I've not had a problem with the tap water in 12 years but it depends really on your hotel - may be best to play safe!
Trousers and shirts it is for the evenings and unless your heading outsdie ordinary shoes will be fine!

Have a great time - I'm sure you will.

Welcome,

I've been drinking the tap water out here for a while and have had no problems, however if you want bottled just to be safe then there are plenty of places to get it.

As for what to wear if I'm honest then anything goes.

I'm sure you will have the time of your life. Just remember to pack radox if you're staying somewhere that has a bath, and something like deepheat to help the old muscles because you will be using ones you didn't know existed.

I'm sure you will enjoy ...

I'm sure you will enjoy it just as much as everyone else on this forum.

Merry Christmas to you.

Don't bother with bottled water because the water is excellent quality, very pure and clear.

Hi Dumpy,

Dont worry about the water. If its your first time skiing you are not going to be tirsty. You will eat enough snow Very Happy . Thats what happened to me last Jan.
Tap water is always risky (all over the world) so dont take any chances especially when you are on holiday. In the evenings Jeans and a shirt would be ok.

CU Next January

Just drink the Brandy & Hot Chocolate....yes together!

If you're worried about cleaning your teeth then use beer, swallow not spit.
