Looking to go skiing around easter time to france Alpe d"huez , hope to fly to Lyon then get a transfer to the ski resort , any one got any info, snow conditions resort etc ?
i know this is a American Disney sort of forum and my guess is nobody knows any thing about this question - but hey you never know:)

We've been to Alpe D'Huez skiing a couple of years ago....but over New Year not Easter. From what I understand conditions in March should be great ;)
These links might help you find some information..........

Thanks for the reply and links melly mouse :happy-thumb , was looking to visit at the end of march time but as you are probably aware this is almost the end of the season , only worries i have at the moment is the snow conditions, i would not like to book it and find out on arrival there is no snow :thumbsdow
Almost booked this trip last weak with expedia , found a real good deal but as i got further into the booking process i found out that when you fly into paris the connection to lyon was by train :tut-tut: not what i had in mind ,
many thanks MM:)

I would think the snow should be fine.
Especially if you can get up onto the Marmotte Glacier??!!
The resort is actually open until April 27th this year. So they must be expecting the resort to be skiable until that date at the earliest!:happy-thumb
Snow depths there at the moment are excellent so there'll be a good base.
Hope you find yourself a good deal!
We went to Morillon/Flaine etc (Grand Massif) this year and had a fab time - going to do the same resort next Winter as we all made so much progress there!

Just wondered - did you get to go skiing at all??
