Saint Lary Soulan - by Julian from United Kingdom - 2007-09-23
Saint Lary Soulan is just great! There is a definate lack of 'decent' hotel accom' which keeps the large ski tour operators out (I am sure this is done for this very reason!) Best thing is to self cater, I self cater a lovely apartment in the village, and its a 5 minute walk through the town to the ski lift up to 1700. The village is quaint and really nice all round.
