Hi all
Going out to Brides in February, is it possible to ski back from Meribel or does it have to be the Bus / Gondola?
thanks
Paul

Nopey, can't ski back, depending on the snow levels you can get back to Les Allues, but otherwise its a 25 minute gondola ride, from Meribel

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

anarchicsaltire, you can ski back to Brides offpiste when the snow is good enough but it would be wise to go with a guide and it would depend on your level of skiing, there are, I believe, tricky sections to the descent. Never skiied it myself but I'm sure there are  that have. Otherwise you can pick up the gondola in Les Allues as mrBishi, mentioned or at Le Raffort.

But don't bank on being able to get down to Les Allues by snow. I'd just stick to getting the last lift down from Meribel. But don't miss it! There ain't no bus.

I second what altis says, when we were there in the middle of February there wasn't enough snow to make it down to Les Allues, just use the bubble as an excuse to rest those weary limbs from a day of hard skiing!

I think you may wish you had booked further up the hill. All that time in the morning going up the hill when you could have been skiing.
I have skied right down to Brides one holiday when there was so much snow that everything else was closed due to avalanche danger. Nothing tricky about it but it would have to be very unusual conditions.

From what I recall it's a looongggg walk from the Brides-les-baines bubble to the main lifts.
If you've got a car you may want to drive up from Brides and park in Meribel - what we did when staying in BLB

There is an off piste route, I think it goes down from the Altiport. Dunno where it ends up though.

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