 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
We are looking at a chalet that sits on the blue Laberieu that runs down from Morillon to Morillon Village. On the piste map and on Google it looks like it crosses the road at several points and then ends quite a way from the lift. Can anyone tell me the actual situation? I've got a horrible feeling that it might not even have enough snow in early Jan meaning we'd have to walk down every morning. Of course that will be my fault and I'll suffer the consequences. Thanks.

Yeah that run does have a few road crossing did it boxing day the winter before last and it was in a pretty poor state, had to do a couple of stream crossings and unstrap for the roads although I did ride over one without unstrapping. A couple of days later it was fine so it's the same as anywhere really just need enough snow.

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

Snow Hound, its usually closed unless snow is very very good, (and it was superb xmas 2 seasons ago) and in early jan very unlikely to be open, you may be lucky but morillon village is very low, down to 700m. Plan on using the gondola and a bonus if you get to ski in / out

Once you get to the bottom it's about 200m + to the gondola but it is a flat walk so carrying everybodies skis shouldn't be too bad for you.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Car? If not yeah you'll be walking... I have been to the GM several times and that run down to Morillon has only ever been open once, however, I did still ride down it when closed... You just need to slide across the roads (not the best for the board) and find the best route possible...
Morillon is lovely if you have never been before, but maybe look at someone either in the village, or up at the station... as opposed to in between the two...

We stayed down in the village and skied back down a couple of times which was fine as long as you didn't mind crossing the road a few times or brown snow
