 Poster: A snowHead
|
I am thinking of booking UCPA Les Deux Alpes for the w/c 6 April. It is said to be 100m from the ski area but I am just wondering how feasible it is to ski back to the UCPA for lunch every day (as is possible in UCPA Flaine) - I am trying to save money and their lunches are great!
Thanks

You can't ski back to UCPA in LDA, stayed near here a couple of years ago - it's a couple of minutes walk round the corner from the Diable chairlift that you can download on.

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

If the black and the new red are still open then you'll be able to ski down to the bottom of the diable lift instead. Or if you're at the other end you can ski down the Valentin black (which will almost certainly be open) and across.

Thanks for letting me know. Did you like the UCPA in LDA? Is the crowd the usual mix of people mostly in their thirties? I am leaning towards it purely for the shorter transfer time from the airport and if I did the Grand Ski course I can do a day in Alpe d'Huez which would be interesting.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Itrav, I've not been, I just know the resort well. I'll be there just before you, leaving on 6th.

There are two UCPAs in 2Alpes, one behind the Place de Venosc and the other near the Point I at the other end of town. Neither is ski in/ski out.
What do you want lunch for anyway? Eat a load of breakfast and ski all day.

Sn00boarder, I will no doubt see you there. I won't be arriving until the evening of the 7th as can't get out before Sunday. By the way, I will need a transfer back to Grenoble airport on Sat 13th. There is the Bens Bus option but it would mean leaving LDA at 7am which is too early for a 14:40 flight. Don't suppose you have an alternative later transfer arranged?

Not massively helpful!
If the L2A is like the other UCPA centres you will make a packed lunch at breakfast if your group is not planning on coming back to the centre for lunch. In ValT we went back every day, Serre Che we went back 3 days and took a picnic 3 days. Picnic fine although obvs not as much as the hot lunch! Bread, ham, cheese, salad, rice type thing, crisps, fruit, chocolate , sweets were all on offer to take with you.
The instructors are not usually keen to skip lunch

Itrav,
My transfer were bought direct from action-outdoors (was only £45), My flight back to London is at 17:00, so i would assume that I'd leave around 1:30-2'ish.
