I gather the last of the French were exiled in 2003. A chap at work
stayed in La Tania this April and reckons it was brilliant.

Chalet City ,

Er, so concrete block self catering apartments like Les Menuires or
Val Thorens are preferable?

Well it was built by the British...




Still very British but at least the down-to-earth type unlike
Courchevel. Mottaret is a far better bet.

They still there, I stayed in Les Menuires in the late 70's. They were
Ugly then. Im surprised the French haven't raised them to the ground by
now . They must look worse than a abandoned Soviet Tenement Block now :-)

I may go back to France one day to Ski. Hopefully when they take out all
the lifts,stop the brutal grooming and give the mountains back to skiers ;-)

Hmmm, yes and no on La Tania. Brilliant for skiing, ski to the door
and access Courchevel or Meribel in a couple of lifts and pretty cheap
by 3V standards but it's very small so the choice of bars, restaurants
etc is limited to say the least.

Not recommended for bon viveurs or serious party animals.

Sounds perfect for me then - someone who goes to ski, maybe get a feeling
for the true local culture (?), and doesn't have the energy left for much
else after a hard full day's skiing.

resorts)

Not enough off-piste for you in the largest ski areas in the world?
