 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
I'm playing with the idea of heading there, probably Aurun, at half term next February. Whilst our holiday only co-incides with 1 region of France it includes most of the southern cities, Nice, Marselle, etc. which worries me a little. Any experience of how busy it get down there at peak times?

Colin B,
None whatsoever so my post may not be very helpful but as noo one else has replied.
I have been to Serre Che once at Southern city feb holiday break and it does get very busy but not completely unbearable in good snow, personally I now go elsewhere though. Friends who live close to the pyrenees and enjoy skiing there do not in the local holiday breaks as they do find it pretty unbearable.

Colin B, if you can't get other info you could try a private message to agenterre, who lives down there and knows those resorts.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Colin B, I would guess that the Marseille crowd would go further west than Auron as there is an autoroute nearly all the way to Gap.

The resort is small and from my 3 times skiing in Isola but with side trips over it is much quieter than Isola, but much nicer in atmosphere and scenery. People in Nice and the area consider Auron much nicer than Isola, but mainly go for a day trip, for a week they're going to go up to Courchevel or somewhere like it. Hope this helps.
