Skiing on “Pays désert” or the several “Super L” (west facings) or skiing two routes on “La Banane” (east face), from Bellevarde. In the afternoon, ski on west slopes like “Les Marmottes”.
Days 2 & 3
Val d’Isère Le Fornet (several intermediate difficulty lines in GRANDS VALLONS); or skiing in Tignes, easy couloirs of Petite Balme (P2, P3), and “Tour de Pramecou” (Tignes), etc…..
If we ski on Le Fornet, we’ll ski many fantastic routes on “Vallonnets”and “Grands Vallons” and “Signal west” and “Signal nord”. If the snow conditions are good, the best are “Signal nord” and the steep “Vallonnets” ; we’ll eat at lunch at the best altitude gastronomic restaurant on Espace Killy : the Signal restaurant.
So probably one day skiing in Tignes and one skiing in Val d’Isère.
