Poster: A snowHead
|
Looking to book somewhere in VT for the Christmas week (20th to 27th December ). Found some good deals for Chalet Le Sommet - and some mixed reviews.
Anyone on here know it first hand? My primary concerns are about access to and from the post. Some comments are that it is only ski in/outable if you are REALLY good off pisters (we're not!), and the photos showing the slope down to the bridge seemed pretty damned steep, and likely to be treacherous if icy.
TIA!

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

I've never been to that chalet but even Ski Total don't claim it's ski in/out now. 500m walk down to the piste, and they don't mention how you get back. Ski bus.... stops not far away...

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

Have stayed there when it was still a Skiworld chalet. You can just about ski back to it but you need good snow and it's not easy by any means. Also, probably the worst location in the whole resort for nightlife etc as it's a long uphill walk from the town.
Can't comment on the food and service as it was with a different tour op when I stayed there.

@froomie, thanks. I think we will look elsewhere.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@t40ora, unless you're set on a specific resort/accommodation you might get some good last minute offers.

@pam w, nothing fixed but due to snow uncertainty we've focussed on VT.

the next week or so could see a big change in the "snow certainty" picture for many resorts in France and Austria. The cold temperatures will possibly be helping more than the somewhat modest snowfalls so far, with a chance to get snow cannons working during a cold week.
