Pros

A superb apres ski in France. Everybody understands English. Comfortable approach to both Val d’Isre and Tignes known as the the Espace Killy skiing area. It has a lot of vehicles and although there are many buses during the daytime, dedicated party animmals had better aim to be within a short distance from the centre.

Cons

Expensive. Frantic and fashionable with English skiers, so not for those wanting a classic French resort to enjoy a calming vacation. Numerous ski lifts can shut in windy weather conditions. Some hard blue and green pistes.
