Myself, girlfriend, and her 13 y o are off to Valmeinier for our first ski holiday anywhere (apart from the indoor slope in Glasgow).
Firstly, what clothes should we take for the evening wandering about the town? Lined walking trousers, or jeans, or the salopettes.
And can anyone have any tips about the resort. We bordering intermediate skiers, but prefer the beginner slopes.
Thanks,
Douglas

Don't know Valmeinier but in general jeans are a good bet for the evening; lined walking trousers are great outside but most alpine restaurants and bars are kept pretty warm and lined trousers will quickly steam you...
Wearing salopettes is a fashion crime in some quarters but is nonetheless popular (amongst Brits anyway), and acceptable if you've come straight off the mountain and into the eatery.
