Val D'
Isere,

On the town
There are plenty of non-ski distractions in Val, such
as trendy shops, cinemas (with films in English),
skating, fitness centres and swimming pools. However the
party and the happy hours start as soon as the lifts
stop. Names like Dicks, G Jays and Banana's will have
many reaching for the Resolve in the morning and
wondering where all their cash has gone. Food is pretty
much 24 hour too, from cooked English, hot dogs and
burgers, Michelin rated French cuisine, Asian and
Japanese delights and 3am
kebabs. |
