Campervanning in Alpe D'Huez , January snowboardin trip

[BMVS-Camper-Hire]

Under three weeks before myself, brother and my eldest son go tp ADH for four days in a California. We are taking silver screens, vanorak, snow tyres and a small plug in radiator. We will be staying at the hard standing at Les Bergers, which is approx 10 euro per night with hook up. The ski pass includes leisure facilities so we can shower etc there.

Anyone camped here before? Ive been to ADH loads, and stayed at the site at the base of the mountain, in the summer, but never camped at the top.

Yes it's a great road, part of the Tour. I've done most of it on a mountain bike and it was hard work!

Sorry guys as much as I love my Cali there's no way I'm doing a ski trip in it unless it involves a nice lodge/ chalet or a little hotel with a bar and sauna and room to move about in comfort ... Lol

I share your desire for creature comforts whilst skiing however we wanted to give it a try..campsite we are staying has bar, restaurant and pool so almost there, just lacking the space but we don't intend to be in the van that much.

Sorry still not quite the same unless there's a tunnel going to the shower toilet restaurant and boot room for that ski in ski out experience and walk around in my t-shirt ...lol
