 Poster: A snowHead
|
We are thinking about going 3rd April, but worried about lack of snow. Where should we go?
We have seen some deals to
La Tania- Nice chalet, good price, but know it is lower
La Plagne - good chalet, good price
St Anton?
Any other suggestions, or advice as to where will be crap.
Thanks

Hi,
La Plagne still has great snow high up on the Glacier, Roche de Mio and higher slopes around Champagny, Bellecote, Plagne Centre and Aime 2000 areas. The lower areas are getting a little slushy in the afternoon, but still easily skiiable with more snow due at the weekend.
Hope that helps . . .
Heather

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

k1orange, Any resort below 2000m in the French alps will have warm temps the next week. Very warm temps forecast for 1350m in La Tania towards the end of next week (+14 degC) and rain forecast for Sunday.
Hey, the forecast may be wrong but I'd go as high as you can. Ideally a resort base of 2000m + with higher sking and a lift system that can return you to resort. Can I suggest VT or Tignes if it's only the French alps you are considering.

Am not there at the moment, but La Tania should be fine - if you can live with (potentially) getting a lift to and from resort every morning and evening. There is some snow forecast in the Three Valleys next week above about 1850, which will fall as rain in La Tania as BMF Skier has said. The lift from La Tania is a bubble that I am pretty sure you can take down as well as up and I'd be very surprised indeed if they closed the pistes that run to the top of that lift. In fact, I'd be very surprised if they didn't find some way of keeping at least one run into La Tania open, whatever the weather. From the top of the lift out of La Tania, it's just one further lift to find yourself well over 2000 m.
But if I were you, I'd look at the areas suggested by BMF Skier and Snow and Sunshine. Am skiing myself in La Plagne that week, so bear in mind there may be an element of wishful thinking about snow conditions in my endoresment of La Plagne as a good place to go at the moment...

The ski back to La Tania was good yesterday, it was good the week before and I assume it will be similar a week from now.

Don't suppose you can go earlier on Wed 30th March. If you can Inghams have Banff Canada flying from Gatwick for £265 - yes that's the price for flight transfer and a week room only in hotel. I'm going the next week so keep checking prices. The snow looks much better than in Europe

Some great value holidays to Andorra are available throughout April with excellent snow at the moment - new snow yesterday plus more forecast for tomorrow.
