wendygoinggetstough Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 We fancy a skiing holiday over Christmas 2009/New Year 2010. We have a winterised Hymer, and would value recommendations for campsites and info on how to purchase lift passess etc. My main concern is how to dry skiwear, as it will not tumble dry. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niton Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Hi, The best advice is to go to the website www.motorhomeski.com This will provide you with all the information you will need. When we have been skiing in the French Alps and the French Pyrenees we have we have stayed on Aires de Service. Les Gets has a good Aire as does La Tania. Most resorts have a ticket office next to the the lifts. Most people speak English. Campsites in the Winter can be expensive and not so convenient as the Aires. We have not experienced ski clothes getting wet and needing to be dried out. I hope this helps you. Regards, Peter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ski about 8-10 weeks in the winter at a place called St. Gervais Le Bain which is handy for a lot of other resorts as well. I have a friend who skis their and parks his van in the lift station car park for the whole of January although their is an aire in the town. Their is a good campsite at Les Contamines, not sure of name but google the village am sure it is on their website. You can buy a liftpass in any resort from ticket office and some, like St Gervais you can buy on line with a big discount if you purchase before end of October. Wet skiwear does happen, it can rain on you even in the winter, but if decent quality it dries really fast and just hung in the bathroom for a few hours is usually fine, less if you have blown heating in there.

docted Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 RoyH - 2009-08-16 9:24 PM Sorry couldn't resist it. Is this a new sport. The only problem is the lack of a lift back up to the luton! Great that you don't have to go far to get piste! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
