Ski & Snowboard
Skiing and snowboarding holidays: where to go, when to go and how to choose the right resort, from snow-sure high-altitude resorts to family-friendly slopes and lively après-ski towns.
This is a section I'm building up myself, because there's nothing better than the air up there and the rush of coming down the mountain any way you like. If you run a ski or snowboard resource or service, or have something original to share, get in touch. We're happy to feature good, genuine content.

I recently had the pleasure of skiing with Alan in the three valleys France or le trois vallés.
Three main resorts make up the area Courchevel 1850, Val Thorens and Meribel.
There are other places to stay but the key is just to be close inside the area consisting of these 3 valleys as it has an extensive network of lifts and a good variety of runs. You can do all three in a day easily. The lift pass for a week is more for all the valleys but is worth it, if you were a beginner you might not get the value from it however I would still recommend you get it if money isnt tight. It also looks ideal if you are wanting to learn to ski having some really forgiving easy runs.
We stayed in chalet Ecrasé in the largest of the resorts Courcheval 1850 which sits west of the central Merribal valley and then east of Meribel is val Torens and les Menuires.
