AGB1 Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Val d'Isere has excellent runs, never get bored of them. Main problem is the price - I know most French Alp resorts are expensive, but Val d'Isere seems to be even worse. If you're self catering, buy as much as you can in the lower towns etc, if you drink alcohol; stock up in hypermarkets and drink plenty before you go out. There are loads of good bars, some good restaurants and lots of posh people looking down their noses at you if you're not wearing Gucci ski-gear! All in all, probably one of the best resorts I've been to in Europe. Have fun you lucky thing!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neeeeeeeeeek Posted December 31, 2010 Author Share Posted December 31, 2010 I have heard bad things about the price of everything, going to take 20 cans of strongbow with me as don't drink beer. I don't blan on doing much drinking, I can do that in Sheffield! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verona Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Like the above. Take plenty of money with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 It's a nice resort, but budget twenty quid for a cheap lunch! You can get across to tignes easily where it's a bit cheaper but don't miss the last lift back up as a taxi will cost loads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonJeremy Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Take lots of money with you Don't go down "Face" when it's icy unless you are a good skier. Take your credit card with you. Brilliant skiing The Moris Pub is a good place to go Did anyone mention it is quite expensive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclone Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 A helmet would be safer Definitely, I've concussed myself several times and now always wear a helmet. It's very easy to give yourself a whack on the head and whilst a helmet isn't cool, not cool is better than dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not buy spirits in duty free, mixers are cheap enough to buy in resort and duty free doesn't count against your luggage allowance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
