Road Trip

Year after year, me and my brother-in-law head off on a package holiday with 40 others. We have a great laugh but the snow is always a gamble. 2009 is very different. Just the 2 of us are planning a last minute road trip to France and head to the powder. We intend to rough it as the wives are not accompanying us so his van will be both transport and accommodation!!!! Does anybody have any experience of this idiotic behaviour plus ideas or knowledge of overnight parking facilities at any French resort??!! All help and info gratefully received.

Hi there

I am sure a little while back there was another couple of nutters, ahem I mean travellers lol that were planning the same thing in a van.

have a search through the threads from the beginning of this year

Campsites link at the bottom of Page 2

There is a camp site in Bourg St Maurice which is open all winter and you can then ski a different place each day eg Tignes/Val D'Isere, Rosiere, Les Arcs and La Plagne. However, all the vans in the campsite look like they are winterised is have some form of heating! I think there are also a few hostels around in Bourg and over towards Vallandry which are cheap and cheerful and may be a warmer option.
