La Forêt Blanche
Hello,
A group of us will be going to La Forêt Blanche in a couple of weeks, staying at Vars. We chose this resort as we are a mixed ability group and the price was very good (£210 flights/transfers and ½ board). Has anybody been here in the past that could recommend runs for the more advanced of us? I've not been able to find that much on the internet for this resort but what I have found seems to say that the off piste is quite easy to get to and that there are quite a lot of lanes to try. As we have our children with us we are only looking for a couple of half day excursions so not too much hiking uphill and as we are boarding, and ideally not too many flats. Thank you for your help. David |

David I'd say you've made a sound choice - we revisited Vars last season, and have put our experiences on this much-underrated area he http://www.mountainpassions.com/wint...s/ski_vars.htm - which should give you plenty of food for thought. Although not, IMHO, in the same league, it's worth a trip over to Risoul 1850 to take a couple of runs down the outermost piste on your left as you descend to the village - it's effectively a long, snaking half-pipe, akin to a boarder-cross run on steroids. Enjoy it for me... Roger www.mountainpassions.com - an Online Magazine with Altitude |

Thank you Roger, I had read your write up but had lost it again. Thanks for the link, I will make sure I cover all the routes you mention. Regards David |
