Pros
A brilliant nightlife in France. Everybody talks English. Comfortable access to both Val d’Isre and Tignes collectively known as the the Espace Killy skiing area. It has lots of cars and though there are frequent buses in the day, devoted party animmals had better head to be within a short distance from the town centre.
Cons
Expensive. Frantic and very popular with English holiday makers, thus not for holiday makers seeking a classic French town to savour a relaxing ski holiday. Several ski lifts can shut in stormy conditions. A few challenging blue and green pistes.
