don't panic. I've been there twice at easter and the only place that's been really busy is the area over the top of the Troviere above La Daille in Val d'isere. It won't be nearly as bad when you're there I'd imagine. There were no queues either :thumbup:. the runs above Val Claret are fantastic.

Loop bar at the bottom of Trolles in Le Lac is very cheap and very friendly.

You'll have a blast :mrgreen:

I've been to Les Arcs at new year and it was a lot less crowded than I expected it to be and no problems with the lifts (apart from at ski school start time at the main gondola in 1800, but the same could be said in most places).

It's fab, you'll love it :thumbup:

I got one today from iglu with very large savings, one was £469 pp off a catered chalet at easter :thumbup:

Have a good one :thumbup:

I've been through Moutiers and Bourg st Maurice three times, once over new year and twice over easter. We had an horrendous journey on the new year trip, a three-ish hour trip taking almost seven hours :shock: but had no problems the other two times. I think you'll be absolutely fine midweek.

The funnicular is a good call from Bandit, then you're almost there and if something does delay you then you can make an on the spot decision whether to ski in Les Arcs or to carry on up to Tignes.

Where are you staying in Tignes?

I believe it's the yellow bus that travels between the three resorts and it only takes about 20 mins or so.
From Obergurgl we were offered a day in Solden for an extra 10 euros and you had to make the decision when buying the pass. I don't know if it's the same the other way round or if it was the op pulling a fast one.
Enjoy :thumbup:

Breakfast - fruit juice and cereal, usually corn flakes with milk, sometimes hot

Lunch - mixed rocket salad with ham and cheese, orange peppers, thousand island dressing OR a bowl of soup OR a tin of Heinz Ravioli

Dinner - white meat with jacket potatoes and mixed salad OR beef stew and mashed potatoes OR sometimes chicken fajitas with salad OR pasta (lagange or tuna pasta and red onions).

I have managed to stabilise at a certain weight, but no matter what I do I cannot go any lower on the above diet.

I'd immediately replace the cheese with something else, it's the worst :shock: [and the best :cry:]. This could be all you need to do.

If not, is the 1000 island low calorie? Beef stew is not good. Normal mashed pototoes are not good, I'd go for boiled then mash them up a bit with very low cal mayo. With the fajitas, I make loads of roasted veg like courgette, mushrooms and peppers to mix in so I'm not eating so much chicken and use loads of salsa rather than guacamole.

You don't need to go any lower do you?
