Poster: A snowHead
|
hi all fellow snowheads, I recently posted a topic regarding the resort of Combloux, that I admit I had not heard of, received loads of brilliant advice (thanks to all previous contributors) and have decided this is the place for us and a few other families next feb half term. have narrowed the accommodation down to the apartment complex of le floralp, but would be interested if any other snowheads have experience of this place, as I would appreciate any unbiased reviews regarding position and mainly the layout of the various size apartments, 10/7/5 and 4 person apartments as all are on our radar!!!
cheers
terry

@terrygasson, no knowledge of the apartments but in terms of location, will you have cars to get up to the ski area in the mornings?

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

@pam w, yes some will have cars if need be, but have been told it is fairly close to the free shuttle stop and also the small drag that takes you up to main lift area for those who have skied before.

Hmm. Fairly close. If that's the shuttle which goes up the main (ish) road from the village it's about 1km, looking at Google Maps, which is more than I'd want to walk in ski boots a couple of times a day. It's about half that to the small drag but as I mentioned before when I was in Combloux in March that drag looked unusable - basically grass and mud, so although it would probably be OK in February, it's not 100% reliable. It would also be quite a hike into Combloux Centre, in the evening. I don't want to sound discouraging - Combloux is a lovely village and the views from the ski area are stunning. But I think I'd want to be in the village centre, near a shuttle stop, or up at the base of the ski area itself, if I wasn't planning to commute daily by car (which wouldn't be a problem, there's a big car park).
But maybe there's another shuttle which goes closer to the apartments - I'd get absolute chapter and verse if I were you, on the precise distance.
