The
biggest chance for snow in the Ardennes is between end December
and mid February. On
average there are 30 snow days per year.
Within
15 kms of the chalet you find a few slopes (alpine and cross
country). You don't need snow chains unless there's more than 50
cms snow.
The
best known ski-slopes are :
- Baraque
de Fraiture (foto - 15 mins. from the chalet). E25 exit
La Roche, 300 meters from the exit.
- Val
de Wanne (25 mins from the chalet)
Cross
country: near Gouvy, Samrée,...
Whenever
there's snow, it gets quite busy at the slopes. In the morning
you'll lose most time at the rental department for shoes and
skis as for most people this is a one day trip and they don't
have their own equipment. If you do have your own material this
will safe you a lot of time!
Approx.
price per day: €25. Ski equipment €15.
The
lifts are quite old but they work! For those who want to avoid
queing we have one tip: instead of queing, place yourself
alongside the lift and grab one of the bars from someone who
made an attempt but fell off (there's quite a lot of them so you
don't have to wait for too long).
