I normally ski in Austria and have enjoyed all the resorts i have been to as they have been well served by high speed lifts (often with covers and heated seats) and an excellent bus service where needed, but apparently there is little of that in France....... Is it really all slow lifts, closed with the slightest breath of wind, and hideously over priced food?


HAHAHAHA
I'm with you Tony.....

Im not sure i get all this 'bad food' rubbish. Its bad in the UK from time to time, from eatery to eatery.
Travelling to another country doesn't mean a step up in food from home, just different, you'll still get naff places - with eggs.
Skied: Arinsal, La Plagne, Alpe D'huez, Flaine, Les Arcs, Morzine, Les Gets, Avoriaz, Sauze, Courchevel, Val Thorens

Agree Snapzz, I've had bad food more often in America than anywhere else in the world, but plenty of places in the uk as well.
France generally does good food, its what they pride themselves on, but talk of food being rubbish in Austria is, well, rubbish.
Airline food, food at airports......That's bad food

My thoughts exactly, Thanks.

We have decided we are going to Italy next year now, just got to decide on an exact location. We will be flying into Turin, due to local airport, so that does narrow it down the other end.
Going to stick a pin in a map.

Italy is a fantastic place and Turin airport is brilliant - the Italian food does not have many

eggs in it so you will be ok ;)

Italy is good, well the parts I've been to are anyway.

You might find it a little agricultural though, and watch out for the ski buses which are smaller and far less frequent than austrian ones.

When I went to Sauze I managed to get a seat on the bus every day - that came every ten minutes....I did not have an egg all week ;)
