Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Motorhomes in Val D'isere. Has anyone spotted one?

Poster: A snowHead

Hi,
I'm going to the Alps next month in my motorhome and I was hoping to meet up with some friends in VDI. I heard you used to be able to stay in the car park in La Daille but I'm not sure if this is still the case.

Has anyone been in VDI recently and spotted any motorhomes that are staying overnight?

Thanks,
Robert

Normally the car park at la Daille is full of season worker's motorhomes (well vans with a bit of insulation).

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

Thanks for your reply davidof.

I'd planned on staying at the La Daille car park but I keep reading conflicting info. I'd heard recently that the police were not allowing parking. Was it this year that you spotted the vans there?

Cheers,
Robert

If you can't park up in the La Daille/Funival car park anymore, you could try the car park down in Tignes le Brevieres at the Ice Driving Circuit. Stayed in both locations a few years ago in a Campervan, no hassle from Police at either. Quite a few seasonaire's vans down in Le Brevieres too, and it's a bit more peaceful. If your meeting your friends to ski, get out for 1st lift, you could meet them at the top of Rocher de Bellevarde 30 minutes later.

May be worth contacting the Office du Tourisme to find out the situation regarding La Daille overnight parking, It's nice and quiet in Le Brevieres at night, so if you want a bit of nightlife, Val d'Isere would be the better option. If it's all about the Skiing/Boarding, stay down in Le Brevieres.

Thanks BCB,

Thats a good alternative if I can't stay in Val. I'll give the Tourist Office a call.

It's preferably a bit of both regarding the skiing /nightlife so fingers crossed re. Val.

Thanks.

Btw,

Does anyone know if there is a bus service from le Brevieres to Val d'Isere and, if so, does it run in the evening?

Cheers,

Robert

I met a couple the week before christmas who had a camper at the furnival at La Daille; it was -12 inside at night so they were moving down to Bourg for some warmth. That seemed to be their only problem.

Just to update the previous posts:

We went to Val and realised that the carpark at la Daille is now height restricted and therefore off limits for vans. There was an area for campervans on through the village but it was completely jammed with seasonaires vans, so no chance of parking there. On up at the end of the valley at le Fornet there are a couple of parking spots but they're pretty remote and uneven..ok for a night or two only.

We then decided to go on down to les Brevieres and found the carpark at the base of the gondola was fine and the village itself great. the only trouble is that there is nowhere to fill/ empty your fresh water and grey/ black waste. There is a toilet in the gondola building open during lift hours but I dont think emptying your toilet cassette there would be appreciated. We stayed in here for 3-4 day stints and went down the valley to the campsite in Bourg to fill up with fresh water/ groceries, empty the toilet and have long showers etc.

One other thing regarding staying in Brevieres. It's a nice village with a good selection of shops, bars and restaurants but there is no regular bus links with Tignes or Val at night and it's a 30-40 euro cab fare back from Val if you miss the last bus. Wasn't ideal for us as our friends were staying in Val.

Bottom line is... there's nowhere to park overnight in Val d'Isere but les Brevieres is fine for shortish stays.

Hope this info is helpful,

Robert
