Peisey/Vallandry: Schneevorhersage

We just checked at ll'Oree ges Cimes in Vallandry for our second ski week of the year here and the third in two years. This is the place to stay if you're very serious about your skiing but have kids and have to keep them occupied so you can engage in some serious skiing. Peisey-Vallandry is basically part of the massive Les Arcs complex. Last time here, I even made it from 1600 m base, at Vallandry, to the highest part of Les Arcs (at 3200 m) and back in two hours (having to pick my toddler up from the garderie). The Garderie, "Tom Pouce", is fabulous. That and a super ESF school and great learning terrain for our seven year old makes the great skiing possible. And the skiing is great not only at Les Arcs, but also at Peisey- Vallandry itself, with long high speed lifts and super fall line skiing. In fact, my favorite lift in the whole greater complex is The Derby in Peisy-Vallandry, which is half above the tree line and half in the trees.
