Poster: A snowHead
|
The Seagraves are trying to capitalise on some domestic enthusiasm and book an inexpensive, driveable late season excursion.
Prices in Chamrousse are low for w/b 30th March - am I right to be suspicious? Never been there before.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

I've never been although it's not that far from here. It's the local station for Grenoble. Only goes up to 2250m. I think I'd want somewhere a bit higher tbh.

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

Generally it is ok through to the end of April at resort level (1750m) thanks to snow making etc and we've ski toured in June from resort in good snow years. March is often very pleasant with warm conditions and south sector pistes. There is not a lot of vertical as Claude points out, 600 meters or so and obviously not a huge ski area but there are lots of other activities besides skiing - a snowshoe hike to the lac Achard would be a treat if you are that way inclined.
Always best to book later at the tail end of the season though if you can.

God, I love that Lac Robert piste, beautiful and secluded.
I reply to the post, I can confirm having been to Chamrousse a lot in Spring time that I can't remember any difficulties really.
