 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
Booked flights now looking for apartment. We stayed in 1800 last year and liked the ski in ski out convenience. I have noticed that apartments are a bit cheaper to rent in Vallandry and am wondering what the advantages, disadvantages would be of staying there instead. We only require a few shops, restaurants and a bar or two.

Not a huge amount of difference IMO. The snow on the final bit of the runs to Vallandry can be a bit icy or patchy if conditions are marginal, but mid-Feb you shouldn't have any problems in a typical season. It's a bit further from the centre of the Les Arcs domain, so not so convenient to pop back to your apartment if you need to during the day. Conversely, it's a bit closer to the link to La Plagne than 1800 is if you want to pop over the Vanoise Express for a day or two.

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

Took me no more than about 25 minutes back to plan-peisey (a bit beyond vallandry) even at the furthest points away from it in Les arcs (ignoring villaroger) - so top of mont blanc piste or comborciere lift, or reservoir piste - it's really not hard to pop back at all...provided that your accommodation is easy to ski/out in the village itself.
If I get it finished this weekend then i'll have a big TR written up for Plan-peisey / vallandry which may be of interest..

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

We've stayed in Vallandry for the last 4 years - personally I love it as it is a quieter family resort.
There IS only a bar or two and a couple of restaurants
One smallish Sherpa, Bakers and Deli
Is easy to get to and from rest of Les Arcs domain

That's exactly the impression I got as a Paradiski newbie this year. I did like the look/feel of Vallandry, though.
