Meribel, Les Allues Village - Ski Blanc Review

Good Points
If you like a small village atmosphere then Les Allues is for you. By the end of the week after a few nights in the one bar La Tsaretta (great music at least twice a week) you will feel like one of the local chalet staff

Bad Points
If you want to fall out of bed onto the slopes then Les Allues is not for you. There is a good free bus service or you can go on the gondola but by the time you have walked to either allow 30-40 minutes to start skiing. But then staying in Les Allues probably saves you £200 a head. If you have teenagers who want to go out on the raz every night Meribel is better for you which makes Les Allues better for we wrinklies ! No late night shouting/singing to keep you awake.

General Comments
Ski Blanc were excellent and their staff are more mature than the young guns who like to work up in Meribel itself. We had 2 excellent Aussie girls in a Chalet of 8. Friends in Meribel (with Crystal- beware !) had a chalet of 10 with one 18 year old lad trying his best to cook for them with limited experience. Yes it is a distance from Meribel but they offered a fantastic bus service collecting us in the evening at any time we liked. If you want a late one in Meribel at Dick's Tea Bar then as long as 4 of you share a taxi back it is reasonable.
