Hi,

Silly question, has anyone been to Tignes lately and noticed if there was a decent 3G signal for data? Most ski resorts I've been too are pretty naff and I end up with just GPRS/2G/whatever the old slow one is called! smile

Just wanted to check as I'm going to have to sort some Internet access when I'm there for work and I'm not sure if it's worth picking up 3G dongle or relying on whatever WiFi hotspots they've got in bars/cafes.

Cheers

Dave

The Alpaka Lodge is a great place to go for a drink (or several) and has free wifi. Watch out for the enormous dogs though hehe

Depends which Tignes though.

Alpaka is in Le Lac, and i confirm the dog is rather large.

Also they do Pukka Pies for €5 each. Two of them for tea several days in a week before now.

As luck would have it we were in le lac, and the Alpaka was very nice indeed!

We spent a couple of evenings in there and did the pub quiz too which was a laugh.

Thanks for the recommendation.
