Swskier,
I like Val Thorens. I think it's great. We've been there twice now, 2 years running. The ski-ing area is vast, and there's a large number of runs to come down to get back to the resort - not like those places where everyone ends up coming down the same blue run at the end of the day.
Have a great time :D
Ally
Waiting to go.

My trip to Les Men is by coach too...keeping this trip to a tight budget has allowed me to have another trip...possibly a third if I all goes to plan.
I don't mind the coach because I usually sleep the whole journey after the ferry anyway. Flying is much quicker but so more stressful for me.

Snowb4ndit,
You're lucky you can go by coach. I get sick after more than about an hour. It sounds like a very good way to save money,

Is that just for the coach? What about the apartment?

Snowb4ndit,
That's very cheap. So what else have you got to pay for - just lift passes and food? The lift passes are so expensive now. It's totally unbelievable how much they cost, 7 days for 3 valleys = 267 euros.
