Pros


A good night out in France. Everybody understands English. Easy access to Val d’Isre and Tignes collectively known as the the Espace Killy skiing area. There’s a lot of cars and while there are many buses during the day, devoted party animmals should aim to be within a short distance of the town centre.



Cons


Dear. Hectic and very fashionable with English skiers, and so not for people anticipating a typical French resort to relish a stress free vacation. Numerous lifts can shut in inclement conditions. Some tricky blue and green trails.
