 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi
I've ended up here after searching on another forum which didn't have any guidance and I couldn't find any help on google either.
I'm looking for a kind of generic costs guide for ski resorts (besides just lift passes / ski hire) for things like food and drink so I can figure out a budget for spending money to take with us. For a bit of context we're a couple staying in a self catering apartment (don't mind cooking but will most likely have a few meals out - nothing fancy. Also maybe a drink or 2 after a day on the slopes but no crazy nights out).
Lift passes and equipment have all been paid for in advance with our booking so I'm not concerned with those costs.
If anyone could point me to a site they know of that has this kind of information that would be fab (I can't believe one doesn't exist when there's always information of this type about regular holidays). Equally anyone who has recent knowledge of the resort that could offer any guidance would also be appreciated.
Apologies if this topic has been covered before, I did do a search but couldn't see anything.

Try "Where to Ski & Snowboard"? It's a good place to meander round the streets with plenty of varied eateries and high end shops. Also handy for a trip to La Thuile.

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

@sjg666, welcome to Snowheads.
Very cheap for the Alps on the hill. Coffee a euro, beer same as London. No reason why you need to spend more than you do at home eating in. There’s plenty of choice in Courmayeur for eating from cheap pizza to swanky restaurants.

The best way of saving money is the ski with a rucksack with bubbles and drinks, although Italy is generally very reasonable prices on the mountain compared to France. There's usually a mini market in every ski resort with reasonable prices for food and alcohol.

5 of us ate last night at the American bar on the Via Roma. Including several drinks and a 1/2 bottle of white wine, the lot came to 110 euros. Most bars in town will be charging 5-7 euros for beers & wine. If you want a good FREE buffet, visit Bar Roma on the Via Roma and just pay for your drinks. Usually put out about 6 pm. La Piazzeta also along there is very reasonable for Pizza & pasta and very friendly. On the mountain prices are not too bad. Way better than France. Pizza from 8 euro for simple to 15-18 with more toppings and very good value, big enough to share. Super G very expensive and pretentious. La Soleil just past it good value simple food, think sandwiches from 3.50 up. Hot dogs 5 and so on.

Ate at La Palud restaurant last Sunday... Pizzas bigger than the large plates they come on start at 8 Euros, a half litre picher of wine another 8 Euros. La Palud is just past the SkyWay lift by the Monte Bianco Tunnel, worth a trip out just to see if you can eat a whole pizza.
Otherwise +1 for Bar Roma, there's plenty of pizza establishments in the town itself, also of mention is the pizza place just by the Val Veny lift, quiet and cheap with typical pizza choice, including the all-white pizza "Monte Bianco".
On the mountain try the BBQ ribs at Zerrotta.........

Courmayeur if very good value. If you go for apres drinks most bars put out a buffet. So you can have dinner for the cost of a few beers.
Other than that most food, drink, taxis etc are like UK prices.
