 Poster: A snowHead
|
Friends want to go skiing for a day or so in late October as part of a week in Nice. They only started this year but have got a couple of weeks under their belts and are confident on blues and moving onto reds.
The Tignes glacier seem the obvious choice - it opens in early October and I would have thought it would be within their capability. But can Snowheads suggest anywhere else? I know Isola 2000 is near to Nice but don't think it will be open that early (unless anyone knows different).
Ideas welcome please.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

October is properly early - kudos for being keen (and especially to your intermediate friends!)
Someone who knows for sure will be along shortly, but like you I doubt Isola will be open. Les Deux Alpes might be worth a look too - I think it's nearer Nice and has a glacier that probably opens up early. You might also want to look at Zermatt...I have a feeling that opens pretty early and probably isn't all that far away...might not be as big an area as L2A or Tignes, but some spectacular scenary (and prices).

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

Les Deux Alps is my suggestion, way nearer than any other options.
