Chalet Marsala - Val d'Isere
Login
Its probably closer to 10 minutes in ski boots with all your kit, although the further into the week you get the easier it is. I can't justify getting the bus for such a short journey.
From the conversations I overheard (not that I'm one for eaves dropping) they usually have wifi but for some reason it had been turned off and they were having to use the internet cafe in the Quiksilver coffee shop.
The slopes were quiet but then it was January. February tends to be a bit of a bun fight until after half term (which I think is when you go). We didn't queue once, brilliant.
You will have a great time :D

Killy sports is a good place, and if you have a few people in your group you get a discount. Also there rental gear is top notch

Sorry, not had much time since I got back from VDI
AS NellyPS says we had a great time (though an extra pillow would have been most welcome!)
Ski Republic were great - had the gear ready for us on the first morning with exactly what we'd asked for. My Dynastar DStinct + were in good condition, sharp etc. Another of our party didnt get on well with his initial skis and they changed them without any problems at all.
definitely worth considering as w end up paying approx £40 each with the 2 for 1 other - a lot better than the £110 that Crystal want!!
Shop is literally at the Yellow Bus Stop at Rond Pont des Pistes so dead easy to get too and from on first / last days

Now only two weeks :D
When you say 5 minutes walk - is this in ski boots with skis etc?
Is there Wifi in the Marsala?
Were the slopes busy?

I believe there is a bus stop (yellow route) at the end of the drive?

The Yellow Bus stop is, indeed, at the end of the drive but it only runs every 15 mins or so (unlike the Red that runs pretty much continuously)
The walk is not too bad but beware icy patches - my wife had her worst fall of the week whilst walking home in boots carrying skis.....
I couldnt get any WiFi in the chalet though lots of bars etc do have it for free (Bananas for one though it doesnt like iPhones...)
