Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Would that stretch to Precision in Val d'Isere???? I know a snowHead who is hiring from there in a couple of weeks or so who would certainly appreciate any discounts that could be negotiated.....

stewart woodward, what a decent chap you are for getting the party atmosphere going for all snowHead visitors.

I'm coming out to Le Lac on 28 Jan, so will definitely try and get my group (10 of us) out to the Alpaka on the Tuesday night.

Apologies for the ignorance as this is my first time to Tignes, but are the Alpaka and Precision Ski (for those who will be hiring) in the Le Lac part of town? We're actually going to be at the Chalet Camille (one of the Ski Olympic places), and some of our group tend to go and hire from either the nearest place or the one recommended by the tour rep - which may not be the best or good value!

Many thanks - Jon.

You can access tinternet from various bars without your laptop.
Not sure of them all but try Lavachet Lounge, Jam Bar in Lac or Maison de Tignes in Le lac.

You will definatley find somewhere

Skiing down to Les Brevieres is possible but a little rocky in places depending on which run you take. The Sache is bumpy and a little bare at the bottom but the other runs are ok (info hot of the press tonight from nbt snowHead )

The accomodation, like all resorts, is varied and is dependant upon the price you pay. Puzzled
