 Poster: A snowHead
|
Basically, my question is: is it possible to ski from Val Thorens to Tignes?
I'm looking to meet friends in Tignes, and I'm currently just south of the 3 Valleys, so I can get to Val Thorens easily, and ski passes aren't a worry. I simply wondered if it was possible, and if so, is it feasible to do in a day? If I do go I will be staying over, so a return leg needn't be factored into the length of time it takes.
Thanks in advance!

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

Dub10, If you were an experienced ski tourer and had a guide I think with a bit of trecking you could . . . but not on lift served piste. There are plenty of Summer walking routes (fond memory of youth) that will take you there.

Dub10, if you're south of 3V and can get to VT easily, I'd suggest you can probably also get to Tignes a hell of a lot easier than skiing there from VT. Even if you can just get to Moutiers (the town that serves as the access point to all of the three valleys resorts) there are buses from there to Tignes and back.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Thanks for all your replies, I think the bus seems like the most viable option, was considering a taxi but unfortunately my first name isn't "Sheikh". Thanks again.

It's possible to ski from Orelle/VT to the far end of the 3V area, off piste down to Bozel, where it's about 10-15mins in a cab to Champagny which is in the Paradiski system. That takes U to Villaroger which is just down the road from Tignes: perhaps about 20 mins in a cab up to Les Brevierres? Or there's likely to be a bus but I don't know how regularly.
It's a long way though - U wont want to hang about!

feef, It does sound like a lot of fun for a two day trip there and back. I'm thinking you could ski to Orelle then bus to Bonneval sur Arc and a hike to the top of the pass and slide the road down into Val Disease.

Well well, if I'd only thought of looking on snowHeads, it would have saved me (all the fun of) working it out.
Thank you altis.
