Hi

Is walking an option in this resort(instead of skiing),either cross country
skiing or just plain walking boots on and go?...travelling in 1 week

TIA

I hope it's not the only option as I too will be travelling there next
Saturday ( 5.00am Gatwick yum yum!! )

The official Tourist Office distributed blurb does show images of snow
shoeing and has details Cross Country skiing. It also advertises something
called Ski Joering and Donkey Rides - it's amazing what's legal in France
but I guess you would want to get there early and pick a pretty one ;^)

Have you had a look at
http://www.2alpes.com/winter/uk/site.../news/news.php as there may
be information there that will help.

Cheers

Clive

thanks Clive,I'll save the prettiest for you!

(Ski joering is basically putting on your skis, harnessing yourself to a
horse, and off you go. An all-year-round sport, same principle, but
using grass skis. Great fun.)

There's a enjoyable walk from the village end of 2 Alpes down to the
picturesque village of Venosc... most people walk down and get the
gondola back to 2 Alpes, but if you think you're fit, try it in both
directions... it's a fair climb back up, about 2200 feet vertical. Well
marked route, but have only done it in the summer and autumn, no idea
what conditions are like in Feb.
