My tenth year of multiple visits (new year, Feb half term and Easter) but will be my last. I know what to expect regarding state of pistes and lack of care for them but have got round that by visiting other resorts using Valfrejus as a base. This year I have to comment on the noise and rowdiness of locals in the bars below our apartment until 2am every day and it seems they all have dogs that they allow to roam and deficate all over the place; no exaggeration I viewed 7 dogs one evening whilst standing on my balcony all using the area by the gondola and adjacent to children's play park as a toilet. Their owners get drunk every night, shout and scream which then starts the dogs barking. Bar owners should put a lid on this but they don't care.
