 Poster: A snowHead
|
I am staying in Oz-en-Oisans in Feb 2010 and i am having to put my son in lessons in Alpe D'Huez.
I know they do lessons for children in Oz-en-Oisans but my son is only 3 1/2 and they only start lessons from 4 years old in Oz.
Can anyone give me advice on whether it is easy enough to get to the ESF children lessons in Aple D'huez and whether the gondala that goes in 2 stages to Alpe D'huez from Oz goes straight there?
I assume it does (or somewhere near) but i would like confirmation before i book the lessons.
Thanks for all your help!

Why not consider looking for a British Instructor? Check out masterclass skiing with Stuart Adamson - havent got his website to hand though. He is very experienced and may be able to help!

you would need to take the Poutran up to the top of the lift shown as 1ere Troncon on the map (everyone calls it the DMC though) then take that down to ADH. It's an easy green run down to the village for an adult but possibly not for a 3 yr old who is new to skis!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

It is not possible to travel to Alpe d'Huez by gondola

Yes it is. Up the two stages ot the Poutran gondola then down the DMC 1er troncon. Alternatively, once kiddy is capable you could ski with him down Les Jeux to the meeting point. Check lift opening times and lesson start before you book anything, though - I'd leave a good half an hour to get from Oz to the ski school meeting point with a titchy anklebiter.
Masterclass is based in Alpe d'Huez, meets at the Lac Blanc restaurant at the bottom of the DMC, so no more practical than the ESF really.

There is quite a good magic carpet in the nursery area in Oz - good for both sledding and pootling. I wonder if you are considering spending two hours riding the godolas to ADH (? I remember the poutran is quite long and fairly slow), you could spend your time pootling with your 3 year old there (worked for my 2 & 4 year old - hour and a 1/2 is plenty usually at that age?) before/after creche?

Wildsmith, two hours? What did you do, go via Vaujany?

You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.
