Lots of night life. Great runs. Decent mountain restaurants. World cup race courses. Shops. Choice of ski schools and ski hire. Snow sure. Espace Killy.

Also, expensive. Apartments tend to be very small, unless you are amazingly lucky. Not good for beginners, runs are not pisted enough so even blue runs often have mogels. And you risk being terrified by the "experts" bombing around the place.

But if you are a keen skier you'll have a ball.

Tignes is a slighlty lower budget way to ski the same system, particularly if you stay in one of the lower villages. There's a youth hostel in Tignes which is great if you want lots of food and no maid service.

Also, take a look at Les Arcs. Or St Foy.
