 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi I am staying with a group of friends in Courchevel 1550 in a few weeks. I know this is the quieter part of town so will need to get the free bus to the higher levels of Courchevel for a good night out.
Has anyone had any experience of the local taxis in resort? I know the local bus finishes at 1.30 am so want to know if it is easy to pick up a taxi after that and how expensive they are?

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

Wow! That's insanely expensive!! We'll probably drink in our apartment but want to end up in a club at least one evening. Any idea on the cost of a cab down to 1550?

A club? In Courchevel 1850? If you have to ask, you can't afford it
(btw, how's your Russian?)

a cab from the main town up to jardin alpine (a 5-10 min taxi, still within 1850) was €20/25 a pop. down to 1550, i wouldnt be suprised at >€40EUR.
Also note, the clubs are expensive, as you'd expect. good but expensive. make sure you check out le mangeoire and les caves, 2 great venues. bar le bal next door to mangeoire is good for drinks beforehand.
some of the best clubs i've come across in the french alps can be found in courchevel

We used to sledge home in bin bags dished out by the Dutch bar from Plagne Centre to 1800.

Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:

you can just leg it down the piste (more direct than the road!)
If you decide to sledge it do be careful as Frosty suggests there have been a few late night disasters doing that

FAQ
If you drink in 1850 till after 1.30 am you'll be clean out of money for a taxi. 
I paid €17.10 for two coffees and two croissants recently - it was 8 am so the cost of alcohol wasn't an issue.
