Chamrousse buying blow

Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. 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 Username:- Password:. Or: Register to be a proper snow-head, all official-like! Prev topic :: Next topic. Poster: A snowHead. Just come across chamrousse in brochure. Looks nice blues and reds within trees. The appartment looks good and as no lift pass cost, hol comes all in at each self catering. Is there a reason free lift pass. Any1 skiid resort. If so, would u go back. Not bothered about black runs but want nice wide cruising. Is it expensive in resort and is there anything there. Restaurants, mountain restaurants, shops, bars, etc. Thanks 4 any advice. Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person. Hi There The ski area has aroound 90km of pistes, so depending on what type of skier you are you could cover this in a couple of days. You will find that you are a paying for the ski pass in some sort of way, through the purchase of accommodation and the fact that thomsons will not pay full price for a ski pass as they are very large tour operator. If you are happy with 90km of piste and think this will be enough for your holiday, sounds like you have a good deal, I presume it includes flights? Regards The snow traveller. Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see? Jon Ford , Any of the interesting skiing is above the treeline by miles I skied there a few years ago but I don't see even with global warming that the treeline has risen that much. Otherwise it was an interesting jumping off place for adventures off-piste with a local guide. You need to Login to know who's really who. Jon Ford , I think Chamrousse as a resort offers inclusive accommodation and lift pass packages. I assume the TOs are just using this same deal rather than a 'free' lift pass. Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do. If you search, you'll find Chamrousse has been discussed before. We went there a couple of years ago, and may well go again next Winter. You don't say who you'll be skiing with. I had skied there previously because I have family in Grenoble. The ski area is Ok. If you don't want to repeat a run ever, then it's not for you. There are some nice blues amd reds; there is a reasonable park, with two snow cross runs. In pretty hot weather Feb they managed to keep most of the resort open. When we went last year, I was able to put together our holiday for about the same as the TUI offer, but for that got a Sunday flight home stayed the night with my brother , and a two bedroom duplex apartment at the opposite end of the resort - the older bit where the 68 Olympic downhill races happened - rather than a studio. This included flights, apartment, passes, car hire, and ski lessons for my son. You'll need to Register first of course. Didnt pick up on the 92km runs. Need something with a little more even just km total. When did Passo Tonale, they had km and was bored on last day as did everything a few times. Thanks advice. Just came across Risoul too. That looks quite intersting. Lots of blues and a nice run called La Forest presuming because its in the forest. Anyone been. Anyone know of any in Italy or Austria that are still cheap. Then you can post your own questions or snow reports Jon Ford , both apartments and ski passes will be pretty cheap in Chamrousse. If you buy in July you can get a pass for the entire season for only euros! Remind us what week you are going, though - that makes a big difference to price. Any tree lined runs will be less reliable for snow than higher areas, but of course they can provide a very welcome bolt hole in poor weather, when it's foggy or blowing a blizzard up top. You should ask Thomson how big the apartment is ie how many sq metres then you can use the internet to compare the price of renting direct - and as queen bodecia , says, there are probably inclusive packages. You can use google images to get loads of pictures of any ski resort - to give you a feel for the place. After all it is free. You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net. Quote: accomodation isnt anything 'special' but you were contemplating a camper van? If you look at those budget apartments in France like those ones in Chamrousse they're certainly not going to be 'anything special'! You probably need to do some hard thinking about priorities, get a clear list of priorities in order and decide on a budget. Of course the basic holiday cost will be much more in a hotel - self-catering holidays are only cheap if you self cater! Ski the Net with snowHeads. Quote: was bored on last day as did everything a few times. The skiing can be very good with the right snow conditions, and I believe the lifts have vastly improved since I waws last there. And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports. I realise I need to get priorities right. If I can find a nice hotel in Skiwelt, Im there! Just seen Hotel Schermer in Westendorf Soll. Lessons is a good idea, but again, its further costs. Im at happy intermediate as is wife , but we just love going around the big cruisy blues and easier reds. For us, the skiing is more about chilling out around the runs, taking in the sights and doing a bit of filming along the way. So if you're just off somewhere snowy come back and post a snow report of your own and we'll all love you very much. I realise I may be peeing some SH's off with constant questions about resorts, transfers etc, If I have, then I do apologise. Only reason I ask all these is to help find the perfect resort for our budget, to get a better idea than the basic info found in brochures, so hear it from the horses mouth as supposed to internet write ups that conflict each other, and mainly just to talk about skiing! I;m sure you are loving the questions too! No doubt I will be changing my mind once again, and asking more review questions. Thanks in advance to all replies! You know it makes sense. Jon Ford , you sound fairly similar to me in your list of requirements. I look for a hotel although not bothered about a pool, prefer a friendly welcome and nice food , large intermediate ski area and lots of lovely scenery. I tend to avoid France because it's hard to find single hotel rooms in my budget and the purpose-built villages tend to be a bit drab. Pick somewhere, try it, then try somewhere different the next season. One life, so many ski destinations to sample Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:. Quote: I realise I may be peeing some SH's off with constant questions about resorts, transfers etc I wouldn't worry about that - nobody has to answer if they don't want to! You do need to decide about your accommodation, though - if you want self-catering, then there is plenty of self-catering available, at all standards, though places with a pool etc will be more expensive you would only want an outdoor pool in winter if it was spa-heated. We went to a lovely place in Austria with self-catering apartments and an outdoor pool - which was very warm, magic in the snow, but it's not in any of the brochures any more. Most self-catering in Austria is probably best accessed on a DIY basis, the big tour operators don't seem to do it much but there are plenty of apartments available. If you really want self-catering, and really want a TO holiday, then your choices will keep tending to come back to France, because there's so much self-catering accommodation available. But the brochures are a pain, with constantly having to work out their wretched 'under-occupancy' charges. You could look at Peak Retreats - a good company, that does self-drive holidays, so it's part-packaged. As an example, this is an 'authentic village', small apartment in complex with a pool, spa, etc. But it's quite low m and in a poor snow year you might wish you'd chosen one of the higher, and less authentic, parts of the domain. Though if you had a car it wouldn't take long to drive up. And a much bigger pisted ski area. Peak retreats have plenty of other good resorts on their books, too. I'm sure the people who know Austrian resorts well could point you to similar packages there. The choice is vast; that's the problem, really. Will speak to wife and decide what she wants to do. Will read the reiews again while she is watching Corrie! Let me know when you book yours and will look into it! Will keep you all posted Jon Ford , sorry, but the skiing at Notre Dame de Bellecombe is best left to the pensioners that inhabit the area! Boring is not a word I use often in connection with skiing but I had 2 of the most boring weeks of my life there when I was lent out to teach beginner groups there. I can only hope that they have at least installed a chair lift by now looking at the piste map they have! Still a huge number of very long and slow drag lifts as well. For beginners, the runs were long enough but for anyone looking to get confidence building rhythmic runs through the trees, then you need another resort, they are very short. Even the SCGB site admits that. The area itself is pretty but to get from one area to the next often involves lots of long poling, driving from one to another is the best way to get around. There are buses, but then waiting and keeping to timetable puts a damper on things as well. The buses do run regularly though during the day. Very nice skiing at Praz zur Arly even back in the dark ages when I went there! If you turn up and are dispappointed because things do not match up to the descriptions not only are the chances that you will definitely not return, you will also spend years slagging the place off based on your one bad experience! Jon Ford , I don't think French resorts look any better in brochures. Often the resorts are above the tree line and some of the architecture would be better suited to Coventry! The size of some of the linked ski areas is a big draw for some, but even in a whole season I didn't manage to ski every run in 3 Valleys, so is it necessary to have all that piste-age for a week's holiday? You have to decide on your list of priorities and draw up a short list or a long list! You have had loads of great suggestions already. You might get it wrong. I've been to a couple of ski resorts that I basically didn't much like Pas De La Casa, La Plagne but I still had good skiing holidays, I just know that they are not the resorts I would consider in future. I think things have probably changed rather a lot since you were there, Samerberg Sue! Or you can drop over into the Douce Bowl, an entirely new area since you were there. Even in the comparatively short time I've been skiing there there have been about half a dozen new chairlifts in the area though the long Mont Rond chairlift is still very slow. There's a faster drag. Some of the drags in the Arly Valley are a bit fierce - the remaining ones aren't too long, but one has an intimidating section with what is reputed to be the steepest gradient in France! It's easily avoided, though the black and red runs leading down to it are enjoyable. The skiing along the Arly Valley - the bottom part of NDdB, Flumet and Praz sur Arly which has a new detachable six man lift right to the top, serving the best and longest descent in the area is similar, and mostly wooded. In good snow weather you could have a very pleasant week, if what you like is cruising blues and reds, without bothering with Mont Rond. That's only been possible in the last two years. You can then avoid the slow Mont Rond chair altogether, though there remains one slow chair with no drag alternative to get back to the bottom of NDdB. In poor snow weather, as I indicated, it would be easiest to drive up to Les Saisies. Buses are infrequent, and a drag, and it's an area where a car is a big help. I am meeting more and more Brits who have come to the area for the first time and without exception they have been impressed. And they weren't all pensioners though what that's got to do with it I don't know - don't tell me you have become ageist too! There some other nice places to visit within very easy reach too car, not lift-linked , including La Giettaz and Megeve. Thanks for updates. Not had chance to look at websites yet but will. It's true, u don't need 1k of runs. I wreckon km should do the trick. Just after a combination of tree lined and above tree for nice views and relatively cheap. Still think Skiwelt is. Found some nice small hotels wiith pool, Jacuzzi yesterday with good god reviews and within budget but want to look over other resorts and ways of booking to get the best holiday poss. If we ate going to have kids this could be the last ski holiday for a while. Don't know how ibwill cope without the slopes, and of course all the banter on here! Not been to the resort, or to the hotel but it's one that stood out to me when I was looking to go away at Easter. Reasonably priced, looks nice and has a spa as part of the hotel. I think it's catered though. Jon Ford , Check out this place, stayed there 3 years ago and loved it, keep thinking of going back but the Arlberg keeps getting my attention first! TBPH apres was limited, and evening food not to my liking I prefer a wider variety of drop-in's to eat and have a couple of beers , but if you are looking for a good deal and access to main resorts on a budget it may work for you. You'll need a car, book direct and fly into Geneva 3 hour-ish transfer. Thanks hammerite , sill check out later. Sounds like what I am after. Thanks Markymark29 , looks nice, but after hotel in resort. Don't want to drive in European snow so won't b booking car dont know why I suggested a motorhome holiday in previous post! Thanks anyway-appreciate the link. OK, now we're making progress. Pool if possible. Preferably Austria. Self-catering or catered acceptable. Need transfer to resort. Could you give an idea of your budget? Very civilised! Thanks Markymark29 , had a quick look on phone internet but will check out tonight. Noticed that its Switzerland though and although would love to ski it, heard its expensive eating etc. Our budget is approx 1k each for accom, flights, pass and equipment hire. Just been reading Skiwelt again and sure that's the place for us. Lots if coasting blues and reds. Terrain park Couple of nice hotels with pool, balcony etc. Hotel tirolean I think, and a couple others all come in within budget. Only problem is most accom is about m from lifts. Do they have lockers at foot if mountains or do u have to carry equipment from hotel. How connected is withendorf?? To the doll runs. Jon Ford , No problem, the restaurant there at the hotel is one of the best in Haute Nendaz and super chilled, very young vibe They doi a HB option and its well in line with your budget I'd say. Yes CH can be expensive so can everywhere else BTW , but its where you go for lunch that either makes it or breaks it IMO, we normally just picnic if weather good, if not big spag-boll, carbfest which is usually OK. You may not even need to get over there but if you do theres endless amounts to go at, and the Park stuff over there is major. Hope this helps Cheers again. Will give it proper look up tonight. Quite happy with a panini etc. Had a sit down meal in la plagne chicken and chips, lasagne and 2 soft drinkseuros! Well pee'd off. But other days, 2 panini and chipsfor 15 did the job. Swings and roundabouts. It's more the. We ate I'm a lot last yr but ibknow my wife wanted to eat out a few nights so the costs at restaurants are a. Jon Ford , Nearly all the lift stations and shops close to the lifts will have lockers where you can leave your stuff overnight. If you hire from a shop close to the lifts they often have lockers you can use as well. This hotel in a village in Salzburgerland would suit and offers everything you are looking for as well. Thanks Samerberg Sue , looks lovely hotel. Will look at fully tonight. If we book ski hire through them, I take it we get eqipment from local shop who also provide the lockers. If we have to pay for lockers, are these expensive. We've always had lockers in hotel before but would prefer at foot of mountains if we have to walk a km. Quote: walk a km No way Jose For this you get lockable boot heaters so your boots are toasty warm and dry in the morning, plus lockers for your skis and poles. Some of them operate on your lift pass, some need a key. Well worth the cost as some hotel equipment storage is not quite up to this standard. If you hire your equipment from the shops at the lift base station the locker cost is often included or offered at a small upgrade cost. If you hire your equipment through the TO check to see which shops they use often there is a choice and steer clear of their 'basic' packages if you're not absolute beginners. Found hotel in Soll 'Postwist' with very good write ups 4. There are other hotels that are possibilities, but these 3 stand out in each area. We would also like choice of restaturants in case wife cant eat the HB option in hotel. Selection of ski shops etc would be nice we always like looking at equipment even though we will never buy it I like the location od Westendorf, but seems quiet-are there bars, shops, restaurants there. Which town is the most picturesque?. Also, just to double check, can you ski from Westendorf straight into the runs at Soll or do you have to get a bus from the town into Soll and join the runs that way. Think thats all the questions. Should I book soon or leave it till Nov? I know we cant predict, but worse case scenario and worst snow records happen, what would skiing be like? Also, just come across this ski hire in another Soll link, This relates to the 'garage' where you can store your skis. For all TO boot bookings, they only have option for standard boots, which we hate. For this price, would it include the use of lockers? Jon Ford wrote: Also, just come across this ski hire in another Soll link, This relates to the 'garage' where you can store your skis. Hi Jon Ford Have just had a first look at this forum and noticed your query re Chamrousse. For what its worth I think Chamrousse is a really pretty little resort which is really pleasant to ski in. Yeah the nightlife is not banging but personally I am knackered after a decent day of slopes anyway and not planning to do much more than a couple of beers before crashing. Its easy to get around with a free bus between areas and there are some decent blues and reds to keep you occupied. RE TUI prices - you can actually book your own trip for cheaper than them and Snowtrex do apartment deals for same apartments inc lift pass. New Topic Post Reply. Snow Snow Snow!
