Hi, we've just taken our dog to Serre Chevalier (1500m) for Xmas and New Year. First you need to get your dog microchipped, then vaccinated against rabies, followed by a blood test to get their EU Pet passport (see www.defra.gov.uk). After a 6 month interval they can travel between Europe and UK, provided rabies vacc. is up to date. The dog thoroughly enjoyed the holidayCan't actually take them skiing of course. Only problem we noticed was snow freezing between her paws sometimes. She loved the cold more than we do.

Alvin, the conditions will be fine in LDA in March. You can't compare it to Sauze as it's much higher altitiude (glacier is 3600m). The conditions were particularly poor last season too. LDA already has had a good dump of snow. March will be much quieter. No school holidays this March.

Take half an hour up to the glacier. Not skied it in midwinter though. Lots of lifts so I think lots of alternatives to the ones with queues. If you can avoid the French holidays, esp February, you should be OK. My friend is a ski instructor out there,
