Poster: A snowHead
|
Driving over to Chamonix at the weekend, and we are thinking about stopping on the way to pick up some wine and beer.
Can anyone recommend a good shop/supermarket that doesn't deviate too much from the motorways, and is reasonably priced? Would rather stop nearer to Chamonix than one of the Calais booze cruise supermarkets.

@monotokpoint, there's a small but well stocked super u in Les Houches or a Carrefour just as you get into town both have parking. If you want a big super market then the Carrefour on the road into Sallanches is best.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

That's what I would have recommended although TBH the price premium in the supermarkets in Les Contamines (and I imagine Chamonix) is really pretty small

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Yep, but it's more a convenience (laziness) thing tbh whereby we can get it in the car and straight to the chalet rather than carrying anything

@monotokpoint, |
Calais, so most likely A26 down to the A40

Just round the corner from the Carrefour in Sallanches is Aldi, which someone recommended when we first started coming. Limited choice, but excellent prices and quality.

@monotokpoint, I'd be tempted by Lidl(Aldi?) annemasse.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

@monotokpoint, why make more than one stop?
Also, order in advance and home delivery?

@jbob, Hi there, I'm going to be in Chamonix next week, Zero G said I should get in touch with you, having just had my first Snow Head experience in Gressony this week. Had some great skiing here, and hope for more of the same in Cham!
Hope the snow's good.
