Buying powder Samoens

Welcome to my blog. I document my adventures and travel with a focus on getting into the mountains. If there is snow I am going to go. The old village sits at the base of the Grand Massif Express, a gondola that rises m to the ski area. From the gondola top station, a quick run takes you to the Chariande Express where you can access the rest of the extended ski area. There is a magic carpet, some surface lifts, and a friendly chairlift, after graduating from this area you should be able to handle everything the mountain has to offer. Some great skiing can also be found near the Coulouvrier chair with some interesting blue and red-grade slopes. After fresh snow, most will head to the Tete de Saix and the links over to Flaine, where you will find some awesome powder lines and tree skiing. Sadly snow to Verclands base area can be unreliable. If you still plan to ski another Grand Massif resort on a bad weather day this is possible via the local free bus service. Beginners can start worry-free on the Magic Carpets before moving onto a slow drag lift and then the two slow beginners chairlifts which all access green runs. With its wide array of groomed blue and red runs, this picturesque ski area caters well for intermediates. Intermediate skiers and snowboarders will also benefit from the links to nearby resorts like Morillon and Les Carroz which have beautiful blue cruisers. Yes Aigle Noir can claim to be amongst the most challenging black pistes in the Grand Massif but there is little else on the piste map. Luckily nearby Morillon and Les Carroz ski resorts have some fantastic terrain which is lined by trees which gives good context in bad weather. For Flaine, head to Verdant chair, alternatively you can ski directly into Morillon and Les Carroz from this point. In terms of freestyle, you have a couple of options in the Grand Massif. Flaine has a terrain park and border cross tracks that wind down skiers left of the bowl as you head towards the village. Sadly the Chariande 2 lift that used to run from the main bowl alongside the Chariande Express is no longer in service. I made the video below to discuss the reasons for this. The resort has invested heavily in snow making to ensure they are able to maintain great conditions in both the early and late season. To see the interactive piste map click here. Although driving is possible I have always favoured transfer to these resorts. Go Massif have been fantastic for shared transfers between Geneva and the Grand Massif and having used their service multiple times I would recommend them. The communication throughout has been fantastic and service came in cheaper than Go Massif for the private option. If you would prefer to self-drive there are numerous counters available at Geneva Airport where car-rental is possible. From Geneva, you can expect to drive for Driving to Flaine from Geneva represents one of the shortest ski resort transfers in the Alps. The Grand Massif is a large area but luckily access between the resorts is fairly simple. Here you can either drop off into the off-piste near the Corbalanche Chair then head towards Vernant's chair. If you would prefer to stick to the pistes then Silice blue will take you to Dolomie blue which will lead you to Vernant. From the top of Vernant take Tourmaline blue all the way into Flaine. This run gets fairly flat around the end of Dolomie so you can often see some people pushing or walking this route. If you can maintain your speed you should be fine. The more advanced can take the Chamois red piste from the Tete de Saix which runs towards Marmotte and Les Molliets chair. It is worth noting that the village is a short walk or shuttle bus ride from the Grand Massif Express Gondola so you will need to factor this into your morning routine. This would make a good base for families heading to the Grand Massif. You can even add summer access so you have access to all the summer hiking and mountain biking. If you are only visiting for one week then you can see all the options for lift passes here. I would always recommend getting the Grand Massif pass rather than the local area pass as it represents better value. Aigle Noir black run is genuinely intense and for able skiers and snowboarders can represent a fantastic challenge. If you are staying in the village you will need to take a shuttle bus to the Grand Massif Express. Because of the bus timetable, it is hard to get to the GME before there is a queue during peak weeks. During peak periods, you may suffer from morning queues at the Grand Massif Express and Chariande Express chairlifts. Resort Guides. Snowboard Equipment. Gear Guides. Snowboard Buying Guide.
