I have a free day ticket to any resort in Espace Olympic Savoie.
Based near Aime the whole of the area is available to me.
Where would snowHeads suggest I head for the day? (Not LA or LP  )

Which resort have you not visited before? We did a day trip to Courchevel on our last La Plagne visit. We were staying in Champagny, and had a car, so it was quicker to go there than go over to the Vanoise Express . We parked at Le Praz I think, and made it as far as Meribel.

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

boredsurfin, The obvious choice would be too hideous for you to contemplate  La Rosiere and a trip to La Rascard for Lunch in La Thuile
Other than that, St Martin de Bellville, Ski La Masse, and have a trip to VT and gaze lovingly at L'Oxalys. You can buy a daily Bellville Valley pass (I think).

boredsurfin, Is St.Foy on the ticket? If it is, or isn't, it's still worth going.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Is Pralognan on the list? It was two or three years ago, but then seemed to disappear from my freebie ticket. Apparently you can also ski for just 10 Euros for a day ticket in the Tarentaise or Trois Vallees resorts if you have (a minimum of) a six-day ticket from one of them, although I've yet to put that to the test.

Nicked from the Val D'Isere website:
Espace Killy passes are valid throughout the Val d'Isère and Tignes areas depending on snowcover and only when the two resorts are linked. During special periods displayed at ticket office, for the duration of your pass and for 10 €, Espace Killy lift passes valid from 5 days and more allow skiers :
- a day in Paradiski
- a day into "The 3 vallées" area
- Reduced price of day ski lift pass for San Bernardo (La Rosiere) & Sainte Foy: €22.5 (per day) with your sales receipt.
These bonuses are valid from 22/12/2007 to 20/04/2008 when the entire area is open.
I'd imagine the benefits are reciprocal throughout the participating resorts.

Senior citizen discount?

Boredsurfing, I have heard that La Rascard is not what it used to be. Try Lo Reindet on red 7 instead
