LittleRob, You'll find it's a bit like Marmite on here. I've spent about 30 weeks there so must be in the like camp. It's a reasonably big, very snow sure resort with skiing right up to 3600m at the top of the glacier. I've never been at half term but obviously it will be very busy like other big french resorts. It's pretty lively with a good selection of bars and restaurants. Price wise it's a bit cheaper than other similar sized or larger resorts.
The Diable chair is one of the main links up the mountain. It's a fast 8 man chair and gets you a fair way up the mountain. The area around it is close to all the bars, restaurants, etc. It depends where the Vallee Blanche accommodation is. If it's the other end of the main street that should be fine, a little slower to get up the mountain but no problem, just a walk over the road to a lift. It's probably also very handy for Pied Moutet which is the mountain on the other side of the resort which is quieter. Still only a few minutes walk to bars, etc with some close by.

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

Claude B Thanks for the info. I've also canvassed some opinions off-line and we have concluded that its probably not for us. That said, we're having real problems finding *anywhere*. The last 2 places we've enquired about (with apparent availability) have turned out to be either booked, or in the process of booking.
So, we're back to square one ;-(

LittleRob, it's late now to be booking for half term in France, which coincides with one of the busiest weeks for French school holidays too (Paris). Why not look elsewhere? I have an apartment in a small French resort which will also be rammed that week (though with few Brits) and shall be nowhere near the place.
Why not try Italy or Austria? Plenty of advice here on specific Italian and Austrian resorts, if you give some indication of your priorities (maybe change your thread title).

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Little Rob, While it is a little late to book, there is still availability around half term but not knowing your requirements (e.g. numbers, budget, experience), difficult to say where is best. This website, http://ski.sunweb.co.uk/, which I've not used before but has come recommended seems to have a fair number of options available during the half term week that you're looking for.
Needless to say costs will be high and crowds will be aplenty!
