For those of you that were at EoSB 2006, Olivier who is now the proprietor of the Tandem bar in Chantel, was then the manager of the Red Fox. He remembered the name "Snowheads" straight away and now has some  s stickers on his door |
Does he do discount?

rob@rar, I think they may be struggling (especially now the French have arrived  ) and we felt they needed support (direct answer is "No" but I suspect that if he gets enough custom from us then "Yes" would become more likely.

Sadly I think that's probably true. The previous tenants of that cafe kept it going for 2 or 3 seasons before closing. The French self-catering market doesn't seem to spend any money in resort other than lift passes.

rob@rar, must admit that, once we had got that close, we repaired to your apartment and our own drinks. It's strange, I'm not usually a cheapskate about such things - normally I love having mountain lunches and drinks - guess it must be because your apartment is so comfy and convenient.

Hurtle, yes, I confess to not spending much time doing mountain lunches or apres ski stuff when in Les Arcs (mainly because being there so often would lead to (a) bankruptcy and (b) liver damage).

Yup, that's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it. And in any case that was taken in Tignes

If you want to read about snow conditions right now come over to the Les Arcs thread in snow conditions section. Still great today. Any snowheads fancy meeting up PM me or post on other thread. You can also visit my facebook page to see pics of current conditions.

genepi I'd always associated Lammergeiers with the Pyrenees, but I see that article says they have been re-introduced to the Alps.

Always good to have a souvenir, not matter how unorthodox

Yoda, They have indeed. I've only seen one, but I have it on good authority that there are 2 breeding pairs in the Vanoise National Park in Peisey. They're quite impressive to see

I've just found a suitable web-site with pictures and suspect that it may have been a Honey Buzzard actually
|
|
|

I think it might have been one of these (on closer inspection, Honey Buzzard too small)

trying to post some pics but may take some time until I work it out! Had very nice carry out pizzas from the Tandem Bar. However the trip back to the apartment was interesting - involving sliding on my behind part of the way.

ruthie, the red under Derby (?Bellette) always seemed much more pleasant than the parallel blue because it was less crowded. genepi recommended taking the right fork off the red called Rhodos on the last-but-one day but we never got round to trying it. Hope the G&T are up to standard

Rhodos, or the 'roller run' is normally very quiet, and one of the last to get tracked when there's been a dump.
At the bottom.... across Maitaz, over the field and through the 'rat run'. Good fun.

ruthie, glad you had a great time.
If you're driving down the mountain, put your chains on in the garage otherwise you may not get up the slope from the apartment block.
Who's the next tenant rob@rar?
