Pros
A brilliant night-life in France. Everybody understands English. Easy access to Val d’Isre and Tignes known collectively as the the Espace Killy skiing area. There is lots of traffic and whilst there are many buses during the daytime, committed apres skiers had better head to be within walking distance of the town centre.
Cons
Costly. Frantic and fashionable with the English, so not for people anticipating a classic French resort to savour a calming ski holiday. Many skiing lifts can close in inclement weather. Some hard blue and green slopes.
