 Poster: A snowHead
|
Sooooooo…
Looking forward to next trip in a few weeks. With kiddos - which might be relevant 
I understand a 6 day lift pass at L2A gets me a day skiing at ADH? Is this true? And if so - how do I get to AdH and back from L2A?

There’s a bus but there’s also a really cool helicopter trip which was 80 euro return when we were there last year. You book tickets for the helicopter at the lift ticket office and it runs three days a week.

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

If you have a car available, you could (I would) drive. Not as flashy, but neither as polluting and much cheaper. From 2Alpes I'd probably go up to Auris which shouldn't be more than a 30min drive (650m down, than 600m up right on the other side).

I’m considering Deux Alpes for a late season weekend. Flights are booked for 18 to 22 April in to Geneva but not picked a resort yet. Last year we did Val D’Isere which was honestly superb and we got a bargain hotel deal too.
I know the right answer is wait and book nearer the time but is Deux Alpes worth even considering? I’m guessing the snow should be fine up towards the glacier but the runs back to resort level could be a bit patchy (it’s at about 1600m I think). Guessing you can download too but if home runs are closed then is there enough to keep us interested for three and a bit days? The hotels seem to be coming in a whole lot cheaper than Val D’Isere or Val Thorens (no great surprise I guess).

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@bigtuboflard,
I guess it depends on how much you feel you need for 3 and a bit days. It's certainly a bit smaller than the other resorts you mention but most of it's skiing is at altitude and I'd be happy going there.

@bigtuboflard, it's a decent size ski area with high altitude skiing, hence a closing date of 28th April so yeah definitely an option.

Thanks @T Bar, @Layne, I don’t mind covering the same ground each day with a bit of variation. I’ve done entire weeks at smaller resorts (Grand Bornand for example) so think it’s a strong contender. Shame the new Jandri isn’t open yet as that would have made it even better for getting up high quick, will just have to do that from chairlifts instead.

Well, finished three days of snowboarding and skiing in LDA and it’s been great. I’d have liked the home runs to have been open but downloading has been fine. Everything from Toura and above has been in excellent condition and had some powder turns up on the glacier and on Signal yesterday. Slightly busier than I was expecting but most of that was around the park at Toura as there was a camp of some kind over the weekend.
With the new lift going in for next season it’ll make getting up to the glacier twice as fast as it is now.
I’d seriously consider another late season trip here as there’s been more than enough to keep us occupied.
