 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
So, after our mammoth (first) drive to the Alps last Saturday ( skimaggedon?!) 20hrs from Macon - supposed to be 3 and a half hrs drive. What am I to expect tomorrow? Any words of wisdom greatly appreciated. Have to say, we've had an awesome week in La Rosiere so glad for the snow! Sorry if a little incoherent, too many vin chaud!

Leave early because the roads will be busy - if you go at 10:00 along with everyine else you will sit in traffic. I'd get up early and go about 07:00, then get brekkie somewhere north of Lyon.

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

This has to be good advice.
Even if you go and tell the family to pack and you are going to leave at 10 pm and drive in shifts to get to mid france and then have a nap, at least you will be away from the major spots
Good luck

Leave by 0700 at the latest. Or, better, enjoy the day skiing on quiet slopes (though the weather doesn't look great) then leave about 5, drive 5 hours north then stop for the night.

I always avoid leaving on changeover days - Left Morzine at 7 this morning -rolled onto 3:20 ferry at Calais , I always book the ferry around 5pm , and if we arrive early 9 times out of 10 get on an earlier sailing but if it's longer trip through france then there is a bit of a contingency built in.
I should say that we have been in Morzine for 3 weeks so didn't mind leaving today although however long we are there for I always want another couple of days

my best advice if you're leaving tonoght/tomorrow morning is to ski today, go out for dinner and then set off after dinner.... possibly only as far as Lyon if from Tarentaise/3Vs/LDA/ADH or Bourg-en-Bresse if from the Northern Alpes.
You'll be behind todays rush and ahead of tomorrows and will probably have a relatively clear run!
