I keep coming back to this idea of a road trip in a campervan to a couple of ski areas but dont really know where to go,I would love to hear from anybody who has been there done that and has any advice for me would be great.I would be driving from the uk so the nearer the better but the sites have to have hook up facillites.

Last Christmas I met a family in Arc 1600 who had their camper van parked in Bourg st Maurice. This is ideally suited - it is an all year campsite with power to the caravans. Bourg is quite low at 800m so it doesn’t get too cold and the campsite owner runs a minibus to and from the funicular station, which is otherwise about a 15-20 minute walk away. The campsite is right next to the very good municipal swimming pool and just opposite the super U.

Bourg is 600miles from Calais, about a 9 hour drive in a car, though I suspect at least 50% more in a campervan.

I stayed at Camping La Muree in Vers L’Eglise for a week in March of this year.  Vers L’Eglise is a hamlet that is part of Les Diablerets in Vaud, Switzerland.  The Les Diablerets ski area is linked to the Villars ski area by chairlift.  The campsite has electric hook-up and spot clean kitchen, toilets and showers.  It is 200 yards away from a cog train that you can use for free if you have a ski pass.  You sit on the train for 1 minute and get off at the Vers L’Eglise draglift that takes you into the Les Diablerets ski area (draglift is 20 yards away from the station platform).  An extra 2 minutes takes you into the village of Les Diablerets. Just outside the railway station,  you can take a bus to the cable car of the Isenau ski area, and to the big gondola up to the Glacier3000 ski area.  Find out more at http://www.lesdiablerets.ch.  I am definitely going back next year.

And as far as time to get there is concerned: from Calais to Vers L’Eglise took me 11 hours in my Camper.
Another one of my favourite ski resorts is Grindelwald (http://www.grindelwald.ch) in the Bernese Oberland and in the shadow of spectacular mountains like Eiger, Monch, Jungfrau, Wetterhorn…. It has its own ski area First and is linked with Wengen (Kleine Scheidegg and Maennlichen). The campsite Bodenwald (200 yards away from the cable car to Maennlichen and tripple the distance from the cog train to Kleine Scheidegg) is open all year and ... is very successful, hence mostly full.  Get in there in time. The camp site is on a magnificant valley run and hence, with sufficient snow is a ski-in-ski-out site.
Finally, stating the obvious - but I’ll say it anyway: the main issue with skiing trips in a Camper is “winterisation”. If anybody is not sure whether their Camper is properly winterised (mainly to do with insulation of tanks, pipes and drains) they should check with their service garage to avoid nasty surprises.

thanks for the info guys I would be hiring the van and they are all so they say “winterised” so hopefully I will be ok but any other suggestions would be great, thanks .
