 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hello all,
Apologies if this is answered elsewhere but the searches I`ve tried have not given me the answer.
I`m hoping someone can tell me weather I need to book covered parking for a week in Les Eucherts? We`ve not skied La Rosiere before so I don`t know what its like. We are perfectly used to digging cars out of snowy mounds and will need to use our car most evenings to transport an elderly relative to and fro restaurants. I can book a space in the covered parking for our chalet but I think it will be a little tight for the vehicle we will be bringing (a large 4x4)
If there is on street parking are there set times when the car would need to be moved for snow clearance?
Many thanks.

Hi, at the top of Eucherts opposite/outside Les Balcons there is a huge space where you can park. However this year ( Jan 2012 ) they had used it to dump all the snow on that they had cleared from the roads due to so much snow. So no spaces
There are a few spaces down near the bottom of the 6 man in Les Eucherts, 1st come and all that
If you are not going school holidat time you will get somewhere to park

CaravanSkier, the covered parking at Cimes Blanches (not sure where you are staying) is tight and slightly awkward I would say but perfectly ok. We have Passat estate and our friends who own an apartment there and they park a Nissan X-trail. When I say awkward, the bays are small. Just means pulling forward for loading etc

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Thank you marmotte16. I`m just thinking if we book it, will we use it if its a bit tight and fiddly, which I`m told it is at the one we are staying in.

lol, no caravan this time. I find I`m actually quite sad at that! 
You make a good point about the walking with elderly relative. Our chalet has a lift and I shall confirm it goes to the parking, if so I will book it!
I thought the chalets looked rather nice in the pictures and on the larosiere web site virtual tours but its good to hear thats the case in reality too
Do you know the resort well? I`d appreciate any tips about restaurants and shopping etc

CaravanSkier, Les Eucherts is good location, great to ski back to, quiet, with basics in terms of village 'things' restaurant, bowling alley, mini tourist office, ski shops and bakery. Most of the eateries and bigger shops are in La Ros but you can get basics in Les Eucherts. That's a very short drive or pleasant walk on path through woods, 20 mins IIRC? It's a few years since we were there, but someone here can recommend places to eat I'm sure. I often seem to require a pharmacy on trips  and that can be found along with a lot of other shops in the main village.
Skiing? We enjoyed the La Thuile side most days (opens can of worms...........) as it was more varied over there and snow held up a tad better (we were there in sunny April)
Lots of info on La Rosiere on here if you do a search.

I`ve read lots of the stuff on here about La Rosiere, mostly before I booked and I was very grateful for the information. I had to satisfy some exacting criteria, covering 3 generations of expectations. High enough to get the best chance of snow in the early season. Good chance of ski in ski out. Pretty with very comfortable accommodation, pool and sauna desirable.
It was a lot easier when we just hitched up the van and headed where the snow looked good!
And thank you for the location of the pharmacy, we too generally need one at some point whilst holidaying

Back from the holiday and I will do a review shortly. In terms of parking we used the Chalets underground parking but had to remove the ski box to get in. There was parking down by the Eucherts lifts and opposite Les Balcons as stated above. They seemed to be pushing the snow over the edge opposite our Chalet, Le Refuge, this year.
