I keep dreaming that someone will one day come to France to make reasonably priced yet decent food on a ski slope...like the burgers you find in Sun Valley in the US... One day... One day... Until then, Val Thorens is as good as it gets.

L'emplacement de la station permet de chausser directement les skis depuis le lieu d'hébergement. L'été une multitude d'activités sportives peuvent être pratiquées, telles que le quad, le parapente ou le canyoning. La station dispose notamment d'un parcours aventure aérien fait de passerelles, ponts, murs d'escalade, idéal pour les accros à l'adrénaline.

I've spent 3 weeks here this season, and feel like I could live here…read more I can't give it a better recommendation. Considered one of the 'snow-sure' resorts, Val d'Isere is more likely to have decent snow coverage than most. It has a variety of terrain to suit all abilities, a lovely town, modern lifts and is pretty easy to get to from Bourg St Maurice. You can't really go wrong with Val d'Isere!

Compared to the French slopes, government budget is obviously not the same in Italy. Everything is very outdated and badly maintained. They slap paint over rust. When there's not a lot of snow then they don't spray snow as there's hardly sprayers. They just close everything down. Waste of money on a ski pass. Very inconvenient connections, lots of walking and you just spend a lot of time on lifts overal as most are slow and old. The buildings and cafeterias are also old but that got its charm. You can also see the leftovers of the Turin Olympic Games in 2006 however quite sad its gone glory. Glad I'm on the French side and I won't waste another day on the Italian side!

Nice Italian ski resort that was part of the Olympic Games in Turin 2006. The prices of food in the…read moreslopes is OK and the price of the ski passes are average. We stayed in a part of Sestriere called Borgata. I can recommend it cause it's a cuter and more genuine part of town. The village of Sestriere is not that pretty unfortunately. Perhaps because of the time when it was originally built to a big ski resort, and perhaps because of the Olympic Games. But the slopes are good! Both for kids, medium and advanced skiers (though advanced skiers will need to use the entire ski system, including neighboring villages). - They should really have wind covers over the chair lifts! And I've had much better food in the Italian Alps than here. + The slopes and the ski system (apart from not being able to get from one system to the other easily)

My sister and I skied in Alpe d'Huez many years ago and we were very pleased to return there with…read moreski friends this year Marketed as the Island in the Sun due to its south-facing aspect, my vivid tan confirms that when the sun comes out, you will be enjoying warm sunshine. However, later in the season, it can get slushy on the lower runs in the afternoon Alpe d'Huez's main asset are its slopes. There's enough to keep to keep the vast majority of skiers of all abilities occupied for a week. The slopes are well laid out with a wealth of green slopes at the base of the main village bowl, allowing beginners to get their confidence up in those early ski weeks near to home. However, for those who fancy more of a challenge, there's the formidable Tunnel run. Yes, you ski through a long tunnel to emerge onto a ledge with a vertigo-inducing drop on one side encouraging you to make the turn before you drop off the side of the mountain! The other famous run in resort is the Sarenne, which is the longest run in the world at 16km. It's marked as a black run on the piste map but you can miss out the steepest part of the run at the beginning and the rest of the run is really mo more than a red run by gradient One other feature in the resort is the chairlift taking skiers over from the main Alpe d'Huez ski area over to the Auris ski area. Nicknamed the Scare Chair by locals, it leads under a concrete tunnel which takes you under the main runway for the airport before diving over a precipitous edge into the Sarenne Gorge before climbing up the other side. With runs leading to satellite villages like Montfrais (powder runs galore), Oz (no sign of the wizard!), Vaujany and the original town of Huez, you can put the travel miles in too We found some fun snow parks and boarder cross courses to have fun in The village is especially well equipped with off-slope activities. There's an outdoor swimming pool, an ice sakting rink (which turns into an ice go karting track on some evenings), a sports centre with indoor swimming pool, a tobaggan slope and an ice driving circuit. There's also night skiing on Thursday evenings when the Signal slopes are floodlit and stay open late The prices at the mountain restaurants were reasonable and we found some nice food on the slopes This is a fantastic resort, which I can highly recommend

SPECTACULAR resort. It is so incredibly large and expansive. The lifts and runs are plentiful --…read moreyou can make one run last 20 minutes without trying -- and the views are stunningly beautiful. You can get to the highest point in the French Alps at this resort and ski to neighboring resorts as well. This is without a doubt my favorite place. There is something for everyone. The only negative I can think of is snow. If the season is not so great, your skiing here will be horrible. I experienced good and bad here, and when it's bad, it's really bad. You'll spend the entire time dodging patches of grass, rocks, and gravel. My skis unfortunately got pretty damaged :(
