 runs), so is easily doable for lunch. Each lift ride probably averages about 5 minutes, so leaving Val T at 9.00 am would give you plenty of time for each run (& one of them is a 3 minute run...) to get you to La Tania for 12 noon. In effect, taking account of the 3 minute run, you'd have about 50 minutes for each of the other 3 runs...

you could probably stop at bouc blanc for lunch rather than dropping all the way into la tania, it would save time on the way back up.

I would try and swerve it around the middle of January as its full of University ski trips. I drove my daughter over from Switzerland last year (made her get the train back though.....never again) for her Uni trip and have never seen anything like it. Might be worth checking other times out as most of the universities seem to use VT now. Daughters Uni alone had about 12 coaches and they weren't the only ones.
