Acquiring a new skill is a fun but also challenging process, and this is especially true when we are talking about learning how to ski. Whether you want to enhance your abilities on the slopes or are starting from zero experience, skiing is not the easiest sport you can try. Skiing is a challenging and exhilarating activity, and you will see that there is always room for improvement, no matter if you are a beginner or an advanced skier. Learning how to ski before hitting the slopes is essential; otherwise, you might find yourself in a tragic scenario, which is surely something you don’t want t ..read more

La Tania turned all white overnight but very few ventured out first thing on Wednesday morning with poor visibility hampering progress.
This meant working out where the fresh snow lay on a good base or was just thinly covering bare ground (or a hybrid slush/frozen ground combo ..read more

Congratulations to Greg
We were coming out for a long weekend and I started looking into the possibility of doing the Escapade in a day. The forecast wasn’t great on Saturday or Sunday so it had to be day one!
I noticed on Thursday that both Verdet and Ours were shut so that was two extra lifts added to the plan!
Heather and I were outside Legends at 8:55 however when we got to Olympic they said it was delayed due to the pisteurs not back from checking the Face piste. We waited 10 mins for it to open!
It was forecast to be very warm and sure enough by the time we got to Bettex th ..read more

Congratulations to Zen & Taiji
We started in Courchevel 1550 and it was me (Zen Okada, 15) and my dad (Taiji Okada, 51).
Piste closures made it tough, especially the run from Mont Vallon to Mottaret (Ours) being closed and the Fôret lift being shut. We just about beat the slush to finish with ten minutes to spare!

First lifts and first tracks also gives you the chance to spot the local wildlife!
Plenty of people disrespect the Black Grouse breeding area fences below Lanches chairlift so really nice to spot this gorgeous looking bird this morning. The tail feathers used to be worn by Scottish regiments to denote rank.
We also spotted a fox (or was it a Wolf?) strolling around here first thing a few weeks ago.
Marmotte spotting has been pretty quiet so far this season but there’s always at least one in April near the chairlift of the same name – a good place to start looking along with under the St Mart ..read more

Congratulations to David and Charles
David and Charles Nops, father and son, completed their fourth successful Escapade together on Thursday 14th March 2024.
First lift start from Courchevel 1650. Completion was done despite significant queues at the major lifts at Le Masse and Val Thorens, also a serious accident in the 4th valley involving the chairlift being stopped for a helicopter rescue. 3rd photograph taken from one of the highest points in the route – Cime run coming back from Orelle.
Many thanks, Jenny.

Even during the school holidays there were some bargain flights to be had when avoiding weekends and if you can get in to Lyon early enough there’s a cheap direct train to Moûtiers that connects with the bus service up to La Tania.
But we missed the train, had to pay again, go later and longer – another reason to use one of our recommended Private and Shared Transfer Companies to La Tania.
And yes, we had no bags, weren’t in a rush, didn’t care where we sat and certainly had no kids in tow but it would take something to beat these prices.

Congratulations to Lisa & Mark
Bonjour!
2020 I was doing a season in La Tania and I heard about the Escapade. I planned to do it in March, but Covid put a stop to that. 4 years later I have finally come back and was determined to complete this time with my brother, Mark.
We got the first lift out of it VT, with blue skies and freshly pisted slopes awaiting us. We took a few deviations of the current planned route, to include the 2 peaks Mont de la Challe and 3 Marches. We were very lucky with the lifts, as there were very few queues.
The weather turned in t ..read more

Congratulations to Nick, Rory & Rupert
Having followed L’escapade adventures for many years, today I finally completed it with two others.
Rory, Rupert and myself completed it despite the horrendous queues in Les Menuires. It took 7hrs 53 minutes, in blue bird conditions.
We started in St Martin de Belleville, great fun.
The website is great, keep up the good work.
Best wishes, Nick
