Hi again,


You may well need snowchains to do the above drive to Villaroger, the roads are usually kept clear but there is a lot of snow about at the minute and the road is only a minor one.You can pick up a reasonably priced set of chains in SuperU in Bourg-Saint-Maurice, the chains are near the far right corner as you go in, you will just need to make a note of your tyre size and then get the corresponding chains.....diamond pattern chains are better and have more grip than ladder pattern.

All the best,and have a great time

Hi,

The nearest resort to you from Ste-Foy is Les Arcs, you can get into the Les Arcs lift system by going to Villaroger/Le Pre instead of driving down to Bourg-St-Maurice.

From Ste-Foy ski station/resort drive down to the main valley road, and turn left and drive on to Saint-Foy-en-Tarentaise village, as you enter the village the road will bend to the left and then to the right, on this bedn there is road off to the left signed Villaroger....take this road.

Follow the road down into the gorge and over the bridge (take car at the bridge as the road can be a little icy) carry on up the road into Villaroger, drive through the village square and out the otherside ,the road then forks....take the left fork up the hill to the apex of the next bend where you will see a sign that says La Ferme/Le Pre....take this track.

A little further on you will see a car park, you can park here, or carry on up the road to the main car park round to the left, the ski lift into the Les Arcs system is about 50yards or so from here, you are also near the bar/restaurant La Ferme.

With a full pass for Ste-Foy it includes either a free day in Les Arcs or a discounted days skiing ( you will have to check i am afraid as it's a while since i have done both).

If you PM me your postal details i have a spare Ste-Foy resort information brochure i would be happy to drop in the post to you if you would like.


All the best

:DHi,


The conditions in Les Arcs are excellent at the minute and will be all season i would imagine, I've just had a text from a chap who came back from my apartment today and he says it was snowing heavily in Bourg-St-Maurice today s he left ......so lots of new snow to top up an already great snow base.



Enjoy yourself in Les Arcs and have a safe trip :D :thumbup:
