I have to say if I were going back to the 3V I'd just head for VT. We
found Meribel and Courcheval crowded and expensive, whereas VT always
pleases.

That's the one valley (of the original three) that I haven't stayed
in. Useful, ta.

OTOH, Les Menuires is improving fast these days, and Saint-Martin de
Belleville is just a nice place to be.

In fact I'll be heading over there from tomorrow for a quick visit :-)

Also planning to try out the gondola link from Orelle, which gives you
back-door access to VT without the long drive up. Plus free parking and more
skiing nearby in Val Cenis/Bonneval, Valfréjus, Valloire/Valmeinier, etc.

Lots more options than most people realise, in fact... we've reviewed some
of these and will be adding the others shortly.
