In a nutshell
Try it and you will go back
"You Must Take The Funicular!"
tetonski1 Says: I know I am an American; however, we have no funicular's in America. This is a wonderful experience, and if you travel her you must try this. Basically you enter a train that travels upward at a high rate of speed through the tunnel in the mountain and heads to the top.A...
SirLaughalot Says: After a days Sking and almost Ski to the door you can get yourself a Grande Marnier Hot Chocolate and a stool/chair to purch on.It does not sound much but after a day on the slopes it is Heaven, or I hope heaven is better because it is very good.Not sure on price, you will...
The way down the Col de l'Iseran
bicycle_girl Says: The way down, like a lot of descents from mountain passes is extremely scenic and mind blowing... Make sure you stop often and take pictures...
bicycle_girl Says: On top of Col de l'Iseran, not too much, no Mc Donald or anything that kind. Just lots of mountains and a sign saying that I have just climbed for 50 km from Bourg St-Maurice.
Leaving Val d'Isere for the climb of Iseran
bicycle_girl Says: You will have open views over the mountains, the last few houses from Val d'Isere and all the glaciers you want... It is very pretty and well worth the detour...
bicycle_girl Says: The reservoir offers great photo opportunity to contrast with the mountains and hanging glaciers. Worth a visit.
Bourg St-Maurice to Val D'Isere
bicycle_girl Says: The ride from Bourg St- Maurice is nothing else than all uphill, but all doable. You will keep your eyes on the mountains around and it will prevent you from thinking that your thighs are burning... No worries, it's all good for ya!
"Inn built for the Olympics at the historic base'
tetonski1 Says: Wonderful rooms in a private inn in the historically renovated base for the Olympics. These building were built like the historic buildings that would have been here in the past. Meant to house the Olympians, now they offer charm and a feeling of the past . When I look out...
le ski: Ski Holidays made Simple
Wormily Says: Catered chalets in the French Alps. You get to stay with other travellers & unwind with unlimited wine at dinner time.
Toit Du Monde: 15 Euros for a hot-tub & champagne cocktail
Wormily Says: I heard that this place is awesome. We only ever drank there but the interior is decorated in a himalayan theme & has a great ambience. You can book a soak in the hot tub & they provide the shorts, T-shirt & towell so you don't have to carry yours around skiing!
The Melting Pot: Hot curry & a VB
Wormily Says: Hidden in an arcade in central Val. This is the spot to meet friends & get a good feed before bar hopping. English speaking staff know all the places to go later. Curry of the day. Hot Hot Hot!
SirLaughalot Says: Overpriced and rubbish Music. Totally overrated school disco. (IMO).There are other better and cheaper places eg a place just off the main road with better music and prices.Enjoy.xx
Wormily Says: In europe they drink often. Stopping for a break from skiing usually involves a "vin chaud" which usually leads to another & then no more skiing....hey, you're on holiday!We were stopping for a vin chaud at the Folie Douce & ended up in an impromptu dance party - hair salon...
Make sure the roads are open...
bicycle_girl Says: When you plan on going up the mountain passes of the Alps, make sure you know if the road is open! If you are travelling at the end of May or early June, the pass might be closed from the winter. Also make sure that you are ready for snow and foul weather. In this case, I...
adamofgrayskull Says: Snowboarding! Says it all really!!!!! It's so cliched, but it's excellent for experts and beginners, who just wanna learn. I spent time teaching skiiers the true art form on the snow and found that it was good for those wanting to learn. Problem is the snow ain't the best...
"Sit back and enjoy the hard trip down"
tetonski1 Says: After making it to the bottom, sit back with a nice glass of French wine and let the sun fill you with warmth!
