 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi guys am going away this saturday (have flights booked). Now i have a choice of 3 resorts an need help deciding which to go for. The choices are Les Menuires, Les Arcs or La plagne. The accomoation in all 3 resorts are as good as each other so it comes down more to where would be best for skiing. I am an inermediate (earlyish) with 4 weeks experience skiing mainly blues and my buddy is a complete beginner. We will be taking a couple of private lessons so a good instructor would be good and i guess somewhere with nice long wide blues. Can anyone reccomend which resort to go for?
Thanks

I have been to les arcs and would recommend it, probably 1800 as it has the best apres if that is what you are into as well as having easy access to nice easy blues in 1800, 1600 and vallandry.
Dont know about instructors but i have had good days out (dare i say it  ) with ski club of GB reps, mabye something to look into, especially if you dont know the area and want to meet some randomers
Really it dosent matter too much, you will have a good time in any of those places i imagine!
Also id recomend this website for last min deals fasttrackski.co.uk but as you say you already have flights so i dont know if they would have the best deals

I'd recommend La Plagne, mile upon mile of blue runs..
In fact I'm going there (again!) myself this Sunday. Yay!

I have been to 3 valleys, la plagne and les arcs and enjoyed les arcs a lot more. There are some lovely tree lined runs near vallandry and in les arcs 1800. You could then progress up to Arc 2000 by the end of the week. La plagne ok but preferred les arcs. Les menuires is very ugly and to make the most of the 3 valleys you need to both be good intermediate skiiers.

mmdpkaaa, if you edit the title of your thread to include 'Paradiski' you might attract more comments, there are a few Snowheads experts on La Plagne and Les Arcs and they will be able to provide you much more detailed info on the runs in relation to the location of the accomm you have found. HTH a bit.

Les Arcs sounds good. The chalet is a two minute walk from the Vanoise Express and overlooks it from its balcony and is also very close to the Le Peisey chairlift. Are there some nice easy blues in this area? Would i need the pass for the whole paradiski or will les arcs be sufficient?
