Siiiick.
I've been down Le Lac a fair few times since I've been here but pretty much solely for the Spar.
Gonna be fucking sick when everything opens up. It's a ghosttown!

As I mentioned in the other thread in these regionals, I'm in Tignes from Jan 29th until 5th Feb.

With 7 other boarders...

I'm staying in "some place" called: Chalet Eterlou. So stoked!!

I "think" it's in La Rosière although I'm not 100% sure.

Do you possibly mean Les Boisses or Les Brevieres?

La Rosiere is an entirely different resort, it's not that far away but it is in no way connected with Tignes or Val D'isere

It's Les-Brevieres. I've looked it up on google and says that it's there.

I hope that's its close enough to some nightlife although as I'm only there for a week, I probably won't be going out every night. I would like to try and get first'ish chair most mornings.

There's some good bars in Le Lac and ValClaret, I havent actually gone to Brev yet because its a bit of a mission when the busses arent on yet.
It'll probably be pretty decent though, all the towns are a decent size, I just hope theres enough snow down there, theres no snow below like 2600m at the moment, at least freezing level is getting lower. :)

brev is pretty nice. i stayed there for a week earlier this year. not the busiest of places but there are a few bars around. underground bar at chalet chardons was good fun a couple of nights. just make sure you get to la folie douce (sp), it's a bar up on the mountain. best afternoon session place ever

Lavachet Lodge is like £200 for the week, and UCPA do some stupidly cheap deals.
