wazza,
I always went via Annecy, the other option is the Motorway via Chambery - longer but Motorway driving (with tolls).
Not sure what boxing day will be like but if it is busy it can take ages but it's not a 'changeover day' (Saturdays) so probably not too bad apart from the locals heading up to the Three Valleys & Tarrentaise. As far as Supermarkets I doubt any will be open (Albertville, Annecy or Moutieres) but the Casiono and Sherpa in ValT will be open.

Thanks a lot for your response.
Are the Casiono and Sherpa OK ?(as far as supermarkets go!) My only previous experience of high altitude supermarkets was not great - expensive and not much stuff available. Ta

wazza, your best bets are Geant in Albertville or Champion in Moutiers. I don't know if they will be open when you arrive. If you travel via Annecy (which is probbly the best route), the Albertville Geant is in the opposite direction to VT when you join the motorway at Albertville - but only by about a minute.
Consider the VT 'Supermarkets' as a UK village store.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

wazza, I have tried both options, and I much prefer to stay on the motorway via Chambery, you can get stuck in traffic in Annecy/Albertville going the other route.

wazza, there's a Champion at La Salines, the exit for 3 Vallees from Moutiers, if memory serves, there's a Super U around there as well.

Not so sure any of these will be open - they still shut supermarkets at lunch and don't open on Sundays! They probably even pay the staff a decent wage aswell!
Might be a chance though as they do most of the celebrations on Xmas Eve rather than Xmas Day I think i.e. Boxing Day may not be all that big a deal.
I would ask/ PM Easiski or PG if you defo' want to avoid the resort selection (which is probably ok) and prices (which probably are not ok).
