La Chouette
Located in the heart of Les Bruyeres. Tel: 04 79 00 21 26
Specialist creperie who also do Savoyade specialities and a 'Plat du Jour' (dish of the day). Fantastic Crepes (thin pancakes with sweet fillings) and gallettes (savoury thin pancakes) and the best Tartiflette we can find anywhere. The dish of the day is reliably delicious and exceptional value. This is a family run restaurant - the owner and his wife and daughter work all hours throughout the season and always extend a warm welcome. Booking (on the day) recommended and essential on Thursdays and Fridays.

Le Réfuge
Located in Les Bruyeres. Tel: 04 79 01 03 37
Very small restaurant which specializes in Bruschetta and is very good at it. Great for a delicious, low cost meal without any fuss.

'Circuitos' já feitos... 3 - Blue pistes - shy intermediates/adventurous beginners

A gentle cruise to Val Thorens
(Blue pistes - shy intermediates/adventurous beginners)

From Reberty take the Bruyeres gondola to the top. Follow the Mont de la Chambre piste to the top of the Montaulever drag lift, then follow the signpost toward Val Thorens.
Enjoy skiing around Val Thorens - there are a lot of wide, gentle pistes both through and around the resort (try the area around the Moraine chair lift).
There are two ways to return.
The recommended option is to take the 3 Vallees 1 chairlift (alternatively take the Plein Sud chairlift) then take the 3 Vallees 2 chairlift to the top (a new funitel should be open for this season that takes you to about the same place). Follow the Mont de la Chambre piste directly back to Reberty.
Alternatively, you can take Boulevard Cumin to the bottom of the Doron chairlift. Sometimes, the top part Boulevard Cumin has a poor surface and the bottom part is a long flattish path. At the end of the afternoon there is also often a queue for the Doron chair.

Mais umas cenas...

Activities other than skiing.

There are lots of activities for after skiing if you still have the energy.

The swimming pool in Les Bruyeres is open every day except Saturday from 2.30pm until 7.30pm. The water is very warm and so are the changing rooms, so don't be scared about being in the open air - it really is quite nice swimming amongst the snow!

The ice rink in Les Bruyeres is also open every day except Saturday from 4.30pm until 8.30pm.

Espace Tonic in Les Bruyeres has a sauna, steam room, sunbeds and gym and is accessed via the Intersport shop (turn immediately left at the bottom of the steps from the footbridge) and is open every day.

The Chalet Du Capricorn (health club) in La Croisette has the same facilities plus a Jacuzzi and offers massages and beauty treatments.

For a bit of silliness on rubber rings try Lugeland, situated between La Croisette and Preyerand - open in the evenings as well as daytime.

If you fancy a more adult kind of diversion, try the snow scooters. Trips are organised from La Croisette every evening after the pistes have closed.

Ski School.The ESF still have pretty much a monopoly; lessons can be booked at the Tourist Office in Reberty. Mountain guides are also available for off-piste skiing.
Equipment rental. We recommend Absolu Sports in Reberty. They are very helpful, friendly and have a good range of equipment to suit all standards of skier. It's also the nearest rental shop to the apartment.

Navettes. Shuttle buses run every few minutes between Reberty and La Croisette. There is a bus stop just at the roadside by Coryles.

What's On? The Bouquetin what's on guide is distributed weekly and available in supermarkets and at the Tourist Office.

Radio station. The Belleville Valley has a radio station on 101fm - actually a tailored version of Europe 2 - which broadcasts pop music and gives details of what's on in Les Menuires, Val Thorens and St. Martin. There's also a daily weather forecast in English.

Cenas que descobri...

Market. Market days are Wednesday and Friday. You will find a good selection of regional produce - cheeses, salami style sausages and dried hams - as well as good value winter clothing, particularly fleeces.

ACORDEM

Temos malta nova envolvida no projecto (até já trataram do Táxi - Ué?), e esta cena continua murcha.
Caso não tenham reparado, hoje é dia 6 de Janeiro. Não. Quero lá saber dos Reis....
FALTA SÓ 2 MESES!!!!

Se descontarmos os fins-de-semana, porque significam rambóia (podem tirar 16 dias), e o Carnaval (podem tirar a terça feira de folia e a segunda que deve ser ponte) já só faltam 40 dias.
