Pros
A brilliant night-life in the Alps. Everyone understands English. Easy approach to Val d’Isre and Tignes known as the the Espace Killy skiing area which is perfect for skiing holidays. It has a lot of cars and though there are many buses during the day, dedicated party animmals had better aim to be within a short distance of the centre.

Pricy. Hectic and popular with English skiers, and so not for holiday makers seeking a classic French ski town to savour a relaxing holiday. Many lifts can close in inclement conditions. A few tricky blue and green slopes.
