So i decided to book this appartement in Bellecote.
But i have so many questions...
1. The logistics. I will go from germamy. Meaning i can have some Things with me already. Worth it to stop somewhere to buy more groceries assuming that I dont know when will be the appart available? Many that do Not need refrigirator will already with me in the car
2. Which skipass. Paradi or la plagne? Assuming that the Main Thing is the improvement of the Kids level
3. La plagne Website says something about when buing the 6 day ski pass you can ski from 12.30 pm at Saturday
Sunweb ski pass jas not this but travelski ski pass says something about smile and ski pass. Is this the meaning of this above? This question combines with
4. I Intend to make a stop over during the arrive day: that means friday morning heading to france ca um 04.00 am
Skiing somewhere. Sleep there ans next morming at 08 April either skiing and heading to la plagne or go to la plagne and ski a little bit there
I am checking e.g. flaine or round chamonix
5. Every other help regarding where to eat near the slopes in la plagne around 12.00 - 12
30 pm with the kids or what Else to do with the kids is welcome
PS
sorry for the Mistakes
Sometimes the Auto corrector Chancen some Things and i noticed that although i spend some years in UK i amlost forget some Things

I see you have now booked Bellecote so my comments may not be so relevant. We have skied many times in all 3 resorts you mention. I would personally never go past Tignes as I have always found some good skiing. In Flaine we experienced the worst rain ever last year in April and have had rain there late season in other years. Getting around La Plagne usually annoys me as the uplift can be slow and links not as good as elsewhere. We prefer to stay in Les Arcs or in Bourg St Maurice. With a car you can ski Les Arc, La Plagne, La Rosiere, St Foy and Tignes/Val d'Isere.
The only place that I never get bored is 3 valleys and you can go there cheaply. Go to Brides les Bains, lots of apartments and get the gondola up to Meribel next time. Good luck!

The car is not an Option at least in Frankreich.
My daughter becomes really easy Problems with driving with many u-turns so driving from st.maurice is out of question. B.l.bains is a good choice but i want with the kids something really ski in ski out (otherwise i had some options in Austria)
As regards as the point you mention about la plagne maybe a problem but with the kids we usually concetrate in a few slopes.
We line to cruise only if there are many blues

We always stock up at Geant Casino in Albertville before the drive up in the morning, whether the apartment is available or not. Perishables will keep.

If the kids are the focus, as they should be. And staying in Bellecote, I would probably buy a La Plagne lift pass.

Having trouble deciphering the above but yes, it is standard for 6+ day lift passes to include free PM skiing the day before. You should contact whoever you booked with to confirm.

You'll need to Register first of course.

I already ask.
However sunweb said does not include the Day before.
Thats why i asked. If it is Standard why it is not included?

yes, but if book from an agency such as travelski or sunweb etc, a Paradiski ski pass for 6 days, will i get automatisch the extra half day?
Both of them said it is not included in the package

@turms2, I would very much expect it would be on there.
Ultimately these agencies are buying from the same place as you and I would.
They probably just don't know about it.

i suppose so. However i didnt manage to figure out 100% if it is so or not.
The problem is that making a stopover somewhere else i need to be sure if it is worth it to go to La Plagne round 11 in order to ski from 12.30 pm for free or stay where i have already sleeped e.g. Chamonix and ski Saturday somewhere round there where the ski pass costs from 26 pro person
But ok, it is not important right now
UPDATE : The half day free is proposed only for purchase of the Paradiski pass.
If you buy this pass with a travel organizer, you will receive a voucher.
Once you arrive in the ski resort, you can go to the lift pass office with your voucher to add the hald day free for Saturday. There is a ski pass office in each village in La Plagne. The half day start from 12h30 and you can ski just in La Plagne.
Thats the answer from ski-laplagne.com, i suppose the lift company.

@turms2, when I've previously got an apartment = lift pass via an immoblierre it has been already loaded on the lift pass card.
Either way I don't see why it would be an issue. Even without a voucher the lift pass office should put it on, if it wasn't already.
If you download the Paradiski Yuge app on your phone you can put in the number of the lift pass card and then it will show you on there what is the validity.
We have used this feature many times, never been an issue. Never needed a voucher or to go to the lift pass office. But we have never used Travelski or Sunweb.
I take it you haven't booked it yet? Maybe just book the apartment via an immoblierre.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Travelski has also confirmed that with Paradiski 6 Day pass, you get the half day free
However i search also via an immoblierre. But then i have to book the ski pass myselft.
The price only for the ski pass (from la plagne website) costs almost as the whole package from sunweb or travelski

That is surprising. I have booked a trip for next week to Les Menuires. And it was cheaper to book via tourist information than snowtrex.
What prices are you seeing?
Note: undoubtedly sunweb, snowtrex have some great offers sometimes but I never find them cheaper but maybe because of the places/dates we go.

@Layne apologies for the very late reply- I’ve been off snowheads forthe Summer!
We have gone for LesCoches and that looks great.
Thanks so much for the reply.
