 Poster: A snowHead

Is the vamos one any good? Or would i be better off trying to get my hands on a copy of Les cles des 3 Vallees? Or for that matter is anyone able to suggest an other good off piste guidebook for the 3 Valleys?

frank4short, don't know about the 3 vallees one but if the Oisans one is anything to go by it's pretty good for an overview but probably won't have much of the more gnarly stuff in it e.g. stuff needing a rope for access (this is also true of the Cham one). Also in general it overstates the steepness of most (but not all) things by 5-10 degrees!

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

That's kind of what i figured having seen a couple of their other guidebooks. Was looking for a third part opinion to confirm this though.

I have Les cles and think it is pretty good. Is more up to date in relation to lifts / pistes and has many more routes.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

frank4short, the Vamos book is good for a general overview and has some good stuff in; Les cles is most excellent and far more in depth but also not cheap. With the Vamos, an IGN map and a bit of imagination you can certainly keep yourself busy for a week...
