First time skiing in France. Going to crest voland. Any advice

Hi I am a new member to here so please be kind. We are due to ski in crest voland next week has anybody any advice adout this area. Many thanks

It's a nice village. We went there on the ski bus when we stayed at Notre Dame de Bellecombe. Some great runs and fantastic scenery. :mrgreen:

Many thanks looking forward to our trip

You don't mention what level skiers you are but if you can, and the conditions allow, it's possible to do a full circuit of the Espace Diamant. We did it with a guide but it's well worth researching the route and tackling it as you'll find more challenging terrain than at Crest Voland. CV is charming, quiet but blessed with easy access to the slopes and some amazing views. Hope you like drag-lifts - this was the place that forced me to overcome a phobia!!
To eat at lunchtime seek out the Montagnette at Flumet. The Vent-Volet just above CV on the lower slopes is great with a nice terrace and the Arche de Zoe was nice for an evening meal. We loved CV and would go back just for the laid back and friendly vibe in the village.Plus of course, all that mileage you can do on relatively quiet slopes.

Many thanks Julia starting to get excited now. Sounds like a very nice place. Is there a language barrier there as I only speak very little French.

Don't worry about being fluent. If you get a french phrase book and do a short online course (like the BBC one) you should have enough to get by.
