The whole restaurant looked very well built - it is a most impressive structure! |

I have a found a photo of Le Panoramic restaurant up by the Grande Motte glacier on here:

It also has the menu, but no prices, and I can't be sure it is the menu for the coming season. However, I remember eating up there (from the self-service not the fancy restaurant), and being very impressed with the quality of the food. It was very expensive, but much appreciated at the time :D And this is a photo my daughter took when we were there in October 2009. It's a very difficult thing to try and photograph. I asked her to include the cafe and the mountains. At least you do get an impression of how high up it is and the amazing view. It's at 3032 metres.  |

I've added you as well, and updated/edited the existing whole list for today, because otherwise the number of sleeps/days goes all wrong. And I don't want to have to post up a whole new list each day, because it is a waste of Admin's pages! So far, Excel seems to be behaving itself OK and everyone's sleeps are one less today than they were yesterday :thumbup: |

Hi Lily2222, and welcome to J2Ski :D
I bought my insurance this year from PJ Hayman through the Ski Club of GB. It does cover for off-piste etc. but there is a £250 excess for search and rescue, and it's not cheap. You don't have to be a member of the Ski Club of GB to buy it. My luggage is covered by our household insurance so I told them I didn't need that element of it, and that reduced the price a bit. I will also buy the Carre Neige insurance with the lift pass, which costs about 2.80 euros per day, and take my EHIC card with me - so I should be well covered! I have previously bought insurance through the Post Office (which was very cheap), but last time I did that it only covered off-piste if you were with an instructor or guide. You should be able to buy insurance for the skis etc. from the hire shop in France - they are always trying to get us to buy it. But the trouble is that you are supposed to take reasonable care of them, which might possibly include carrying a chain and padlock with you and locking them up outside cafes. Most people seem to try and fool the thieves by splitting their skis and mixing them up when they leave them outside cafes. |
