We were packed in like sardines in an ancient cable car with little to hang onto apart from each other.

Long waits to get up the mountain (45 mins), intermediate runs were pretty sleep and powdery. None of the maps were working, so had no idea where to go

From here you can walk to Le Lac Blanc or - even better - take the ski lift from there to Index. There are fantastic views from the station and you can visit the refuge restaurant before starting on your journey. It's worth going to Le Lac Blanc as if you are as lucky as we are, you'll see marmots,... More

Flegere is very good place for skiing, not as good as Grande Montets, but really worth visiting, could recommend it.

Came down on this on our return from a days hiking. Was a bit crammed in as it was only 30 minutes before the last cable car down. However, it does its job and you will need to use it if you don't want to walk down!
