one thing to watch for if you are 'sensitive' to what your kids hear is that on the lifts near the FD (top plein sud /3 vallees 1) from 2ish you can hear the lyrics quite clearly. I must admit even being pretty broadminded I was quite shocked about some of the lines on a trip pre-xmas - we're not just talking the lilly allen stuff about wet patches and giving  it was talking about A-levels and a lot lot more..

Funny you guys saying it is expensive - my daughter says it's very cheap - she never has to buy herself a drink 
She is addicted to the VT one, more so to the one in Val

Yeah 360's easy to spot, on the Combe de Thorens green back into VT, and it has a bl00dy great knife and fork sticking out the top!!
Seems to get pretty packed but it's always in the shade at the end of the day and gets really cold. Much prefered the Folie for end of the day beers for that reason. Had a really good burger in 360 though, although it was 8€, then 6€ for chips.
The outside bit gets pretty lively but the froth on my beer did freeze over so maybe one for warmer days...

All sounded a bit boom boom to me - just going past on the lift made my ears bleed (thereby giving away the fact I'm not 25). Preferred the guitar band in the Frog - although if I'd have known it was 5euro a pint I might have packed my ear plugs and gone for it.....

I thought the frog was one of the worst bars in VT. Folie was great especially at home time! I've never seen so many falls. Malaysia was one of the best bars/clubs I thought, looks like a garden shed but totally huge underground.

Dancing on the tables in the frog when we were there but it was chalet staffs night off which might have had something to do with it. That was from 4:30, don't know if it dies off a bit later.

I'm 40 this year, and can't wait to pop in here for a swift half before getting back to Les Men.

Was excellent in Jan, but was a bit surprised when the police were breathalysing the folks at the bottom of the mountain after the bar had closed.

You know it makes sense.

Dreadful noise, over-priced booze...
...but the view can be splendid.

cathyalltwen, make sure you keep left on the route down! If you don't, then you'll drop down to the Plein Sud lift and have to go back up and then down again via a blue. Got lost in fog on the first day's skiing last week and swore myself hoarse when I saw I'd have to shag all the way down again through slush.

Ham, is your daughter a brunette? I think she got naked in the Frog at some point last week.
Didn't realise Malaysia was a massive club! Missed opportunity, it looked like a food shack. Balls..

Hah, I've stopped in there for a few beers on the way home before but never knew it was either expensive or well known. Never really been out, out in VT as have always been in a relationship and there for the skiing.

You are never too old to enjoy the FD - In January we were a group of 40+, 50+ and 60+ enjoying it with our 20 year old siblings!

Quite a lot of people don't buy drinks there but just sit on the piste nearby, listening to the music and drinking from cans that they've brought in their backpacks.

great atmosphere, but in my view full of utter b*wbags!
Although did enjoy watching a man clearly new to skiing and with a sickening money to sense ratio repeatedly try to ram his skis into the snow to stand them up.... tips first.

FAQ
I have done red's in other places but it kind of knocked my confidence a touch! Does anyone know if it's an easy ski back down to Val or if it's possible to ski from here to Val or would we have to get the bus when down the bottom? Thanks for any info
