Poster: A snowHead
|
We are staying in a TO chalet in PP in January, which is c.150m from the Vanoise Express, if that helps with bearings.
Haven’t been to the area before but it was chosen as there is access to a hotel swimming pool for our non-skier. However, we understand it’s also possible to get a day pass to Club Med in Peisey Vallandry to use the facilities there, have lunch etc. Has anyone done this and if so, was it worthwhile, is it easy to reach on foot, or via the free bus?
I have asked CM direct and they advise day passes are available but not to pre-book and the cost can vary. We have to ring on the morning of the day we go for availability and cost. That’s ok if it’s worth doing, so views would be helpful. Thanks

@Montana, If your chalet is 150m from Vanoise Express you're no more than 200m away from Club Med I'd say.
Plan Peisey and Peisey Vallandry are (in this instance) same place so i think you can get there on foot. Certainly easy to walk from Vanoise Express to Club Med

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@CaravanSkier, thank you. We’re aware of Hotel le Vanoise but great to hear from someone who has used it and can recommend. She’ll probably enjoy a massage at the CGH property, and that’s an option we weren’t aware of, so thanks again. We were quite spoilt last season in that our chalet was less than a minute walk to the excellent resort pool and spa, so our non-skier went most days as she loves to swim

@Montana, A 2nd vote for the spa at the Vanoise. The pool and jacuzzi overlook the returning slope to PP and the chairlift, so quite fun to watch. IIRC, the pool is open in the mrning, but th steam room and sauna don't open till 1.30-2pm. Last year it cost 15euros, and ther is also a small gym there you can use. I understand you can use the pool etc at Club Med, but it costs 60 euros and you have to eat there too (included in cost). Its dead easy to reach from the Vanoise Express . Make sure your non-skier goes walking in the Vanoise National Park too - take the lobster pot lift down to Peisey, and there is a bus that runs every half hour to the Nordic Centre - not to be missed! Have fun
