 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
Am catering for a group of 9 (hungry!) 17-18 year olds for a week in Val Thorens (plus two hungry teachers!) and am mindful of how much it may cost to use the resort supermarket. Was wondering if there were any much cheaper options within 1-1 and a half hours of VT where I could stock up for the week. Yes, I know, I will be wasting valuable skiing time by doingo so but the old muscles probably can't take more than a few hours a day anyway! Any advice greatly appreciated.

liam71, cheapest is probably Geant in Albertville, about 1 - 1.25 hours away. Go past the Albertville turnoff and it's on the right. Otherwise there's the Champion in Moutiers which is smaller but perfecty good.

Or the is the Large supermarket complex just at Chambery. A little further but larger than Moutiers.
But Moutier has a Lidl, Chambery doesn't.

Would that be called METRO (the cash and carry)? I am driving up to the EoSB and am on the look out for a Metro as I have their card and it could be a very good beer/wine and sherry (don't ask) source.

Does the trip to Moutiers really justify the savings when looking at the round trip? I suppose it could, but only if you passed through in your own transport on the way or really wanted a morning out of resort.
Were I in charge of catering it would be a case of off to Sherpa for a pasta-heavy menu!
