Why I love La Plagne

Perhaps the ugliest edifice in any ski resort, anywhere!

Thanks Daved :)

That's OK, I don't care about the concrete. I live in a really beautiful place for the rest of the year - all I care about is the ski-ing and the price! Once I'm out of the apartment and up the mountain on my skis I won't be able to see any concrete :)

Thats really strange Ally, part of our attraction to skiing in the alps is the beauty of the mountains, but these ugly purpose built monstrosities
Avoriaz,Val Thorens, La plagne to mention a few are nothing less than a total disgrace, to wake up in the morning look out of your window onto the sights of Avoriaz to name just one I could just not imagine..... I just would not stay there not even for free. :evil:

It's an odd thing Ian, but I never look out of the window of my apartment/hotel room/chalet bedroom. The first time I saw the view from the Bonjour chalet was when I was sorting out the photos that everyone else had taken to post up on J2Ski! And I was paying extra for a balcony (although the only reason I was doing that was so I could have a room with a bath in it).

I suppose I must just have a screw loose somewhere :cry: :lol:

However, I do like looking at the view when I'm actually ski-ing, or sitting outside a mountain restaurant in the sunshine eating my lunch :)

I didn't actually mind Val Thoren but I disliked La Plagne. Can't really tell you why. I felt that way about the skiing too.

Same for Les Arcs, didn't much like it but loved Alpe D'Huez and Les Deux Alpes??

Didn't go a bundle much on Tignes either (but the company was good) :D

Think I am as mad as you Ally! :lol:

If I can lend you a screw driver all you need to do is ask -) :thumbup:
