Saint-Sorlin d'Arves (Les Sybelles) Kar Tahmini

Just got back April 6th 2013. Very nice resort with lots of runs and a real feel of travel when using the entire Les Sybelles area. The variation of runs suit all abilities and the off-piste potential is huge, loads of easy to access areas without the crowds. Only downside was the variable piste grooming. We had a heavy snowfall as we arrived. Most of the blue/red runs were never groomed for the entire week and after 3 days the new snow was in heaps on the pistes. Only lower slopes, mostly green were groomed, yet there were 5 brand new piste machines. Not sure if it was economics or near the end of the season but several lifts were not working and several runs were closed off. New virgin snow left unskied. A great pity as the area is a real gem.
