 Poster: A snowHead

Whats it like getting to Chamrousse from the outlying towns etc? Are there any buses?
Just looking at maybe a flying visit early feb, cheap flight to grenoble , the accomadation in Chamrousse is pricy, 30 mins ish away is decent, but if its mission to get to the slopes then its not worth it.

@pjkais2003, The Chamrousse brochure lists the bus routes up from Grenoble.

Les Sept Laux is better.

Well, it depends on the skier. I think Chamrousse is better for easy or cruising runs. Les Sept Laux is definitely better for steeper stuff.

Chamrousse is a much smaller ski area than it looks from the piste map: the pistes are really squished together on the same mountainside, with the exceptions of the Casserousse black and the short red to Lacs Robert. Not a bad area, though, with something for everyone.
If you decide to stay in Grenoble, this gives you a chance to try Les 7 Laux and Villard de Lans as well, both are very different (1) from each other and (2) from Chamrousse.
But I would stay in Grenoble proper, not in a random outlying town where transportation is bound to be a hassle.

Make it the first week of February, before the French holidays start.

Thanks for all the replies. So better to stay in Grenoble and just bus to the resorts from there? Probs just do 2 days skiing.

Yes, better to just stay in Grenoble IMO but do check bus running days and times! Grenoble has a bad rap but is a pleasant city for a few days.
