Stay in Tignes if you can't afford Val d'Isere prices

Val d'Isere - Espace Killy is no doubt one of the best ski areas in France but it's expensive to stay there and absolutely full of Brits so horrendous during the UK school holidays. Tignes is part of the same ski area and a lot cheaper. Some great 4-star self-catering at 3-star prices on: http://www.skicollection.co.uk/Ski/Tignes.htm for instance.
