 Poster: A snowHead
|
This is an annual company holiday - perk of the job type thing, we call it "wipeout" which gives you an idea what its like however I have been lumbered with these dates 1st to 4th Dec 05 -I would love to make this a skiiing trip but is there anywhere worth going to this early that is reasonably fast to travel too...
I have been told Val d Isere or Zermatt are snow sure but is any of the lift infrastructure running at this time and more importantly are the bars open ??
Any advice would be greatfully received.

ScottDougall, welcome to snowheads, you're likely to find that Tgnes will be open usually opens by about the 2nd -3rd week of Nov. How much of the Espace Killy is open is anybody's guess.

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

ScottDougall, Welcome to snowheads. Don't know about Val d'Isere In Zermatt the main winter season starts in November. Over the weekend all the lifts will be running, during the week some may be closed.
Checking the timetable:
All Rothorn lifts are open (http://bergbahnen.zermatt.ch/e/fahrplan/winter/rothorn.html)
With Gornegrat area, everything but the Stockhorn lifts will be open
http://bergbahnen.zermatt.ch/e/fahrplan/winter/gornergrat.html
And on the Matterhorn area, everything will be open at the weekensd, although Schwarzee will only be accessible over the weeknds.

ScottDougall,
Welcome
I would be looking at Tignes or somewhere with a glacier open. LDA possibly. Try to limit the damage of poor/no snow at that time of the season.
Tignes travel would be Geneva, Lyon or Chambery and coach transfer, or TGV probably via Paris on one of the legsto BSM and coach the Tignes. BSM to Tignes that way would be the shortest transfer
