Today we went to a resort at the base of the three valleys ski area called Brides Les Bains. The resort is in the valley but a long bubble lift takes you up into Meribel via Les Allues and Le Raffort. The lift takes 30 minutes from the BLB but is far quicker than driving.
The resort is a spa town and was busier than we expected with quite a few brits. The resort has some good bars and restaurants and we stayed in a dumpy two star because we couldn't get into the nice five star we wanted to visit.
We arrived by 9.30 am, and then went up to Meribel. We had forgotten how great this resort is and we (Fifi, Russ & Me) took a trip over to Courcheval for some slopes and a bite of lunch.
Lynne stayed down with Heather for the morning and then came up at 2PM to meet Russ who then took Lynne for a ski. Lynne found the busy resort a bit off putting which was a shame.
After going back to BLB, we went for a drinkie at the five star we could get into and then for a fondu in the hotel Le Hermittage, which was very good.
