 Poster: A snowHead
|
I'm going to Leysin this weekend with my kids and, having not skied there for a few years I need some advice on where to go.
They're both young, 4 and 7, and at a very basic level where they're too good for nursery slopes but are often challenged by sections of what Switzerland calls blue runs. I'm also looking for uncrowded pistes as, having been taken out a couple of years ago by an out of control skier, I really don't want the same to happen to them as they don't carry the same level of lardarsed protection as me.
I remember that the Fers area has a couple of blues and the area quite tucked away, so likely to be quiet, but I can't remember if the blue pistes to get there from the top of the chair at Tete d'Ai are easy enough. I think it's also possible to drive from Leysin and park close to the bottom of the Solepraz chair at Fers.
Thanks in advance

I LOVE Leysin, not been since 1988, though. Every season I get the free days out pass with the PdS pass, and every year I promise mtself I will go to Leysin (I only live 1h45 away FGS), but every year I am a dick, and end up going to Cham, Verbier, Flaine etc.... with my days out passes.
Please report back on your return, as I would love to hear that is still Fab!

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

Will be there on Saturday with the nipper and ski club - be aware that it was fairly icy up top there the weekend before last, the blue from the gondola at berneuse was icy as you like - but from tete d'ai and fers side, you should be fine. I'd imagine it'll be fairly empty also, enjoy!

Leysin was my first ski holiday about 35 years ago. All I can remember was that it was great fun
