Tignes Vs Claviere

Ski area looks good to be fair. Never been, never fancied it much.

Tony, Flaine might be a lot of the things you don't like about France, but you are right the ski area is good.
Thing is, there are so many places to go - I'm keen to go to La Plagne.
My sister came back last week and said it was probably the best ski holiday she has been on. And Austria is normally her favourite too.

I must admit before i went to la plagne in january i was a little concerned with reports about it being a concrete jungle etc.. but the main reason i go on a skiing holiday is to spend as much time on the slopes as poss and as far as skiing goes la plagne rocks!! loads to do even without the link to les arcs.Tony give it a blast and you might find its actually as good if not better than a lot of resorts you have skiied in!!! who knows?? :lol:

Well I agree that the main reason to pick somewhere to go is for the skiing, which is why I went to Serre Chevalier last month, and why I am booked up for Alpe d'Huez for next Jan. Having said that I STILL have to say that the best places I have been to for ALL ROUND great holidays have been Austria. Mayrhofen and St Anton are hard to beat in terms of having a large and varied ski area, traditional alpine town, and lots going on with a good choice of pleaces to eat and drink. Sadly, as much as Serre Che ski area was fantastic, off the slopes it was dreadfully dull and quiet.

i must agree tony, st anton is my favourite resort of all time but there childcare facilities are not very clever which is now an issue for me!! but as far as other austrian resorts go like soll, kitz etc they don't even compare to st anton.
