Spent 12 seasons in Tignes/Val1d'isere area, you will not find better skiing !! Perhaps the place is a little souless..
You can in most cases ski to your door. Have also skied Avoriaz and the same applies. I found the ski area more varied in Avoriaz as it is well linked in the `Portes du Soleil', possible to ski in three differant countries on one pass, seven towns each having its own charm, you need good snow though. As an outside idea, try Le Deux Alpe, typical alpine town, atmosphere, ...

Les Houches - we went on the spur of the moment last New Year, just jumped in the car and drove down, deciding to head vaguely for Chamonix with no hotel or anything booked. Got to Chamonix on 30th Dec and, suprisingly enough, every where was booked up!

So drove down valley to Argentiere, went into tourist info and got a leaflet of accomodation, walked to first one listed - lady spoke absolutely no English so explained with a combination of very rusty French and sign language - and got a room 200m from ski lift for 23E per night (per room, not pp!!).
Anyway, point of the story was we had a fantastic time there - Les houches itself is a nice quiet place, we spent most nights drinking vin chaud in a bar, but Chamonix is just a free bus ride away if you do want more, and there is plenty of greart skiing all the way up the vally from Argentiere to Les Houches
