 Poster: A snowHead
|
Thinking of planning a short break to Tignes at the end of November and was wondering if there was anything I should be aware of like will the glacier be crammed with racers?- I seem to remember that it was invaded by hoards of spanish about then?
Thanks for your help.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

A lot of the available terrain will be taken up by training lanes for slalom and GS training, with consequent queues on the T-bars that serve those pistes. The main piste down the centre of the glacier will be open for free skiing, and around the margins of the training lanes.
There is a bank holiday earlier in November (around the 11th?) when it is extra busy. If you can wait until the end of November I think Espace Killy is due to open on the 24th, snow conditions dependent, when there will be no issues with queues or crowds.

rob@rar, The Espace Killy isn't due to open until 1st Dec.
I think the Spanish week is after the full area has opened.

rjs, ah, I did wonder. It's normally been the last Saturday in November in recent years, but that means a full week of November so I guess they've not gone for that day this year.
