Mail for help.Help!!

Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Chamonix - booze pit stop!

 Poster: A snowHead
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.

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

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

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.

@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.
