Poster: A snowHead

Can you come back down from the summit of the grand motte in tignes on the gondola and then the funicular?
Or do you have to ski down?

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

@Skilock317, You can certainly get the funicular down.

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

@Skilock317, I assume the mean the cable car. I’ve never done that but I’d be surprised if you can’t.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

When I was there at New Year two years ago I only took the funicular and the cable car up the way, but the funicular is certainly two way, and I'm pretty sure the cable car is too - I think I remember some folk going down on it, and I don't think I would have gone up without an escape - as it was, I was the shakiest pair of skis on the red run...

You can definitely descend on both lifts.

Why would you get the cable car down? The upper slope is hardly steep and no steeper than parts on any Blue piste in the EK.

@bar shaker, Not something I can imagine doing myself but I could imagine a relative beginner getting quite nervous up there if the conditions were closing in.

Also the snow can be very hard packed sometimes and the fact that it is quite a long run could make it appear quite daunting to a beginner.
I was leading a small group up there some years ago and we became split up and could not get on the same cable car. I was one of the first group and as we were waiting for the rest, one person asked me if we could start going down as he suffered from agoraphobia. I thought that was a fine time to tell me.

@Skilock317, yes, you can definitely come down both the cable car and funicular. Queues much shorter than on way up
Views from top of Grande Motte spectacular.
