Champagny en Vanoise

Hi all,

I am booked for a skiing trip to Champagny en Vanoise for the first week in April (3rd-10th). Based on previous experience does anyone know if there will be full cover (snow cannon - if necessary) all the way down from the bubble lift to village level at this time of year? (I realise it is mainly south facing and will be the first to loose its snow).

Or will we have to stay at the top of the bubble and go over to La Plagne itself?
Different websites say differing things and there isnt very much information about Chamagny and that side of the mountain. Any further info would be gratefully digested.

Thanks

Hi,

Here is the link to the WTSS (Where To Ski & Snowboard) website's Champagny en Vanoise resort information guide, apart from what you will find on J2SKI it's about as good a guide as you will find anywhere...

I spend the majority of my time skiing in the Les Arcs/La Plagne area but have never actually go over to the Champagny side to ski i am afraid, but the conditions around the last week of March to first week of April are generally excellent in Les Arcs, but in saying that Arc 1600 is higher and also on the other side of the mountian range so experiences a totallt different weather pattern....

.....but again the Villaroger/Le Pre side of Les Arcs goes down to around 1200metres and if the conditions have been good and cold all season it is still possible to ski down into Le Pre at that time (even if it does become a little patchy in places down at the bottom.

Just a case of keeping an eye on the snow reports and then decide.


All the best
