Tot and I decided to head up to Chamrousse for the closing weekend.

Return to the 7 Laux but despite and early start and quiet pistes it took us quite a bit of time to get started. Maybe the ski on the Pleynet side, with its slow lift was the cause.

La Plagne is a bit smaller since our last trip.

We decided to head up to the Collet d'Allevard for Christmas lunch and a couple of hours skiing. Really good conditions and plenty to do.

For the first alpine ski of the new season we decided to head up to the Sept Laux after not much thought. It was pretty empty when we arrived.

Very slow going except on north facing pistes with a bit of slope. Some not unreasonable powder on the Kamakaze slopes.

The village of Valmeinier dates from the 12th century with the main activity being mostly farming.

Trip ReportTot reminded me that it was 5 years since we last skied at Chamrousse, at least alpine skied.

Tired after yesterday's efforts at Val Cenis we decided on a lazy day at les 7 Laux just near home.

General DescriptionThe ski resort of Val Cenis - Lanslevillard - Lanslebourg is located at the top end of the Maurienne valley in the Savoie department of the French Northern Alps.
