Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

When I ride up the lifts over the beginners area I often wonder how it keeps going as it's a large area with bug all on it.
Try Run black 5 my favourite or red 4 a little used great run.

I would have said the Rascard but the owners have moved to "La Maison de Laurent"..telephone 0165-885100 . As with most restaurants in the town they run a couple of minibuses to get you there.
Very nice people, very nice food.

Avoid the motorway style cafe at the top of the Les Suches gondola, worst pizza we've ever had anywhere... We especially went to Italy for lunch from La Rosiere and had the misfortune to pick this place... I've had better pizza at the services in the UK than we got there...
We were supposed to go to La Raclette on another day from a recommendation but the link was closed due to high winds most of the week, so can't confirm if was any good.

Also I should say the Hot Chocolate in La Thuile was lovely ...

We went to La Thuile during Feb half term in 2011. Very few queues, it must be said.
A much under-rated resort in my view. There's some flattering stuff in the "bowl" between France and Italy, and some more challenging stuff towards La Thuile itself. (Franco Berthod - Black 3 - is quite lively and a near-vertical short black back into the resort gives plenty of scope to wipe out humiliatingly under a large chairlift). There's also plenty of tree-lined runs.
Going back next year, hopefully!

Esdel, Stayed in La Thuile last year and favourite restaurant by far was La Lisse. Very warm and cosy especially if you get at table near the open fire - and fabulous food!

The ski area is huge (especially when you include La Rosière) and there are only a handful of hotels and the Planibel apartments to stay in. Not only that it doesn't attract as many daytrippers as Courmayeur and Pila as it's a longer drive. So as far as I can see it's one of these rare places that is nearly always quiet.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

I like La Thuile it's probably the best place I've ever been to where you can just hammer away at your technique. Huge empty motorways of piste, fast modern lifts and mostly fantastic food. Got the nightlife of a Fenland village with no post office, a closed co-op and a pub that goes silent when you walk in the door 
And the Blacks are blacker than black things . . . definitely worth more than one trip.
I always fancied rather than flying to Italy, train down to BsM, taxi or bus to Seez and then use the lifts to get to La Thuile from La Roz for the vacation trip. Got to be quicker than flight and transfer.

Is it possible to get up to La Ros for Seez via lift?

You know it makes sense.

AlpineAddict, Just outside the town on the road up is Villard Dessus(sp?) with the bottom station. There's a free navette from Seez to it.
