 Poster: A snowHead
|
First time to Val d'isere this weekend. I'm a bit concerned on reports of how expensive Val is for drinks. Is there any cheap pubs there?
How much is a pint there anyway? Surely there is somewhere down the back streets?
Found this resort review by an ex-worker:
http://travel.ciao.co.uk/Val_d_Isere__Review_5415671 - looks like 'the saloon' should be tested.
Also this one http://www.natives.co.uk/resorts/vdi/valdisere.htm ...but I do not underterstand what "sharking" is in the Pacific Bar. Any ideas?
But as an ex-sauze d'oulx rep I know that workers (chalet staff etc) often do not the best places to go.
Alternatively I may need to get stocked up with beers from the supermarket and take my karaoke machine.
Supermarkets:
What are the supemankets like in Val? is it worth stocking up in the hypermarket in Bourg on route?

kezzy1966, sharking is most likely some form of attempting to pick people up.

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

New phrase on me. Surely you would not attempt to pick someone up at the biginning of the night? Sounds potentialy expensive.

It's the theory of "go ugly, early"

Just found this on http://www.mugss.org/comedy/injokes/sharking.shtml
"Sharking
Just for a change, a definition that isn't directly related to alcohol...
Sharking is defined as chasing after desirable members of the opposite sex in an unsubtle and determined fashion. " "... The term covers both a determined play for a single person, and more general attempts to pull anything that stays still long enough. Unsurprisingly the most notorious society sharks are known for the latter. "

Don't know about cheap pubs, but for reasonably cheap lunch on the slopes I use the Marmottes restaurant next to the bottom of the Marmottes and Borsat Express lifts. It's around half the price of the next restaurant down the hill (Folie Douce I think)

I seem to remember somewhere called the Clock Bar or something (it had a lot of clocks in anyway, I think). My memory is not too sharp, so I obviously overindulged. However I do remember prices starting fairly low and then increasing as time went buy to normal levels (well VdI normal).

You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

NickB, I agree about the Marmottes. I was quite shocked by how cheap it was compared to most places in Espace Killy!
Val isn't that bad and there are cheap places to eat and drink. It caters for all markets. There is a good and biggish supermarket near the centre.
