Can anyone recommend any SC apartments in Val for 4 people? Nice and spacious not the usual french rabbit hut please.

Are Les Balcons de Bellevarde in La Daille any good? Looks like they used to be a typical French-dump type apartment block but recently they have been renovated and this Trip Advisor reviewer reckons they're now great... 50m2 apartments sleep 6-7 for 1500 euros per week - sounds reasonable?
From the point of view of nightlife how much of a problem is staying in La Daille? I have read that there is a free bus that runs until 2am?

We stayed in La Fornet back in March. Nice spacious place. Can't remember what it was called, but we booked it through the Val D website.
La Fornet is a little out of the way, but there is a regular shuttle bus running until about 02:00.

50 square metres is pretty small for 7 (about the size of our apartment) and means 3 people sleeping in the living room. I would say that size apartment would be "nice and spacious" for not more than 4, and cramped for 6. Daft for 7. One toilet, which may be in the bathroom.... no proper oven.

hd, if you fill any ski apartment to capacity it will feel like a rabbit hutch. It's like buying a tent - you need one which claims to sleep at least two more people than you intend to put in it.
You could think about self catering chalets, which tend to be a bit bigger (and more expensive).

hd, bloody expensive for 4 of you though. For 1500 euros per week, I'd want something a bit more luxurious.

My apartment is 50.7 square Metres and I consider it crowded with 4 people.

Try searching the Val D'isere Agence website here - they have tonnes of self-catering accommodation, I'd search for something that can (supposedly) accommodate 6 people though, meaning it's okay for 4 but crowded for 6, so you avoid the rabbit hutches

roga, nice one cheers for that link. These places look ok, a bit small, but cheap. We want to be within spitting distance of a well stocked supermarket for easy purchasing of supplies+beer  how far are they from the nearest supermarche? (see map)

From that map link I'm pretty sure there's a SPAR just on the corner of grid ref A/B-5/6 (if that makes sense!)

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

^ Yup, I think that's about right for where the SPAR is.
hd, the link to the accommodation doesn't work, it just goes to the main search page.

roga, hmmm can't get it to display the page I want  , anyway it's a 48m2 mezzanine apartment in Chalet Le Val Village. Pics here.
Can anyone identify on the map where the other big supermarkets in Val are situated please?

You know it makes sense.

Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:

There must be 3 supermarkets within 200m of your apartment, you will not have a problem in finding them, but would advise stopping off in Bourg St Maurice en route to Val to do a big shop before you get there.....

Out of interest (and no I won't book it  ) how much is it? |
About 1100 euros/week. Only one bedroom plus two beds on the mezzanine balcony I think. No big deal for one of us to be sleeping in the lounge - we've done it many times before.

^ yeah, having two bedrooms is more of an issue for us because we have kids, not such a hassle with adults eh!
