Poster: A snowHead
|
We are going to be in Belle Plagne from 14th April, I am after recommendations for a retaurant for the Chalet staff night off (especially one that will serve food at about 6pm - we have struggled with this in the past and if we are getting food any later the girls just get very grumpy and tired).
Also recmmendations for Ski hire shops (I know I asked this in another thread but just in case).
Finally recommendations for private instruction - I am still hoping to be able to book a private lesson near the beginning of the week (though I am hoping given it will be hopefully a quiet week in resort that I will get away with not actually booking until we are there just in case my knee won't work properly making instruction less beneficial).
Thanks for any other info about the resorts / area etc.

we like Le Cheyenne - its a bar too, kind of American Mexican theme. Nice and relaxed with the kids - or were you looking for something more sophisticated? Ice cream comes in plastic molded pots which are aliens, penguins, cows etc...kids like them! Lots of interesting stuff on the walls/ceiling to keep the kids busy too.

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

That sounds great - no not worried about anything sophisticated, the kids love having I screams inside those things.
Thanks!

NickyJ, you're not going to be spoiled for choice in BP itself so if Le Cheyenne suits go for it. It used to go topless and noisy a bit later - - - does that also tick your boxes? (EDIT - or am I getting it mixed up with somewhere else? Senior moment... EDIT 2 - Yes I am wrong - the topless bar is/was Le Saloon))
If I recall correctly there are only 2/3 ski hire places in BP. Nothing special. Branches of chains.
But it's still a good place to be based - especially that late in the season.

We're going out two weeks today. I have a couple of private lessons booked through Reflex, who are apparently very good indeed based on what I have read on here. They're based in 1800 but can meet in the centre I think.

We were in Belle Plagne in Feb.
Ate out at K2 which was nice and had no problem serving us around 18.30.
we got ski hire from Skiset (Belle Plagne Sports II) which was booked through the tour operator who were fine.
I had 3 great private lessons with Oxygene who have a meeting point in Belle Plagne.

Another mention for La Cheyenne - decent portions, good range, good service. Does get busy on chalet staff night off, unsurprisingly.
My preference would be Face du Nord - a smaller restaurant, so you'd need to book early. The food is really good. Nice atmos, too. On the pricey side, though.
Did you manage to sort out the ski hire issue?

I have sent AlpinResorts the details they asked for on Friday, annoyingly they haven't emailed me back to confirm receipt. I will call again tomorrow if I haven't heard just to make sure it is being dealt with. I assume even if they transferred the money on Friday I wouldn't see it in my account until Wednesday?
I haven't booked my new ski hire yet. Trying to decide between the place through AlpinResorts and Sport2000 place through SnowBrainer.
