Been a pleasure bill,
don't forget - we all like to hear how the holiday and skiing goes so let us know when you get back.

I had a brief look at intermarche but couldn't find any Sat 24/12 opening hours, only general/normal ones.

Adders has a very good point - what time is your flight due to land in Lyon?

Sorry, welcome to the forums - there are some great locals here that will answer your question much more constructively :D

Welcome Bill - as well as great "locals" there are on or two s***t a***s as well - as you have seen.
:mrgreen:
But I have no idea where the best supermarket is for you.

But ...
You will pass several around Albertville, just off the road you will be on, and if that doesn't work there are more in Moutiers and your last chance is in Aime bfore you head up the hill.

But I bet you need more Voltarol, Oil of wintergreen, paracetamol, ant acids.... ;)

Ridiculous suggestion Iceman and I take offence at your suggestion.
:evil:

Actually I tend to take one of my private physicians with me and let them carry all the medical kit :thumbup:

That's very clear and very helpful Tony - thanks for finding it!

I do wonder if anyone at any of the airlines actually reads any of these threads with the views of experienced and knowledgeable skiers?
Or the decision, as with so many things, is just made with whatever knowledge one or two poeple within the airline have?
I don't mind, really, what the luggage criteria are AS LONG AS THEY ARE CLEAR (says I shouting loud!).
That's my beef - a lack of transparency and then the will to follow through with the "rules".
I cannot see why it seems so difficult for clear and simple rules on luggage weight and size so that we would all know where we stand and what to expect at the check in - both ends of the flight!
Mind you there will and would always be those travellers who don't bother reading and then argue the toss at check in when told their bag is 6kg overweight and will cost $$$$ more!
Can't blame the check in staff for just letting things go through, less hassle, fewer arguments, less abuse, simple life!
