 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
I've just discovered, with no little horror, that the Altitude festival is running 20-26th March this year, same time as I am there. Has anyone got any experience of said festival? Specifically exactly how much does it disrupt the normal running of things, and how much it encroaches into Mottaret (where I'm staying)?

The festival rotates around various bars and other venues in Meribel so at worst you might have to go to Bar B,C,D or E one night if Bar A is is hosting a gig.
There is also the occasional (perhaps one-off) gig in a mountain-top restaurant.
In common with most people staying in Meribel however, it doesn't go anywhere near Mottaret.

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

Absolutely - you'd hate to have any professional live entertainment ruin your holiday.

albinomountainbadger, narrow your criteria please. Susan Boyle counts as professional live entertainment, and she would certainly put a dent in my holiday enjoyment.

You make a good point.
The bands and comedians involved in both these festivals are top notch though (there are even comedians for the kids) and the Feeling are Three Valleys royalty.
If neither is your cup of tea then you might enjoy the Rastro restaurant in Motarret on a Tuesday - the DJ admits he has been playing the same CD (note singular) for 12 years.

Not completely averse to a bit of mountain entertainment, if we happen across a free gig we might stop and have a nose, but I much prefer to keep plans fluid. After the effort of planning a holiday for 4 blokes, and then planning the day's skiing, I certainly don't want to have to make plans for the evening as well. Chilling out over a drink or 6 in a small friendly place is much more up my strasse, even more so if we just happen upon it. Read about the Rastro and it sounds like it might work, plus I think it's pretty much our local for where were staying (chalet in Le Laitelet). Any other similar bars in Mottaret worth of note?

The Rastro is really the only place of any (ill)repute in Mottaret, despite the music those Tuesdays are famed for nudity and people climbing the walls... The other bars are nice for a quieter drink but it's such a small place (arranged around a simple rectangle) you can wander them with minimal effort until you settle on one you like for the evening.
