Anyone know if there is any parking available at the top of the Chavannes telecabine in Les Gets (near the Yeti restaurant)?

rob@rar, there used to be, but I haven't been there for years. Not a lot of space, but v convenient.

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

There is still parking up there. It gets quite busy, but if you are up earlier enough you shouldn't have a problem getting a spot.

rob@rar, All on the side of road parking but a fair bit available as garyscott20, says the earlier you get there the shorter the distance uphill you have to walk.

How early is early? My meeting time will be 9.30am each day, but I'll probably want to get there 30 minutes before hand. I'll be there for the first two weeks of March, so probably not too busy?

I reckon you will easily be fine if you are planning on getting there between 09:00-09:30. We have often got there after 10:00 and still got a parking.

rob@rar, don't forget your snowchains! I was up there once in March in a Sprinter van and even with chains on had to dig us out - and that was after I'd managed to unfreeze the lock on the door so I could get the key in.

RachelQ, I'll keep a close eye on the weather, and will park at the bottom of the lift if it looks like snow. Avoid chains at all cost is my motto...

dub_01, I think I will need to retrieve some stuff from the car at the end of the skiing day, so getting down to the car park and then back up will be a pain.

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

I parked there all last week, never failing to park at the top, 10 steps froe the snow. I left the apartment each day at just before nine. If you can do it half term week, youcan do it anytime..

the point is that you miss the bottle neck of billions of beginners hoofing up the hill each am on the 6 seater and the bubble.
And youcan go grab your lunch, hats, dosh, etc with no dramas..

rob@rar, Park at the "Pic Bar" opposite the Mt. Chery lift station. You will only meet at the Chevanne lift on the first morning, but finish in the "Pic" and meet and finish there every day after that. If you park at the top of Chevanne you'll be stuffed, as the days end after the lifts close and you wont be able to get back up to your car.
All lectures take place in the "Pic" as well as morning briefings.
