 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
Thanks to heavy rain on Friday in Les gets , there’s apparently a lack of snow with piste closures. The obvious thing is to go to avoriaz, but the rest of the world will also be there ! Where can we get to further afield that might be ok ? We have purchased Porte du soleil passes. We are thinking up to, but no more than, an hour drive away. We don’t mind purchasing the odd extra ski pass day. Many thanks ski buddies

Depends what you mean by driving distance? Cham is about an hour - I imagine there’s bits of Grands Montets that are ok. Verbier is around 2-2.5hrs I think?
But all the normal “day trips” are suffering the same if not worse. Colder from midweek and hopefully much better conditions in 10-14 days though. |

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

But maybe read the reports from Les Contamines first......
There are detailed reports on ALL these areas on the relevant threads.

A lot of Les Gets is grassy meadowland with not many rocks - so 20-30cm can make a huge difference.
