Roger Alton traveled there with Ski Beat, concluding that it is ideal for beginners and intermediates. a colossal family resort in the heart of the French Alps, with Col Paradiski also giving access to Les Arcs.</p><p class=More than half of the slopes are blue so ideal for beginners and early intermediates, although there are a good number of difficult reds and blacks.

Our capable hosts were Naomi and Sam who looked after the place and made sure we were all well fed, happy and never unnecessarily thirsty.
