 Poster: A snowHead
|
My family and I are planning on going for a weeks’ skiing the first week of January staying in Les Menuires as a cheap (these things are relative!) way to ski the T3V.
The accommodation is already booked - a self catered job a couple of hundred yards from the bottom of the Bettex chairlift. The place looks nice enough and almost ski-in-ski-out however puts us out of reach of the standard shuttle bus to travel around the resort (at least it looks like it does on the map on the website anyway).
Various girlfriends/ boyfriends will be coming and no doubt will want to escape the clutches of my family a couple of evenings to go for a few drinks/ a meal and this might cause some issues by way of our location and the location of the bars/ restaurants (such as they are) in Les Menuires.
Has anyone here stayed in the same area/ have any local knowledge on how to get around from where we’ll be based? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Ps: we will have a couple of cars with us but I’d rather not drive as I’m not sure on the parking situation and it would put pay to the “couple of drinks” idea.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

@PrinceJohn,
oh oh, Bettaix looks nice enough for a quiet stay but to get to Les Menuires and from it you have to use the chairlift (roughly 9-5 as I recall, but check) or you need to drive. There used to be a bar in Bettaix but it may now be shut.

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

Ahh I see, I was hoping to avoid taxis but if it’s the only real option then I suppose we’ll have to suck it up.

I’ve never been that low in Les Menuires myself, but just a guess, possibly this is the legendary bar/nightlife in Bettaix?

If so, it could be, you could find there’s not a lot of French spoken in the bar, if you can get in and it isn’t private . . .
As it clearly says:
“Après & Action
Gesellige Treffpunkte sind unsere kleine Hausbar oder die Schneebar direkt vor dem Haus. Beliebig feiern ohne zu stören, könnt Ihr einmal in der Woche in der hauseigenen Disco/Bar im Keller des Hauses. Nachtschwärmer treffen sich dort auf unseren eigenen Partys oder im Dorf. Darüber hinaus organisieren unsere Reiseleiter ein Programm aus Après-Ski-Aktionen, Schneeschuhwanderungen, Fackelwanderungen und mehr.”
Intriguing. Could work for the adventurous.

Thank you very much for this  .
Although after using the auto translate on Safari, I see their “care by frog” (yes, really) isn’t quite as high as I would like.
