Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Courchevel 1850 - on a shoestring ?

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
We are to to C1850 on Sunday - so any thoughts on where to eat cheaply (yeh, yeh,) for lunch (probably self service) and also for Chalet night off, would be really appreciated ? Also the best watering holes; where we can buy a beer without taking out a mortgage, with a relaxed atmosphere but still fun - we're all mid-aged so don't need nightclubs, but don't mind having some music .Toofy Grin

IncogSkiSno, Firstly have a great time. For lunch there is a shopping/leisure centre behind the main Front de Neige called the Furum. Inside is an excellent bakery. One can have a lovely lunch if the weather is fine. Can't help with the rest.

IncogSkiSno, lunch at Arc en Ciel (look for the rainbow on the sign, it's up some steps directly above the toilets !) at the bottom of the Saulire télépherique.

as per the others .... arc en ciel, the forum bakery overlooking the climbing wall and the sandwich window outside of the Kalico restaraunt at the bottom of the forum building on the side of the piste...

bus down to 1650 and go to the bubble bar cheap beer and food plus music some nights and internet if you need it.

Another vote for Kalico and the sandwich shop in the forum. There's a very reasonable (and very nice) place in 1650 for a lunchtime pizza, Le Petite Auberge I think it's called. It's a short walk from the snowfront - walk down the road past the bubble bar and turn right and it's on the left hand side of the road.

The bar of the Hotel Courchneige serves nice vin chaud and reasonably priced hot chocolate considering it's location (directly on the Bellecote piste above 1850) and has lovely leather armchairs/sofas and a big log fire. Great for an end-of-the-day drink before your final run home.

IncogSkiSno, One of the best value mountain resto's: The Grand Lac over in Les Menuires, at the bottom of the Granges chair lift. Salads to die for @ €8. Makes a nice break when skiing to St Martin.

Another one to avoid unless you're loaded is Cap Horn. We effortlessly spent more than EUR150 per head there one lunchtime last week. Glad I wasn't paying!

 So if you're just off somewhere snowy come back and post a snow report of your own and we'll all love you very much

IncogSkiSno, it's in La Tania. It's a nice run down there, choice of a red or a blue (and a green now?) which sweep through the trees.

Bar Le Jump should be okay for a lunchtime visit. It's in 1850 just accross the road from where skiers gather for lessons.

skimottaret, spoo burgers are only just about ok when good. Confused

All, any of the other areas for suggestions ? I'm sure we can easily get to the other areas of Courchevel or La Tania by lunchtime Very Happy

IncogSkiSno for a nice sit down lunch try the place on the top of the Loze link between La Tania/Courchevel and Meribel

Think it's called Roc something or other, might be best to book a table if there are a lot of you. Not cheap but not ridiculous either. Great Carbonara and Omlettes Very Happy

Pub ski lodge http://www.publeskilodge.com/ is a good bet, we saw Superfly now known as The Feeling there when they were the house band ...they were noticeably better than the average at the time Very Happy
Same guy also owns http://www.lodgeduvillage.com/ in Meribel a haunt of Prince Harry (he's not fussy as we know wink )

Le Tovets Hotel (?) in 1850 (to right and just behind the main lifts as you look at them) was fairly reasonable and service good. Mind you Tartiflete was on the pricey side Evil or Very Mad

The sandwiches are large and, for about 5-6€ not bad value.

Haven't been there for years, but the self-service at the top of the Chenus bubble out of 1850 used to be our usual stop for a good value lunch. It may have changed...
