or is there a free bus ? How far aprt are the two villages ?
Is it like Val D'Isere where you rely on the free bus, you wouldn't want to walk from La Di or Le fornet back to the main town.
I can't see any mention of a free ski bus anywhere

micky,
You could walk but there is a regular free bus which only takes about 5 minutes.

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

micky, I don't think you'd want to walk. I used a bus quite a lot because I had lessons at 1850 but was staying in 1650. It seemed quite a long way. There was little traffic at the time and the bus got up quite a speed. It might only have been 5 minutes - seemed more but it was a long time ago and maybe my memory is playing tricks. I'd say it was a bit further than La Daille to the centre of Val D'Isere. But that's impressionistic, too. I don't remember having to wait too long for the bus.

Just over 2 miles by road Centre 1850 - centre of 1650. Suggest you take the bus.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

The free bus runs until 11.30pm. I'd take the bus.

You can walk it easily in summer, but you would want to hope that the path is covered in snow at the moment.

I was just getting an idea of how spread out the villages are, someone who has been there said there are cable lifts everywhere but they don't show on the piste map I've seen - I don't think he is aware of 1650's location.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

I walked it a couple of years ago when we were there for a week. It snowed so much we couldn't ski. We were up to our waists in snow on the path and it was quite scary - so I don't recommend it!
