Alun Williams,
I thought Sources de Marie was all done and dusted but then I have got confused with all the different phases. Website is http://www.arc1950.com/marie/fullfillement/gb/.
I have an e-mail address of someone who may be able to help you who works for them - he keeps sending me stuff!. Let me know and I will PM you with his details

Alun Williams, when I was there at the end of Jan, most of the outer shell for the Sources de Marie seemed to be in place but the only pic I have is here on the web site - taken 4th Feb.
I am there from 9th April so if its of use, I'll try to take a few snaps on the St Esprit lift that runs up past the development and PM them to you.
Its a pity they moved the web cams as the webcam pics used to be taken from 2000 and gave a much better view of the construction work than the single close up view of the Auberge de Jerome available now.

Bungle, I have just got back and read your post. I hope you reed this before going. It would be great to receive the views from the St Esprit lift and I agree that it is a shame the resort cameras all really are looking the same way now. Last year they viewed out of the village I recall!

Alun Williams, best thing to do is mail arc1950@hmc-hotels.com - HMC are the operator of the first four apartment buildings all of which will be open this summer (three are open at the moment for this winter).
Prices are per apartment with no under occupancy charge so we took a two bed place meant for six for the four of us so we didn't have to use the sofa bed in the living room. Prices are pretty reasonable in the summer (summer 2005 - a large one bed place is from 357€ to 560€ and a large two bed place from 413€ to 763€ all prices per week but pretty much any length of stay is possible).
Although there is a lot of stuff put on in the summer, the place is pretty quiet (all of Les Arcs rather than just 1950) - for example we took a trip on the Vanoise Expresss last week in August and there was only us four and the bloke driving on it on the way back at 2pm in the afternoon but we stayed for a week last year and had a great time - the village will have two (heated) pools this summer and the resort club at 1950 has face painting, panning for gold in the waterfall, story telling, archery and other stuff happening but the main activity centre seems to be the the Club Des Sports at Arc 1800 and 1600 so I would say the fact that you have a car is very good - we went down to 1800 a lot where our kids had a great time - the (heated) swimming pool there is very nice as well and would thoroughly recomend the adventure course for any kids from 6 to about 13 and our 8 year old daughter loved the climbing wall as well.
Also worth taking the lifts to the top of the Aguille Rouge above 2000 for a stunning view - we were there 20th August and it snowed above about 3000m twice overnight - we went to the top the day after in glorious sunshine and had a minor snowball fight - it was -3c (but I braved it in shorts being English) and though Mrs Bungle kept her distance I was glad I did when we got back down to 24c (in the sun) at 1950 about 25 mins later and stripped our six layers off for a swim and a sunbathe - a great and very unusual experience.

Alun Williams, snowHeads will be there in force from April 23rd onwards for the EOSB (see thread in 'Chalets'), and I'll be wandering around getting bored (banned from skiing  ) that week, so I'll take a few photos of the development.

You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

Alun Williams, sorry for the inexcusable delay - was out at 1950 week starting 30th July - here's a few pics I took then - as you can see the concrete shell of the Sources De Marie (sixth building of seven) is pretty much complete.
