 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
Just found out that the work has dumped me out in the Alpes next week in the above town. I have no idea if there is skiing near by so I'm looking for some info from you learned folk. Is there anything within 30 min drive and if so whats it like (altitude, km's of piste etc) ?

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

The nearest is about half an hour, 30 km or so.... Les 7 Laux (Prapoutel). Not exactly high though, it'll be sticky at resort level. From what I remember of the place it's about as ugly as Flaine! 100km of pistes. If I were you I would drive at hour or so to the resorts around Chambéry instead....

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

Actually you'd be better off heading for Alpe d'Huez, not that much more than an hour away....
Edited.... hmm.. nearer two hours perhaps, thinking about it. So back to Les 7 Laux Prapoutel and Le Collet, both 30 mins or so away.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

You're right Pete, an hour if you go via Uriage and then park at Oz. I agree, nothing to see at les Sept Laux, best going elsewhere. ;-)

Thanks for the help guys.
I've got 2 days in/near Cham and then drive down to Allevard-L-B on Monday for a conference and customer entertainment bollox. Monday& Tuesday is work, Wednesday is a free day and so is 1/2 Friday, Sat and Sun. Our accommodation is a hotel at 500m near Allevard les bain so Wednesday & Friday we'll probably ski in around Allevard and go further afield on Sat and Sun.
Following some links from the info you guys supplied I managed to find http://www.ski-ride-france.com/map/map.htm It has the best layout of French ski resorts I've seen.
Thanks again guys.

Maybe it's too early in morning, but ok, the map's quite good.... but the resort guide seems to be missing most places!
