Another recommendation for Verbier depending on your trail preference the natural 'Enduro' style trails guided by Bike Verbier are awesome I'm fortunate to be aTweed Valley rider and the trails we rode last year were incredible. Happy trails
Decision time tonight over a few beers. Tignes is looking favourite - it seems to cover all bases and abilities.
The recommendation for Chalet Chardons is looking a good one - when I mentioned I was worried about the small bus, they've offered to drive us all up to Le Lac every day - now that is service!
Decision made - Tignes/Val, staying with ChaletChardons in Brev.
the lift opening dates, the Funi will be open the 2 weekends before the main area opens on the 2/7/17

I think you are correct, but that table is 2016 dates.
It feels real now - chalet booked, Eurotunnel booked, permission to travel from SWMBO.
Standby for a "Any off piste routes in Tignes/Val" thread 😉
It is last years but it the same most years, they are open for this race in April http://en.lesarcs.com/live/focus/ski2bike.html
A few good foot paths to ride in Val and Tignes but snow could still be and issue, all depends if it snows like late April like last year. A lot dumping this week .
I agree, but full opening a week later this year, and weekend only 2/3. Add the Transarc closed on Saturday too and it's too much of a PITA.
I've become a bit obsessive over the Tignes/Val webcams, watching the snow, willing it all to melt! The snowlike is far higher than this time last year, so fingers crossed it all melts before July. Morzine looks snow-free already!!
Are you restricted to driving in mainline Europe for any particular reason?
Maderia would be a good shout if not!
Only because we live so close to the Eurotunnel. Anyhow, its booked 😀
We are there at the same time, and all week prior! plan is to stay in Bourg and ride what we can of Les Arcs with away days to Tignes, Val, La Thuile etc.
