Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Advice from 4x4 experts please?

@dredgey, well in spite of all the nay-sayers offering advice, I hope you have a great trip. I think it's a nice adventure to go there in any car and great fun for a family.

I've always liked Les Esserts since first staying there as well, and with the new snowfall it should be a really good week. The people working there have always been friendly and helpful to us, from pass office, ESF, nursery staff, apartment administration, lifties, and of course the pisteurs who work so hard to get things in great shape for us to enjoy our skiing.

Have a great week, and try the tartiflette in L'Beu if you get a chance, it's one of the best.

@dredgey, my advice would be to read carefully the posts above by @japes1275 and @zikomo. Especially - do NOT engage the diff lock except on slippery ground and remember that 4-wheel drive doesn't help much when braking (unless, perhaps, you employ engine braking and double declutch).

@ski3, thank you for the positive post! I'll certainly look out for that tartiflette!

So turns i really didn't even need to think about the diff or anything; tarmac all the way.

As for going in a Defender, hmmm it wasn't that bad. It wasn't as comfy as a normal car but generally fine. We didn't break down (although there's always the return journey), and we did 2 and a 1/4 tanks of diesel and stuck around 80mph.

My issue really was the m25, one accident and we missed our ferry which put us back and meant I drove through the night with no sleep. Kids and wives in the back slept ok though.

Morillon 1100 les esserts so far is great!
