Poster: A snowHead
|
I am organising a budget 'second' week for this year and have been putting together prices for a DIY trip. However, this apartment in Les Deux Alps is difficult to beat for the week we want. Does anyone know this place or stayed there? and if you can let me have any views on the place I'd be grateful
Thanks

Mogs, Not stayed there but can see it from our balcony! Probably okay if you are really, really fit....lots of steps and a long steep walk up a 'mountain'!! :shock. You would have a fantastic view from it though .

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

Mogs, Fine if you drive - bad news if you come by bus or whatever. Too far up the hill. Certainly ski in, ski out, but no shops, restos, bars etc. Newish though.

R32, No Haven't been before. Skied quite a bit in Bulgaria but this is my first time in the Alps. I was hoping to use this trip for lessons and to familiarise myself with the resort for future DIY trips. If all goes well I am hoping to ski more than once a year in future. However....
AxsMan, Thanks for the info. Unfortunataly I've booked now. The intension was to book DIY but this deal was so cheap we couldn't get anywhere near it booking flights, accommodation etc. Maybe I now know why . We will just have to live with it now. Hope it doesn't put me off for the future

AxsMan, That's good news anyway. It may suit us anyway as this trip is on a tight budget we are looking to ski and weren't looking for too many bars/restuarants. That's the plan anyway. But things may change!!

Mogs, You'll find plenty down the hill! (it's just the long walk back up that's the killer )
|

|
|
Mogs, you will have a great time, a bit of a hike will keep you honest
|

You know it makes sense.

rayscoops, AxsMan, Any recommendations on where to eat, oh and where to drink just in case

There are loads really, but i liked The Polar Bear pub (big polar bear outside) which was good for early evening beers with a big open fire in the middle of the room and DVDs of big ski thrills and spills, Lutins where I stayed was also good for a bit of a sundowner beer on the terrace or a late beer with the locals who work on the pistes etc, there is quite a lot at your end of town, after the walk down from the lofty heights

rayscoops, The piccy was taken on an evening I remember well; very cold, very misty, very atmospheric.

Thanks for all the info and the positive comments. The accommodation is only for sleeping anyway but always a worry when you suggest a place for others on the trip, you know what I mean? The resort sounds great. 'Crepes A Go Go' sounds good. I like to mix with the locals when away and not just the tourist bars. Is not being a French speaker much of a problem?

Mogs, "Is not being a French speaker much of a problem?" - not even slightly! (and this is true of just about all the 'big name' French resorts. Not least because most of the bar staff seem to be aussies ).
