Bourg-Saint-Maurice

Supermarket in the Le Mollard commercial zone on the edge of Bourg, right next door to Super U.

Full shop with butcher, fishmonger and bakery counters, plus a cash machine, launderette, drive collection and a 24-hour petrol station.

Open Monday to Saturday and open Sunday mornings.

Fresh-food market in the Jardins de Rochefort zone on the Avenue du Stade, a few hundred metres from Super U and Intermarché.

Produce, butcher, fishmonger, traiteur and cheese counters, with staff on each - much better than a supermarket for the fresh side of a shop. But it's fresh only: no alcohol, no tins, none of the store-cupboard basics, so plan a second stop next door.

Order ahead and collect with fresh & collect.

Petrol station at the Super U on the Route des Arcs, in the commercial zone on the edge of Bourg.

The obvious fill-up on the way up to the resorts - same stop as the big shop, with Intermarché next door.

Pumps are usually available around the clock by card even when the shop is shut.

Licensed Bourg-Saint-Maurice taxi firm.

4x4s on new snow tyres every winter, drivers used to mountain roads, and child seats or boosters if you ask when booking.

Up to five passengers per car.

Also does airport transfers to and from Geneva, Lyon and Chambéry, and runs a second base at Moûtiers station for the 3 Vallées.

The big one - at the edge of town between Intermarché and Super U, with 250 free parking spaces.

The largest sports shop in the Haute Tarentaise: ski, snowboard, touring, alpinism and via ferrata rental, a full retail floor of the major brands, and a workshop for ski servicing.

Open daily; Sunday mornings only.

Decathlon in the retail park on the edge of Bourg, next to the supermarkets and Intersport.

Ski, hiking, bike and general sports kit at Decathlon prices - the cheap end of the market for gloves, base layers, goggles and the things you forgot to pack.

Equipment rental and a repair workshop on site, and they'll buy back used gear.

Café-restaurant and coworking space on the Avenue du Centenaire in Bourg.

Seasonal, creative cooking through the day, from a proper breakfast to lunch, in a relaxed room where people also come to work.

Fast broadband, bookable desks and private meeting rooms.

They also run events, from lunchtime yoga to exhibitions and evening talks, and rent out kit like MacBooks if yours dies.

The town's tennis club, in the leisure area on the edge of Bourg. Six outdoor courts, two floodlit, plus an indoor court at the school gym, which is the one that matters in winter. Coaching available.

Contact ahead: it's a members' club, so visitor court hire depends on availability.

The valley's public swimming pool, on the Rue Saint Jean in Bourg, with parking outside and mountain views from the water.

Two indoor pools: a 25m four-lane pool and a shallow learner pool, with aquagym, aquabike and circuit training classes, and a children's swimming school on Wednesdays.
