We have been to Flaine and la Rosiere before, but not Vallandry.
Does anyone know how easy it is to access Les Arcs from there? Flaine and la Ros (if you include La Thuile) are both pretty self contained and offer enough skiing for a week in my view.
Decisions, decisions.....
This is first week in April.

Vallandry has very easy access into the whole of the Les Arcs area.
Some delightful reds down to Vallandry/Peisey.
Superb ski school New Generation based at Vallandry.

Just back from La Rosiere last weekend, to be honest I would rather stay in Eucharts to be nearer the tows and to ski back to the chalets. Lots of snow and plenty to do between the two villages. La Thuille looked more spread out and not such a great atmosphere in the village. It's easy to ski between the two countries so better to stay in France. Sorry can't help with the other two resorts.

We stayed in Eucharts last time, though snow wasn't great so trudged in and out rather than skied! It wasn't far though, so I can't complain.

The snow in Eucharts is about 8' high at the side of the footpaths.
We were in Vallandry a few weeks ago - brilliant links to Les Arcs, the schlep over to La Plagne ski area was a pain though despite being only minutes to the Vanoise Express, to actually get into the main area was a pain. Bonus we discovered was as it's in the tree line, following heavy snow fall when most of Les Arcs was closed, most of Peisey-Vallandry was open. Can't really comment on the resort though as we were in a chalet with children so barely went out other than for the snow!
Really easy access to Les Arcs. A chair up, a run down, a cable car and a run and you're in 1850?, 1900? One of them anyway.
I could get back from 1850 to Plan Peisey which is the far side of Vallandray in under 20 minutes.
The skiing the other side of the Vanoise express is nice without having to go as far as La Plagne. I learned to ski in Montchavin and there's good skiing round there without going as far as La Plagne but its still easily doable.
And I've been to La Rosiere and much prefer Vallandray/Peisey.
