Easter in le Grande Massif
Started by User in France, 7 Replies
Just had a look and the red is called Timalets that goes to the gondola, but there's a blue too.
Watch out for the restaurant at the top of the gondola, think it's The Molliets, we still refer to it as 'expensive restaurant'.

I have been to this area few times at that time of the year.
You should be able to ski back to the village ( the runs end at the gondola) but it might be a case of skiing down a strip that's been kept open.
The red run (I think it's red, been a while since I went) down can get pretty rocky and bare in places too.
But, don't be put off, it's a great area for early April as you can easily get to Flaine where the snow should still be great.
Lovely area. Have a great time.
It won't be horrendously busy either.
I imagine the simple answer is MONEY

Congratulations.
Grand Massif at Easter always been good conditions when I've been (4 times)
Flaine especially good snow, but never stayed there.
It's not an attractive place, but some people rate it.

Also been to Les Saisies (ok snow, but whole area not open) and Val Thorens which had great snow and -15 temps with heavy snow and closed roads 11th April.

My son went to Les deux Alpes on 13 April last hear, again snow good and new snow during the week.

You will need to bear in mind it'll get heavy in the afternoon, the snow won't be like it is in the earlier parts of the season, but I've always loved that time of year. You can sit out in the evenings and have a drink and when you come home it's Spring!

Are you sure tour operators don't do Easter? Or do you just mean for Norway?

No offence but the 1st one was better than this one.
Where is it? Guessing it's not Wengen.

This is an incredible achievement!

I loved the quote (African apparently) from Ade Adepitan in the studio
'If you want to go quickly, go alone, if you want to go far, go together'
Absolute teamwork.
Well done girls.
Anyone a non-helmet enthusiast?

I don't think it is law in France that kids have to wear a helmet.
The ski school might insist as part of their policy, but a child can legally remove it once their lesson is over.


Got the info from here
