Now I like to go to areas that offer discounts to the 60+s...makes me feel very superior...but then I have just bought a new pair of skis and then I tore a ligament or 2 going too fast in The 3 Valleys so maybe I don't qualify

€3.2 for a packet of Walkers crisps in Flaine !!!

the restaurant on the slopes by 1600 is cheaper and also has a picnic area
Depends how you are going ,,,if you have a car its MUCH cheaper to shop outside the village......and hire the skis before you go the difference is astounding .../I know I had to do it in the village and my friend pre hired through skiset

you get to the lifts by a free bus that stops outside the tourist office and the cinema...there are some nice runs at the top of the gondola to get you started and a nice blue down to Morrilons nice skiing and there looks still to be lots of snow
don't get the full grand massif lift pass just the more local one...enjoy yourself
Help with my shortlist

I like italy !!

been to la thuille from La Ros and loved the skiing there much better than La Ros..and the drag is a drag!..Courmayeuer is ok and the lift pass includes 2 days in La T (including free bus)or Pila or even Cervinia (but it is a trek from there)

Looking at a budget trip next season and thinking of going to Limone di Piedmonte..which has a few special offers of hotels including the pass..and no single supplement (€399 for the week RyanAir (spit) to Cuneo)
La Tania info anyone?

no it doesn't take long to get to the other parts of the 3 valleys ...looked a nice place and half the price of Courcheval where you need a second mortgage to by a coffee
Bouc Blanc is a lovely fast red back down to the village but it was getting a bit soft in the sun when I was there 2 weeks ago
