Booked!

I think Andy is joking, Sm4sh :)
I should think you could manage OK with £20 each per day for lunch and elevenses on the slopes. La Rosiere is a comparatively cheap French resort.

You'll get a big breakfast in the chalet, and then tea and cakes when you come back in, before supper, so you only really need a small lunch.

And if you're excessively budget conscious you could do the same as me and buy a load of cereal bars somewhere cheap in the UK and take them out with you ...

Since French food and drink has become so expensive I've started ski-ing with a rucksack and in the morning I fill my thermos with hot tea in the chalet (so far the staff haven't minded) and it stays hot all day :)

The only snag is the French don't seem at all keen on people having picnics inside (or outside) their cafes so you have to either sit in the snow or eat/drink in the gondolas!

What always amazes me is how much I spend in airports or railway stations so the last few times I've been I've brought a packed lunch with me.

I don't know what the euro is going to do against the pound, but from our point of view it's pretty good at the moment, so I bought £200 worth of euros for my own holiday and got 1.25 euros to the pound. If I use my card for buying stuff abroad I have to pay 2.99% charges on it plus £1 fee so I only use it for paying for big things and I use euros for the small stuff. Mind you, I'm ski-ing for 8 days so I will need more cash than you ...

That's good then I hope we was joking :lol:

We will probably take £400/500 with us so hopefully that will be enough, I remember when we went to Bulgaria I think I spent around £200 and that was eating out and drinking every night. Shame everywhere cant be so cheap. Good idea with the packed lunch I wouldn't have thought of that.

Regarding exchange rates, I have used Travel Premier a couple of times. It always seems to have the best exchange rate around, but you have to exchange over £1500 to get free delivery, else I you wont really be getting any extra out of using it.
I don't plan on taking that much away so wont be using them this time. But if there's a few of you changing money or if your a big spender its a good website

current exchange rate is 1.267 they are offering 1.263

Sm4sh thats a good choice. Great company, Ski Olympic. Good price too. £1000 for the week per person all in is good going, and my usual target budget per trip. Well done, and enjoy.

Thanks, I will. Might have to get down to the chill factor get some practice in
