Serre Chevalier - any thoughts?

And after smashing the Cucumelle just glide on down the short blue for a 100mtrs to the Restuarant (? Pai) which does great food.

Just looking into ski-passes for the area. When I'm out skiing I don't spend time comparing prices, so I've not really researched this, but have always had the feeling that prices offered in-chalet may not be the best. Add to that any exchange-rate variables (where the cash you have with you may also NOT have been the most cost-effective) and I am quite up for looking at ordering online.

There's a website for this (www.serre-chevalier.com) and the pass would be sent here - to the UK. I've 3 weeks yet - so their turnaround of 7 days should be fine.

A six-day pass is € 199.50 (c.£170) - looks like this would cover the full Serre Chevalier area (4 areas, 13 villages).

How does this compare with prices in Serre Chevalier itself - and has anyone else picked theirs up online to date?

:-o

Its only the currency rate that affects the price here. I've always bought in resort there.
