Hi All

Does anyone know how much of Val Claret is ski in ski out?

The top end looks fantastic (I've skied near by) but what is the rest of the town like for very easily getting to the slopes and back. Yes I'm very lazy.

Thanks

Hmmm, I stayed there a few years ago and was pleasantly surpised by the amount of ski in and out there was. You could probably ski right into the centre if you wanted to, but if I remember rightly there are parts of it that can be a bit tricky to make it down to the main chairs, but more so on a board than skis.

As Nelly says; probably most of it... if you pick your accommodation carefully you should be able to fall out of your window / balcony and just about slide down to the base of the lifts without waking up. Just remember to go to sleep in all your gear each night and you'll wake up on the lift! No time wasted. Perfect. 8)

The only caveat is if you've got a complete beginner in your group - it can be a little icy in the mornings.
