les deux alpes

:D just got flights for next year into chambery for the end of jan thinking about les deux alpes whats it like ,any help please

well charlie your in luck, as i went this year and happened to write a nice report here... http://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/list/5657.page

:lol: :wink:

Did a season there 2007 so here goes...
Great resort when it snows. Lots of off-piste. The front face is wide and steep so you can ride/ski it all day long with freshies and it's right on the doorstep of the village.
If it dosen't snow it has a bit of a motorway feel about it.
It's high with a glacier so good snow record. Excellent snowpark.
Town is a bit in-yer-face with Brits abroad but some gems amongst it all (Tribeca pizza as good as anywhere in the world), Crepes-a-go-go (ignore the naff name and get it in there). Had a comedy night in The Secret once a week which was a hit.
Pricey, but where in the Alps isn't...

Hi Charlie,

I went to LDA this year (27 march) We are going back there in December '09 for the new year. We've got a nice chalet and this time there will be 12 of us together. I loved the place BTW even though my son broke his wrist on day 1. It had everything we needed for the week - lots of challenging blues - which were steeper in lots of places than the reds I did in Austria, and a hairy red that pushed me quite a lot :)

Where did you get the flights to chambery? I'm struggling to get cheap flights to Grenoble on the 26th (I know it's Boxing day and all but > £200 each is the cheapest so far) Do you have some tricks that you'd be willing to share?

Thanks
John.

Huuum !

Why chambery ? ? Grenoble is really closer !
