la thuille or brides les bains

daved wrote:I'll agree with all you say Ally but La Thuille does have a wonderful friendly atmosphere and you can afford to buy lunch or a coffee on the slopes ...also you do have the option of skiing Courmayuer for a couple of days and going to Pila for the day...and La ros is ..boring,,I would have gone to La Thuille but they sold out on Sunday so off to Brides Le Baine next week...let you know

Hi Dave,
Yes, you're quite right. I forgot about the option of ski-ing in Courmayeur. And, funnily enough, I was considering La Thuile and Brides until I finally gave up trying to book myself another ski holiday this year. I could have got the Planibel apartments for £384 p.p. for 2 people for the week (with Igluski).

I hope you have a great time in Brides les Bains. Let us know exactly how long that gondola ride is and what time the gondola starts. I had thought it was 40 minutes from top to bottom, but other people have said it's only 20 minutes. I know it's 3 sections - Olympe 1, 2, and 3.

ta...It got down to £277 on Sunday ...gone on Monday 7am...anyone on here book it

Dave,
I think that was the same offer I was looking at on Sunday, but it was from Manchester for 4 people. I wanted it from Gatwick for 2 people and consequently it went up from £277 to £384 p.p. as it was for a 4 bed apartment.

Yes, Igluski told me that because the snow has been so good this year loads of people want to get out there and experience it for themselves, and the bargains are flying off the shelves!

It would have to be La Thuille - much as I love the 3 Vallees, Brides is (IMHO) a dump of a valley town, and the thought of the bubble each way up to Meribel would put me off. :roll:

Still each to their own! :D

You actually were going to book a self catering apartment for 2 people at £384pp???

You need your head testing.

Do you know these apartments Tony? If not I dont reckon you are very well placed to comment :roll:

If you do know them, they may suit Ally down to the ground. Dont tell peeps they will be/have been ripped off - not very productive to be honest.

You got out the wrong side of bed this morning? :roll: ;)
