Not been for a few years but my recollection was that it was no more
expensive than many French resorts. Although I think the quality of the restaurants was mostly high. Very few choices for half board most places seem to be B and B if you book direct yourself. The Planibel complex is the main half board option but I did not like the look of that. If you want a recommend for a B & B we stayed at the Chateau Blanc. It has a web site, Roberta and Paula also ran a local restaurant for the half board part. (La Luna i think) Snorer "John" wrote in message ... Anybody been here this season?

Thanks, just got back from Arinsal and it was rather expensive compared to 5
years ago, large beer average 4 to 5 euros. Thanks for the info. John "Snorer" wrote in message ...

Was in Flaine last week. The White Grouse which was owned by the John Willie
Lees family, used to have the only JWL bitter in the Alps. It looks like they have sold out and the atmosphere has changed away from a Sports pub. No more JWL but replaced by Kilkenny. Guess what 6.5 euro per pint and only Happy Hour on cheap larger. I make that over £5 per pint. Things change quickly. "John" wrote in message ...

How much was a large beer in La Thuile?
It's a good international gauge of costs Thanks John "Snorer" wrote in message ... Was in Flaine last week.

John wrote: How much was a large beer in La Thuile? It's a good international gauge of costs I thought the international standard for cost of living was the Big Mac. And if you're going to a place that doesn't have them then it's worth paying more for their beer. Sammy |

"John" wrote in message ... How much was a large beer in La Thuile? It's a good international gauge of costs I was there a couple of weeks ago, can't remember the price of beer, they try and confuse things by charging Euros. But I did notice that our lunch in La Thuile was about half the price of the next day's in La Rosiere. Eat in Italy before skiiing over the border. A. Dieu. Thanks John "Snorer" wrote in message ...

"John" wrote in message ... Anybody been here this season? I was in La Rosiere last week and went to La Thuile for one day. Unless you are already committed to going there I would think very carefully. The snow conditions are not good, several runs are closed and many that are open have bare patches. I was really disappointed as I came to LaRos last year and skied for 5 of the 6 days in La Thuile. This year all the Italians are going over to the French side which, although only it is only a couple of km away, has excellent snow, amongst the best I've seen for a few years. Need prices for meals, drinks etc, thinking of booking group either self catering or half board, thanks If you do end up in La Thuile I would heartily recommend the 'Le Rascard' restaurant for pizza/pasta/authentic Italian cuisine. Its down at the bottom of the village and seems to have some arrangement with the neighbour a couple of doors down who allows access to the restaurant directly from the piste, via his back garden!
