Ski Resorts in Les Sybelles

In one of my earlier posts I told you a bit about the location. But I didn't mention much about the ski specifics in the area. So here's some more details on that. The table below shows the runs in all four ski areas within Les Sybelles. 320km, that should do right? :P

The slopes' altitudes range between about 1550m and 2600m above sea level. There's a snow park pretty much in the center of Les Sybelles. But that will probably be out of bounds for me at the moment :P . There's also a mini-snowpark though, I might do some experimenting over there.

According to what I've read the chalets are very close to the La Chal ski-lift (about 100m). So that's handy. Below is a map of the lifts and runs. Click to enlarge :) .

The weather today was not very good as far as I could tell from the webcam images on the Les Sybelles website. Yesterday was much better. I suppose it can get pretty cold on the chairlifts when the weather is down.

So that was a bit more about the ski areas :) .
