 Poster: A snowHead

Hi all,
Driving to the Alps for a few days with a couple of mates in a converted van in late Feb/early March - need some help finding the right spot please!
We are all good skiers so need decent sized area and good expert skiing.
We'd like to park up as close to slopes + bars as possible, but need access to a toilet and a shower. Heated ski lockers would be ideal to make sure boots are dry etc.
Is there anything out there that hits this list? Have spent a couple hours researching and struggling a bit.
Thanks in advance!

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

Use Edit Post to adjust your title to include the word “van”, and you’ll target a more appropriate audience

@mblack246, welcome to SHs.
No idea on where you should be heading, but a serious question - who converted your van? (and how old is it?) We had 2 friends who bought "converted" vans to tour Europe last year, both ended up in hideous problems with insurance and breakdowns, basically their vans were end-of-life trades vehicles, poorly converted for sleeping, and spent their euro tours falling apart ...

Main car park in Le Châble or Sports centre in Verbier? Public facilities pretty good standard in CH

Converted van for sleeping in -15C needs to be well insulated too, different from a summer trip around France!

Thanks all, will check out the suggestions - any others very welcome!
My friend converted the van with his brother and he's assured me several times it's very well insulated with a proper heater etc. Not really worried on this front as a) he knows what he's doing, and b) if it is cold we can just drive to a hotel somewhere for a few days, no big deal.
Thanks again.
