Ian, Ian, oh dear Ian - that so much depends on what "it" was which can be implied but not confirmed from your follow on post.
:mrgreen:

Andy, That would be telling :lol:

Yes, The more I look the more I want to go to Tanninges. I think it's about twenty minutes either way to Sameons or Les Gets.

I reckon about 5 mins to Morillon is the nearest

I think you're right there, because we went along to Morillon in January to ski with Wickers the wicked and his lovely family. Didn't take long at all. (Once we found the correct directions!)

And I'm very much looking forward to doing it all again this winter .... now that wasn't too wicked, was it ?? :wink:

I think it's well wicked that we'll be doing it all again! 8)

snowb4ndit, Wickers please ....

Lol, It is an open forum indeed, it is also a SKI forum. Now let me give you a few clues as to what we were doing, we were in the french alps, it was mid winter so plenty of snow, we were not doing floristry, pottery or skittles. What we were doing begins with an 's' ends with 'ing' and has a k imbetween.

I didn't think people from your neck of the woods were that sensitive...must be the extra fingers. :lol: :lol: :wink:

Extra fingers are useful sometimes.
and lots of activities meet the criteria you set out above :roll:
Oh my spare finger corrected your typo :lol:

Hi Snowy,

Sorry I'm a bit late to the thread....on the property search side, from a totally biased point of view you can't go wrong with Bourg-Saint-Maurice.

Depending on your budget you can get in at the bottom with a small studio for around 42000 euros, and then from 75000 - 140,000 euros, from here up you can get newly built apartments from 140,000 - 300,000 euros.

On the house/chalet side , a split chalet ( two large apartments sharing one building ) at around 240,000 euros, and house and chalets from around 270,000 upwards. There is a nice one for sale if I win the lotto tonight with 4/5 beds plus it's own self contained 2 bed apartment for 520,000 euros.

Bourg-St-Maurice is served directly in the winter via Eurostar, SNCF etc , and is linked into the Les Arcs ski area via a 7 min funicular train ride to the lifts at Les arcs 1600.Also within 35 - 50 mins drive you have La Rosiere , Ste-Foy , Tignes , Val D'Isere and at the other end of the valley the Trois Vallee's ski resorts which are approximately 50mins to 1hr away.

BsM has some of the best restaurants in the Alps ( just my humble opinion ) and as BsM is a traditional working town you do not get stung for eating out at resort prices.....it's still possible to have a four course evening meal with wine , digestive ( brandy , cognac, genepi etc ) and coffee for between 20 to 40 euros per head, or you can have good wholesome mexican, cantonese , italian etc from 12 - 22 euros per head.

All in all a great place.

Best of luck
