Poster: A snowHead
|
VT first timer here.... 1. Where does best bread
2. Do the lifts open any later during Easter in view of the longer days
3. Is there actually a 50% reduced beginners pass for a limited number of lifts...I've read it but not sure if was an old post
4. Any recommendations for a happy hour that's isn't A rip off and are kids allowed in bars during words ski?
Thanks sliders.....

1 The one on the bottom road is pretty good
2 5pm latest IIRC. It's plenty late enough given the cornfest once April comes around
3 no idea
4 Pretty sure it's fine. Apres ski is kinda weird. Folie is always banging in fine weather, K+F can be dead as a donut.

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

Kagallag,
1. Sherpa, Spar & Carrefour are all very good (IMO)
2. I think they still open at 9am. They do close half an hour later after Feb though, with Plein Sud chair being last to close at 17.15.
3. Yes. Half price - covering Cairn Gondola, Caron gondola & Deux Lacs chair - & possibly Cascades chair, though I'm not sure... (in addition to the 3 free magic carpets).
4. Not sure about the kids but The Red Fox usually has a decent happy hour, as does the Frog & Roast Beef & The Shamrock. (The Frog was €4.50 a pint during HH last month).
Remember to let us know how you get on!

@Kagallag, depending on where you are staying, you can get fresh bread delivered direct to your door each morning from most of the bakers.

@Kagallag, It's been a few years since i last went to VT, but you should give the Rhum Box a go.

@Bergmeister, I paid 9 euros for a pint in Folie a few years back.
@Dave of the Marmottes, by the time the EoSB rolls round I think Plein Sud May be open as late as 17:25, it’s certainly open after 5 as I always try to catch it as late as possible in the last day.

@Kagallag, SUCRÉ-SALÉ on Rue du Soleil is a bakery. They also used to do a filled baguette, bag of crisps, a drink and cake for €7.50 a few years ago. A lot of resort staff used to eat there which is usually a fair endorsement for value & quality. You can get to it from the main drag piste by nipping up the lane just below the ESF Piou-Piou area and turning right up the road.

Yeah I think that's right or thereabouts. It's the sweeper lift so I always try to catch it or the barn lift to the Folie in the middle of town.
