You might find the occassional bar may do something to get you through the doors but as for restaurants we are not big eaters!!!
Looks like its goulash, goulash and goulash for lunch!!!


I think you're right there. For people on a real budget, some places have picnic areas indoors so you can take a picnic with you.

Just a serious note though :roll: we'd talked about hydration and nutrition before, don't starve or dehydrate to save money :lol: blindingly obvious of course :lol:

Hooray, I am quids in having booked Hopfgarten HB with Crystal back last January and prebooked lift passes and skis. It still doesn;t stop my hubby saying my advance booking of several ski holidays a year is an illness and I need treatment for it!!

The question now is should I book with Inghams now for next Jan or wait and see if Sterling strengthens against the euro? Can't see it happening myself, particulary as Ms Merkel and her government have seen the blindingly abvious light and are not planning on printing huge amounts of money!!

any thoughts anyone?!

I go to French resorts on a regular basis and the evening restaurants are not busy, skiers from the local area's will not pay the inflated ski resort prices, so I would guess it is tight now for them so they will have to offer something to entice you to spend some money, the big bucks will be made in the local supermarkets.

I was considering paying for a single domain 3 valleys ski pass as well and then bolting on more explorative days here and there, but if you pay for a 6 day single domain ski pass plus 2 three valleys days you've spent more than you would have done on a 6 day 3 valley pass! I think it's all or nothing.

It's always been that way, and with the valleys so well linked, all intermediates and above need a 3V pass.

Just back from Tignes.
€8.50 (yes that's £8.50!) for 1/2 litre of beer at Grizzly's bar!
Crazy prices out there but make it into a game and do a circuit of Happy Hours. It can be done.
