Which resort in La Plagne

Karen,
Sorry about the spelling. No idea what happened there.

looks like I might actually be on to a winner this time with belle plagne.

Ok so next question.

where did you stay and would you recommend it. Is there anywhere you would avoid?

Also how expensive is it for drinks and eating out. If we are self catering and stay on a slope, technically we can eat in our apartment for lunch saving the expense for eating in a restaurant?Thanks for your repsonse.

La Plagne is the most expensive resort I have experienced. That being said it was my first trip and I was wet behind the ears, maybe there was better value to be had.

I remember 1 bar that charged 7 EUR for everything. Beer 7 EUR, Ciggies 7 EUR, Hanging your jacket up...... 7 EUR :shock:

I found myself eating a warm bagguette on a bench for lunch most days.

Blimey you were hungry :shock:

A packed lunch most days, is the most sensible option. Make restaurant eating a treat, and go back to the apt if you are nearby.

This is why we loved Ruka so much. X country trails invariably led back to cabin so we could eat, warm up and use the loo. Plus all over resorts were camp fires, so you could always have a warm drink, toast your pre-packed lunch on them or carry some sausages or such like and cook on open fire. Saved a fortune and just used the restaurants for nice evening meals out. Mind you it was very, very expensive, but I knew that before I went.

thanks for your replies. I have been looking in the holiday brochure and also diy. i think diy is going to work out cheaper. Have priced some fights on easyjet frmo newcastle to geneva. £270 for flights for 4 of us. is it ok going from this airport? This is the nearest easyjet flies to unless I am willing to travel to london or birmingham which is just not good. Have been looking at sites for airport transfers and it isgoing to cost over £600 return! I think we will hire a car. about £300 even if we just use it there and back and not in between we will save half the money.

Just looking on holiday rentals now for an apartment and i will nearly have it sussed. well at least until next week lol. I am still a bit uneasy about France just because I have never been there before. YOu have to try somethings once though.

Just got to convince hubby to get the plastic card out that he keeps glued in his wallet lol!
