 Poster: A snowHead
|
My life is a seris of stories, this one is no different!
I'll be in Chambery dropping some friends off after 2 weeks in Alpe D'Huez (very excited!) and due to a likely employment change I will have a spare week from 19th March  I can change my flight to later!
So, the questions are:
From Chambery, where should I ( and potentially a friend) head to resort wise? Not ADH as they have the music festival... I would like somewhere with a decent ski area, high(ish) for the snow. I would probably need to hire a car too, so could go a bit more non british????
Ideally a catered chalet, but could self cater (eat out) as on the ADH trip i'm in charge of cooking - long story, don't ask.
Ski wise, like to cruise the reds and blues, some blacks are fine too, cover some KM's but not really up to anything extreme these days.
Budget won't be massive as that week I'll be between jobs!
Any suggestions welcomed!

L2D also has a music festival on that week.
Take a look at Sunweb offerings of accommodation & liftpass? Lots of maurinne valley (Valmeiner/Valloire, Francis longchamp, valfrejus, val cenis & les sybelles) resorts for under £200!

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

Mr Egg's suggestion is a good one, but I'd be in no hurry to decide - a lot could happen with the snow (for better or worse) in the next month. You could book a rental car and just sit back and relish the choice you'll have. If you rent a car in Chambery, just make sure you have chains, as it is unlikely to have snow tyres.
There aren't that many catered chalets these days, but a lot of them are "accommodation only" and some might be offering last minute bargains, which you'll be in an ideal situation to pick up, not needing flights. There are several in La Tania, for example.

Thanks for the tips.
Les Sybelles with a Sunweb offer looks to good to be true! Plenty of skiing and flippin cheap! Can stay a week with a lift pass for less than the lift pass 
Cheers

Les Sybelles is a great call… If you hire a car you can also rasily hit some other local areas if you fancy a change of scenery (St François, Valloire etc).

Double check the accommodation location on google maps. Make sure it is in one of the main resorts.

Les Sybelles is a nice place to spend a week, it can suffer a bit due to general lack of altitude but you should be fine. St Sorlin D'Arves is probably the most attractive and traditional village, Toussuire and Le Corbier are a bit like Plagne Centre in appearance.
