 Poster: A snowHead
|
We are off to Les Gets on the 20. January and looking at the forcasts, snow may well be thin on the ground. Over the last couple of weeks of watching webcams, I have been looking at the slopes turn green and the number open go down to single figures.
Obviously we want to try and get some skiing in while we are there. There seems to be snow at Avoriaz so may head over there if possible. Does anyone know if there are connecting ski buses between the two resorts?
We will have a small car with us, but that was only intended for the beer run into town and it wont fit nine of us in with our skis.
Any other suggestions welcome...

I posted a similar question yesterday - options without a car look very limited, unless the resorts lay on extra buses. There is apparently an infrequent bus between Les Gets and Morzine, and then definitely a bus out to the Prodains cable car from there.
The advice I was given - and it seems sensible - is to make sure you have your own transport and then drive out to Ardent (past Lac du Montriond) where you can pick up a telecabine straight into the Avoraiz area.
Good luck - I'm supposed to be heading out on the 18th but I must admit I'm considering cancelling.

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

I'm pretty certain there's a bus link to les Prodains cablecar just outside Morzine, then it's just a 3 minutes ride up to Avoriaz, you can also use the chairlift from across the road but it's old, creaky and takes ages. Avoriaz is a great place, was there on boxing day, had more snow than all the other resorts I went to during xmas week, so you should be fine. Hope you get fresh snow though.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I've got bus from Prodains to Morzine, Ardent to Morzine, and Morzine to Les Gets before, but never the complete route between Les Gets and one of the Avoriaz access points. *If* the Les Gets bus goes to "Mairie" (and not just Office du Tourisme), then I *think* it is 1 change for a bus to Prodains or Ardent. If it goes to Office du Tourisme, then 1 change for bus to Prodains, or walk to Super Morzine (which claims to be open).
Car would be prefereble. In which case Ardent Telecabine has reasonable carpark, and easy access. 15min or so drive.
I will be staying at Chalet Tressud in Les Gets that week, so will have the same problem! Hopefully I can blag a few minibus rides c/o chalet staff, but happy to get bus also.
Disclaimer: that's my interpretation of the map/timetable linked in the other thread, and my 3 bus rides where I just hopped on with people who knew where they were going, so I wasn't paying complete attention to the route.

When last we were in Les Gets (which is some years ago) we took the bus to Morzine...no ski boots allowed on board so need to take your boot bag. Got the free navette from Morzine round to Prodains. Wasn't too difficult to do and the bus timings were fairly easy to work out. If you've got your own transport then it would be much easier.
