 Poster: A snowHead
|
I have been searching for a new place to go in France on Net4Ski and there seem to an abundance of cheap places here and in the lower resort of Joue de Loup.
Anyone know much about these places? They seem to be favoured by the French, but that doesn't necessarrily mean they are bad - in fact it would be nice to visit France and actually get to hear the language once in a while!
I am hoping for a bit of nightlife as well as Ski to door and plenty of the white stuff of course. (neige)
Over to you...

Kaiser, I've stood at the foot of the slopes in mid-Summer if that helps? Looked like a typical French apartment block type of town, slopes looked interesting on the piste map, although not many kms, but it's very hard to tell when they're green! It was teeming in Summer with people enjoying general mountainy type activities...all very French....and I wouldn't be averse to giving it a try. Bound to be someone here who's been there during the white season..

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

I've had a look at the piste map and wonder whether my urge for feeling like I have conquered the domaine and still managed to catch the last lift home will be satisfied!
I liked the look of the accomodation in La Joue du Loup - new apts that seem pretty cheap in mid March.

SuperD is relatively ugly consisting of a big apartment block. Lots of drags when I was last there but some of these have no doubt been replaced. There is a variety of skiing, I enjoyed but but most Brits seem to need 400km+ to keep themselves busy.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Kaiser,
I live about 45 minutes away, and have been a few times. It's quite French, and can get busy in peak holiday times, especially the weekends. Friends tell me there is a new lift going in at Joue de loup, which would help. There is a lot of building works for new apartments going on, but clad in wood, so don't look like the '70s blocks. Devouly itself is more of an eyesore, but there you can park and then slide over to the lifts.
They operate the hands free pass system, which is useful in the cold. As the group I was with had beginners, I have yet to ski all the runs.
I can't comment on nightlife, but it would be a surprise if it was extensive.
