Poster: A snowHead
|
We're skiing at half-term for the first time this year. Eurostar (kids are very excited) to Lyon and hire car from there. I'd usually bank on a bit over two hours for the drive Lyon to Oz en Oisans, but wondering how terrible the roads will be, leaving Lyon at 1pm Saturday? Not that I want to see the England game or anything...

I think it will be very busy as two school areas of France will be on holiday. Once you get through Vizille it should be fine.

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

@howiet, is Vizille the place with the petrol station and supermarket on thre roundabout where you hang a right? Always get snarled up there.

It will be busy, so allow plenty of time and at the moment you need snow chains up the mountain

@warbis66, do you think that will still be the case on Saturday? I'd assumed roads would be clear by then?

There is snow due tomorrow then after that it's sunny so you should be fine at the weekend. Just remember your return to Lyon is 10 days away and we don't really know what the weather will be like.
Most of the supermarkets sell chains but at an alpine resort price!

Indeed! Have the option at the rental place for chains. We've been to Oz a number of times, but never needed chains - always found the roads cleared pretty quickly.

Roads were really busy last year so allow plenty time.
