Thanks AndyHull :D
It looks like a lovely chalet, but I don't suppose people would want to go to Val d'Isere in 2014 because we're going to Tignes in January 2013, and it's the same ski area.
But that does look like a reasonable price - about the same as we'll be paying for the chalet in Les Brevieres, after adding in the cost of transport and lift passes.
I might try ringing skiworld up tomorrow and see how they do their group bookings, to make sure they'd allow us all to pay separately. When I phoned up some TO's before I booked the independent chalet for 2013, they said they'd only allow group bookings if we all travelled together as a package - in other words we'd all have to fly from the same airport.
I wonder how Skiworld do it. We could always go to another of their chalets in a different resort.
And - Nelly wouldn't like it if we went in January, because she wouldn't be able to come - again!

There are some chalets floating around the edges of Les Arcs.
A few around 1650, some over Peisey way (def worth thinking about) and some in the 2000 bowl.

I would like Les Arcs at the beginning of Feb, because I could get there easily on the train, and we probably wouldn't have many holidaymakers here at home for me to look after then.
But somebody said Les Arcs was hideous. Does it have any nice bits, where we could have a chalet, that aren't too expensive?

I've skied les arcs. Thought it was very good although would choose Espace Killy over Paradiski.
Les Arcs 2000 is a bit brutal, architecturally. There wasn't much ambience as far as we could tell. More happening in Les Arcs 1800 but didn't spend much time there. We stayed in Les Arcs 1950. Excellent accommodation but to be honest it was quite flat in apes ski terms. Didn't see many classic looking chalets as you would see in val d'isere

Thanks Bedrock Barney :D
I was very impressed with Tignes/Val d'Isere (Espace Killy) during my 3 days there. It's an enormous ski area with a good mixture of runs, some really nice long runs, and it's very well connected.
Maybe we should ask SnowCrazy about Les Arcs - as our resident expert :D
Perhaps there are some decent chalets hiding somewhere in Les Arcs :lol:

I, personally, preferred the La Plagne side to Les Arcs but I thought the main accommodation areas were soulless ..Monchavin and Champagny were more traditional and the former is right in the middle of the full area
