Poster: A snowHead
|
what resorts would people recommend in France for there good skiers and a non skier who takes the dog?
Les Houches was good for the dog but at Christmas the 2014 snow hopeless
Argentiere good for the dog but a bit of travel necessary for good skiers
La Tania good for skiers but dog's and walker's knees almost broken beyond repair last year!!
all suggestions gratefully received

@Scrinchy, @Scrinchy, we take ours to Serre Chevalier all the time. There are plenty of walks along the valley for the dog and accompanying non-skier. Restaurants and bars are dog-friendly. Check my signature for more info.

Les Saisies is very good for dog walking, just about the who!e mountain ski area is accessible on foot. On the face of it not a challenging resort for a good skier but the steep stuff is away from the village.
Can't think of anywhere else that comes near and we do 6 or 7 resorts a year in the camper which we bought because of the dog.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@Scrinchy, @Scrinchy, there's also a good motorhome site in Montgenevre, and again plenty of walking. Across the border into Italy too.

Its actually one 2 month trip with a move every 3 to 7 days. Austria is expensive for a long trip because you can't really stay outside campsites, we've stayed at camp in Solden which is very nice but about €40 a night.
The aire at Les Saisies is normally over half full, with 2 or 3 UK vans, and costs €8 a night, there is also a small campsite. You can get a gas bottle delivered from the village store and there is a flotbleu in the adjacent coach park. There are often dog sled teams using some specially prepared trails over the road which are good for a quick walk. You can walk to all 3 mountain tops on footpaths, Mont Bisanne is about 2km and in the opposite direction Mont Vores is a full afternoon roundtrip on dedicated paths. Lots of snowshoe paths through the trees too.
