Snowboarding in Switzerland or France?
I'm going to be in the area for a business trip and wanted to get some
snowboarding in during Dec 6-10. Could anyone provide recommendations of where to go? I can get free lodging near Lausanne, but my priority is in going to the best resorts. I'm looking for advanced runs (at least by North American standards). Thanks, Brian |

If you are in Lausanne consider Saas Fee or Verbier, probably Saas given your dates as this is still a bit early in the European season. Saas Fee is a 3h ride by car from Lausanne. Saas Fee is only at may closed. (Excluding there is to much wind) Verbier open yesterday. 2 Slopes are open http://www.televerbier.ch/ Johannes |

Or indeed Zermatt - Gornergratt and Rothorn normally open the first weekend in December (presumably this depends on cover, but they have for the last two or three years). Jeremy |

We're going there the last weekend in Nov. for the second year running. -- Ace (bruce dot rogers at roche dot com) Ski Club of Great Britain - http://www.skiclub.co.uk All opinions expressed are personal and in no way represent those of the Ski Club. |

It is only a couple of hours (max) to the Porte de Soleil from Lausanne. Used to drive up to Chatel on the weekends - links up with Avoriaz, Morzine etc. |

Earlier than that. We're going there the last weekend in Nov. for the
second year running. Any idea on how many pistes are normally open at Portes du Soleil around this time? I'm also staying with a friend in Lausanne from 2nd Dec until the 8th Dec and we are planning to drive up to Champery if theres any snow. -- David Brown ) http://kitemap.co.uk/stack |

Not a clue, I'm afraid. I wouldn't even know if they're open at all. I'd suggest going to their website (linked to from the Ski Club one if you can't find it) and checking there. I'm also staying with a friend in Lausanne from 2nd Dec until the 8th Dec and we are planning to drive up to Champery if theres any snow. Verbier should be open by then, and probably has a better chance of good snow than Champéry, I'd have thought. -- Ace (bruce dot rogers at roche dot com) Ski Club of Great Britain - http://www.skiclub.co.uk All opinions expressed are personal and in no way represent those of the Ski Club. |
