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

Onnem, lovely pictures. I have an apartment in France and have visited a fair few places throughout the alps but I have to say that some of the Italian places take a lot of beating.

Lovely old bit, a few ugly appartment blocks near the lifts though. |
Apartment blocks? Are you sure you are thinking of the right place? Tiny village at the top of the Haute Maurienne. One lift out of the village, though more up top?
The old parts of Alagna are very beautiful but not everything is up to that standard and other places have a more beautiful site for the actual village (eg some of the the Dolomites villages). This is an old village above Alagna - I'd vote for it but it isn't used as a ski base.
St Martin de Belleville is certainly a contender.

Yep been twice and really enjoyed the place, lovely old picturesque village with a secondary set up near the lifts which is not horrendous but a bit spoiled by some somewhat dilapidated 70's appartment blocks.

OK - what should "picture postcard pretty ski villages" definitely NOT have? I'd put modern apartment blocks right up there on top of the list - whether or not they are claimed to be built in "Savoyard" (or whatever....) style. Preferably they'd not have cars, either, but I guess that would role out most!

In all honesty probably ski lifts, ugly things.

The ancient village of Bulnes in the Picos de Europa, Spain was only accessible on foot until the built an underground funicular in 2001:
