bertie bassett, you turn off at Moutiers for the 3Vs, Aime for La Plagne, Bourg for Les Arcs and past Bourg for La Ros, Tignes and Val d'Isere.
Drive time to Meribel or La Tania would be a good 45 mins to an hour quicker than Val or Tignes.

Thanks everyone, I've got to go out now which may clear my head as I'm a bit dizzy with all this info! It sounds great! The La Rosiere option is still a good one but I've just found out there is only one place left in the Spritelets class we wanted to book for the afternoons for the children.  I despair!
It's down to Courchevel then and maybe La Tania, or possibly still La Plagne because I see their Oxygene ski school does a class for 3-4 year olds, I'm just terrified it wouldn't work out (tears, kids don't like it) and then I'd not be able to ski because I'd have nothing to fall back on for the children...
Thanks again for all your views!
Mirjam

Mirjam, La Plagne is the most popular resort in France in terms of visitor numbers, La Rosiere is still comparatively small, visitor numbers are limited by the capacity of the road, long story but as it's a Route Nationale it's maintained by the Govt who've put a limit of 10,000 visitors per week so they don't have to upgrade the road at huge expense. FTS is absolutely right, the 3 biggest resorts in France are in our valley, Val d'Isere, Tignes and Les Arcs, each of which has over 30,000 visitors per week, so Saturday transfer days are a nightmare, they can charge more for accomodation, lift passes etc and as most transfers are on Saturdays the route through Bourg St Maurice is a nightmare. We have our transfers on Sunday and as a small operator we don't have to hang around the airport waiting for a dozen different flights to land, most of our guests travel together, so as soon as they've landed and collected their baggage we can be on our way.

The length of La Rosiere runs is remarkable. I wonder how many pages this one is going to run to.

snowball, the train journey itself sounds very suitable for children but all the bits at the start (getting to St Pancras is a 2.5 hour journey from where I live!!!) and the end would undo any benefits, I think.....

Ah yes. For me St Pancras is 10minutes

Ah, young David, you must be the person they are sending those emails to I keep getting by mistake, saying "Oh my goodness, your p*nis is below average size"

Sunday transfers mean missing a day of ski school, which is why I go for Saturdays (plus you get a day to recover before having to go back to work)

La Rosiere is great, but even I would not recommend the summer skiing for a family

Frosty the Snowman, But you could stay in La Ros and enjoy the Alpine summer and pop over to Tignes or Val d' Isere for the Summer Skiing on their Glaciers
