Cheers bedrockbarney, it's what I expected, was in L2A again in january, seems to be simialr kind of prices for many things. I'm tempted by the "Les Sorbier" hotel (think that's its name!) but it's B&B only, hence my question about eating out. Not too bothered about drinks prices as can't t\ke it at altitude, half a bottle of wine with dinner and I'm done!
Thanks for the info.

What would you say were typical costs for maybe a large beer, pizza, pasta dish, bottle of wine. Not bothered about fancy pants restaurants, quite happy with low key. I think we're decided on Vd'I but would just like to dot the i's, etc.
Cheers for your help.
Glass of beer was 5 euros (I think it was a half litre glass = 0.9 pints). We tended to head for the Blue Note Bar for apres ski.
We had a couple of meals out but s/c the rest of the week. Bar Jacques was pretty decent and nicely tucked down a side street. Pizza was about 12 euros from memory. Had a half bottle of Bordeaux one night which was 14 euros :shock: Very nice though. We had no change out of 50 euros for a shared starter, two main dishes, a bottle of wine and two espressos. The big showoff restaurant prices were much higher. Pizza from a takeaway was cheaper but not exactly living it up! We did see one youth eating a whole roast chicken outside of the supermarket which was very amusing.
I thought it was a great resort. Not too busy as well but we were there low season.
Up there for thinking, down there for skiing...

Kids go free, flights, accommodation & catered chalet...adults pay 2012 prices or 2013 whichever is the cheaper.
Why? I've skied La Plagne twice before and I remember nice wide gentle blues...which is what the kids & OH need. It's also big enough that I can disappear in the mornings while they're all in ski school.
Who is this with? i'd be interested in that.
Skied: Arinsal, La Plagne, Alpe D'huez, Flaine, Les Arcs, Morzine, Les Gets, Avoriaz, Sauze, Courchevel, Val Thorens

Booked Cervinia for 13th January which is always a quiet week on the slopes. Took up Club Med early booking offer. Looking forward to skiing somewhere that isn't France.
As for a wish list I keep saying I want to go to St Anton so may try and plan a long weekend without children a bit later on in the season.

I would like to venture outside France in 2013, suppose it depends on what I can get for £800 - £1,000 all in.
I am getting the impression after reading a lot of threads on here that the answer will be, "a lot!!"

Jeeez :shock:
Do your family know just how lucky they are to be off skiing?
Just going slightly off topic for 2 minutes:
I was thinking about the price of ski holidays the other day. At one time they were the holiday for the well off (probably back in late 80/early 90). They then became more affordable. However I think they are in danger of approaching that, "holiday for the well off." Especially for those with a family.
