Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Richie_S, if you have google earth installed, then you should be able to click on the link above and open it with google earth. It will open the app and automagically zoom in on L2A, showing you all the lifts, runs and various other things.

Richie_S, the kmz file is a Google Earth reference and you need G'Earth installed and a fast connection to use it.

Awesome! Hopefully something for other resorts to do as well. It's amazing with Terrain turned on.

If you're careful you can even get an angle of the Matterhorn that I haven't got a photo from Laughing

If there are more of these how about a sticky thread of google earth ski resorts ?

Not that I'm aware of, although I'm going to email the Tourist Office via the resort's website to suggest they do one (although I won't hold my breath; the Les Arcs website doesn't seem very useful to me).
