Poster: A snowHead
|
My mate has a list of 50 things to do before he's 50. One of which is to drive a piste basher. Do they do this in Serre Che?

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

@RetroBod, you can go out with a piste basher, but not sure if you can drive it yourself.

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

@Hells Bells, thanks. Do you have any personal experience of the trips? Do they actually let you drive?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@RetroBod, no sorry, I haven't done any of the trips. I know a few years back there was an area possibly at the top of Casse di Beouf which might have been for the punters to try out the piste bashers, but I haven't seen that recently. Maybe I haven't been looking though. It does look like it is a ride in the piste basher rather than driving one.

There was an article about this in The Times yesterday. Interesting trip I'm sure.

Go to Serre Chevalier tourist web. They do piste basher trips including meal on the mountain.
Only problem was they take you up 6ish and get you back 11ish. So bit of a long excursion!!

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Courchevel, France, let's you drive a pistebully.
It costs €100-200.
But with such poor snow in the Alps this year, a lot of their activities have been scaled back and may not always be available.
Alternatively, buy one for leisure use. They cost about €20-30k preowned.
