Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Best blues and reds for Espace Killy newbies tmrw

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Off for a day trip to Espace Killy tmrw. Never been before so would appreciate tips for an itinerary that would take in some entertaining blues and reds. Also would it be easiest to park in Tignes or Val D'Isere, priorities being maximising skiing time and least risk of getting lost?

Free parking at Tignes les Brevieres or at Val Claret if you show your one-day lift pass.

Easy (but not free) parking at La Daille for Val d'Isere.

You have to drive through Tignes to get to Val d'Isere, so it would be quickest to park in Tignes. You can park for free in Tignes les Brevieres, the first Tignes village you come to (signposted off to the right). If you would prefer to be based more centrally then you can continue along the road a bit further (10-15 mins) to Tignes le Lac. In Le Lac there are several big multistory car parks. I don't recall the cost but don't recall it seeming extortionate either. If you park in T3 you come out in Maison de Tignes, right next to the main lifts.

The route is well signposted and fairly straightforward.

Park at Le Breviere, bubble to the Marais, take the Aiguille Rouge Chair, ski down Bluets into Le Lac, go up Palafour Chair, and ski back down to it, go up the Palafour again and the ski to the Merles chair, you can then ski Grattalu and Carline repeating if necessary via Tichot and Grattalu chair. Check time - coffee or lunch at the Aspen (30 metres from the wooden arch thingy in Val Claret. The go up Lanches and Vanoise to the Glacier (go up cable car if open) ski to your hearts content. To return home from Val Claret take Tichot + Grattalu ski the red merles run to the Grand Huit - turn left at the fork and ski to Aiguille Rouge Chair and then ski down Corniche (don't be tempted by Sache if you don't want a gnarly black - its a lot worse than it looks from the top!) at the top of the Aiguille Rouge chair turn left and work your way down to Breviere via Boisse if you wish.

Have a great day - looks like the best day this week Cool

Chocksaway, many thanks. Today has turned into a look out at the snow while playing monopoly day on account of youngest being slightly unwell. However this gives me more time to study your itinerary in preparation for going tomorrow!
