Hi.
Have been a few times and love it,its a very compact and friendly village every thing on hand one club the Whiskey Mule a sports bar and a few others all close by lively apres ski mainly centered around the Salven Stadl with live bands most nights, Have to get the ski bus to slopes would recomend getting a taxi realy quick for about 6 euros,Beginers slopes at village level and a green and red down, you can ski back to village and cross road into villge at the Salven Stadl.Has a good sports complex for swimming saunas . Happy Holidays Goff |

Hi have been to Arcs,la Plagne and Deux Alpes
with club med, an rate it very highly ski hire is not incluced and you have to buy vouchers for drinks out side of meal times.Meals are self service with a huge choice all wine and beer soft drinks included you can get back lunch time sit on sunny terrace have a 3 course with wine included luvely.Lessons ESF 4 hours daily 2hours in morning 2 in afternoon,insurance is included with your lift pass .Nightly caberet performed by staff very French but make everyone feel at home.Rooms are basic but every thing you need.When we went to Deux Alpes we had a Vito there and back from Geneva for 2 of us hate to think what that would have cost.

Hi has anyone got any experience with ESF, I have seen mixed reviews about them. ?(samaras)
Hi my opinion of ESF,if you are in the top half of your group lesson they are fine. They do not seem to understand that learning orta be fun as in Austria and Italy,the fact that sum of us have never been on skis until we are in our well out of our teens and self preservation kicks in on a blue run seems totaly alien. Saying that if you want to be pushed especialy at a higher level cannot fault. Goff |

Hi the ban is being adhered to totaly.
we were a small local bar where chain smoking is a sport and the change was staggering mind you the patron had a right cob on. Other bars and restaurants were the same. Goff |
