Pros
A brilliant night-life in France. Everyone understands English. Easy access to Val d’Isre and Tignes known as the Espace Killy ski area. There’s a lot of vehicles and though there are many buses in the daytime, committed party animmals had better head to be within a short walking distance of the centre.
Cons
Overpriced. Frantic and very popular with English clientle, and so not for those wanting a typical French resort to relish a calming ski holiday. A lot of lifts can close in windy weather. Several difficult blue and green runs.
