The Sun Bar at the base of the Olympique cable car is easy to reach by foot, ski's or snowboard; so doesn’t rule anybody in your party. The best thing about this place is the selection of food and above all the price!
As any visitor to Val d'isere will know, a normal day out there can be quite costly, with a bottle of water regularly reaching 4 Euros. Add that to your food bill and you’re talking about an easily spent 30 to 40 Euros on lunch alone.
We found the Sun Bar on our first day in resort and then went every day for the rest of the holiday!
The food options include some classic French meals like soups and stews, then there are sandwiches and French fries. The salads served here are really great and very fresh.
On average a main meal, a can of coke and a chocolate bar will cost 10 - 12 Euros. There are plenty of seats and tables so plonk yourselves down, and the view of le Face (a terrifying black run)and the nursery slopes offer you an excellent chance to people watch.
I would highly recommend a visit to the Sun bar when in Val!

The best bar/nightclub in town! Yes, it is a little far from the centre, but it isn't called the Grail for nothing; top tunes, champagne, light-up dancefloor, unusually high amounts of decent seating, free clockroom and the all-important stripper poles make it the perfect place to party hard apres-ski style!

Val d'Isere is, in my humble opinion one of the best ski resorts in the world because it has everything. It is part of the Espace Killy, one of the biggest ski areas in the world, so they have runs for everybody. Everytime I've been, six and counting, its been really sunny, if not a little cold.

The village itself also has a great night life, restaurants and shops. It really is a great all round resort. However I did find my last trip in December 2008 a little painful as pound is very weak against the Euro, so get all your kit before you go. The link below should get you started..

Not only are you doing your bit for climate change (which scientists will tell you is the reason for the ever more unreliable snow fall), but you also get to unwind as you journey through the beautiful countryside of France. Plus, you won't get stung by the airlines for taking your equipment with you!

The Campaign for Better Transport are actually running a competition to win coach tickets down to various skiing destinations (including Val D'Isere).

It's a lively, international après-ski bar with young, friendly staff and punters. It's perfectly situated so that after sweeping majestically down the Olympic black run 'The Face' you can wander straight in. And try to explain why you have snow in your hair on a sunny day...
