Sorry? I don't understand your third post.
?
Not universally. Which is why I said 'impracticality' not 'impossibility'. ;-)
I foresee the odd impracticality with that idea. Zell am See and Kaprun not being in Germany...

:roll:
Why I love La Plagne

I've seen much worse than Avoriaz.
Never been, so not really qualified to make suggestions about cafes and restaurants. I know booger all about Austrian wine as well. What I do know is that any Austrian pilsner will almost certainy be miles better than the 'Stella' that is available in the UK. Have a good one. :-)

I don't think anyone needs to be in a rush to go there before it gets too busy, accommodation is pretty limited and the locals want to keep it that way. The lift companies (I think there are 5 of them in total) are all owned by local and the regional government agencies so they are not looking for a great return on their investment.

I think the only way they will be able to increase numbers is by building the proposed link to Cervinia and Zermatt, but there is no money available for that at the moment and in any case there will be a lot of opposition from environmentalists.




I do hope you're right. This place has a 'certain something' that I can't quite describe, (I keep using the word 'authenticity',) and that I have never found anywhere else.

This might sound a little over-dramatic, but you get a feeling that you are on the 'edge of wilderness' (or as near to the edge as you can get in Western Europe.) The locals must have literally been scratching a living before the arrival of tourism. I think that many of them are still aware of that and that's why they are so connected to, and protective of their environment.

I look forward to that! I do like a good trip report. :-)
