Mail for help.Help!!

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 :-)

Warm places to eat packed lunch in 3V

Help! I see we are in for a really cold week -6, feeling like -11. No chance of eating our sarnies in the sun then. Any suggestions for places we can eat our chalet-prepared baguettes, without having to go back to the Chalet (La Tania)?

I was regretting being a cheapskate, but then I realise all those terrace-gourmets are going to be fighting for too few seats indoors at lunchtime on the busiest week of the year! Laughing At least we can munch in a bubble . . . . . .

SuburbanSkier, There is a very large picnic room with tables, chairs, toilets etc. at the top of the gondola that goes up from 1850.

javascript:emoticon('anarchicsaltire,%20') Your link didn't work. It's the wind that does it. Look at http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/snow_forecast_7.asp?resortID=149 which doesn't show the wind-chill effect.

SuburbanSkier, we partook of many an agreeable packed lunch in gondolas at Courchevel last year. To avoid suspicious looks from gondola-mates, we spread lunch out over a few journeys!

That's not cold. I will be in Laax which is looking a little chilly although still not that bad and I think on some days Zermatt was colder at half term last year.

anarchicsaltire, -23? Pah - we only managed -21 last week but there was strong wind as well. Just seen your photos - bit unfair to film mountaingoat when he's down. But well done for doing so! Toofy Grin But why are the two of you sat on the snow?? Confused

Colin B - now that does look a little bit nippy. And Laax is pretty exposed - have you been there before?

cathy, We couldn't see the sign, or stop for long enough for the photo at -33 65kwind and 4/5 AVI and no vis Madeye-Smiley . That was one of the few times he was down, compared to my lots. The picture looks posed but that's how he ended up on the powdery/sugary stuff between pistes where he spends most of his time Toofy Grin . Sitting down for Lunch!

You could always try the Salle Hors Sac (picnic room) in the building at the bottom of the Saulire cable car (top of verdons bubble side), but get there early as tables go quick!..

IIRC, there is a nice undercover picnic area with toilets etc at the bottom of Mount Vallon - called Plan de Mains (I think).

Dunno about 'suspicious' but I do hate people eating smelly food on any kind of transport. But then I'm prone to motion sickness in any moving vehicle, including ski lifts. Picnickers be warned! Laughing

Are there any areas in Val Thorens were you won't get shouted at for having a quick picnic stop?
