I dint stay with ski beat in pan peisey I stayed with Esprit - it takes about 20-40 mins to get over to LA 2000 depndent on what route you take and lift queues - but easily done and a fab ski area enjoy you will love it - definately take the kids to the snow cave its got animals carved in snow and ice inside and also the snowparc thats great fun both over the 2000 side - the restaurant at the bottome of the ski parc self serv is a right rip off and pretty dire though but does have lovely veiws the pizza restaurant at the bottom of the peisey/VanExp lift is well worth it lovely pizzas and great chocolate chaud avec cognac!!!

My dd (7yrs) and I are off to La Tania 5-12 April 08 unfortunately probably last ski trip we will have as daddy decided to walk out on us but thats another story anyway was looking for tips on lots of things - kid friendly places to go for lunch/eve meal on chalet night off? Should we get a full 3 valley pass or local courchevel pass (we both ski reds and the odd black) nice runs to go on with a nice lunch stop in between for a leisurely hot choc - really want to make this the best ski trip we have had especially after what we are going through. Any suggestions greatfully received Thanks

I agree Esprit - been with them 4 times eache time gets better and better - Plan Peisey chalets were beautifull as was the food service etc If you go on esprit website and look on special offers they often have some good deals on there

Hi weve decided on Les Gets after a lot of deliberation and are now in the process of booking up - has anyone any reccs for airport transfers/taxis and car hire costs for either a week car hire or return transfers costs - also I seem to recall something called Alpi bus which is a bit like a bus service does this cover geneva- les gets and if so how much would that be? Help would be greatly appreciated Thanks

as I recall earlier this year we were all doing snow dances - as well as praying to the snow gods
