After reading the comments on this forum we're off to Camping L'Escale in Le Grand Bornard between 17th - 24th Feb, if anyone else is going at this time give us a shout

(We'll be the ones nursing our bruises on our first family skiing holiday!!)

Great, well it's now looking like more snow over there so fingers crossed. Great way to start and lovely village.

We still haven't heard much from those who went at Christmas...

have fun. Ask if there's anything we can help with.

Hi,

We stayed on the campsite over Christmas & New Year & had a fabulous time (first time skiers & all that)

The site is clean & well kept with excellent facilities.

You can catch a shuttle bus right outside the gates to take you to the village, or to Chinaillon (smaller village higher up in the mountains with excellent ski-ing) or to towns further afield. All this is included free of charge in your booking.

We spent Christmas Eve outside the motorhome, glass of mulled wine in hand watching the kids tobogganing on the campsite. Open air skating is just a short distance walk away. It was a truly magical experience.

As for ski-ing, it's brilliant - we spent the first three days on our backsides, but after that our legs & bums were so bruised & numb that we managed to stay up without trying!! Seriously though, we had such a great time that we're going again in February to Les Gets.

Enjoy yourselves!!

We'll be there from the 10th to the 18th, so a small overlap. Give us a shout. We leave home late on Thursday night with a 3am tunnel crossing. Can't wait....
