Poster: A snowHead
|
Hoping someone with current in-resort knowledge can help here.
We have booked a chalet in Les Brevieres for New Year week, but lack of snow looks as though we will have to get ourselves to Tignes 2100 to ski. Chairlift from les Brevieres seems open from 8:45 am to 16:45, and buses from Les Boisse every 30 mins to Tignes 2100. I can see us not getting to the slopes until after 9:30, and will have to get resort bus back from 2100 before 4:30 if we are to get the last chairlift back to Les Brevieres. We are family of 4 with 2 red-run able boys who, with Dad, want to maximise the amount of slope time!. We will have a car - would it be better to drive early to 2100 so we don't have to push for the last chairlift back, or is that road going to take us longer and then there is parking to pay for in 2100? - or is there any other way than the chairlift to get back to Les Brevieres, as the resort bus looks as though it only goes to Les Boisse (1800). Any suggestions welcome to keep my 3 boys happy !

@redskifamily47, Welcome to I will & try to answer your questions;
1. Due to the current snow conditions and lack of lift access to Tignes from Le Brevieres the buses from Le Boisse are running more frequently. I believe at peak periods every 10 minutes or as they get full.
2. You need to get the lift from Le Brevieres to Le Boisse in the morning. The alternative is to drive to Le Boisse, 10 minutes, and park there.
3. You can probably ski back from Le Boisses in the evening down a very easy blue.
4. Hopefully non of the above will apply as the Chaudane lift opened today and hopefully the lifts from Le Brevieres will open later this week even though you may have to down load to Le Brevieres.
Keep an eye on the Tignes thread for more up to date info.

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

redskifamily47, The bus from Les Boisses will run more often than usual, see here.
There was also an official email that someone copied to the main Tignes thread that stated that people staying in Les Brevieres could ask for a free parking space in Val Claret and drive up, why not email the Tourist Office and ask.

Thanks Stewart Woodward and rjs - useful info, and sounds promising that there may be more lifts open, more frequent buses etc. Will definitely email the Tourist Office. Good idea. Thanks for that. I'm struggling to find the main Tignes thread ! (new to this forum) - will have another look.
