+
Huge area linked with Tignes, with runs for all
standards
+
Some of the best lift-served off-slope runs in the
world
+
High altitude means snow is more or less guaranteed
+
Wide choice of schools, especially for off-slope
lessons and guiding
+
Wide range of package holidays and accommodation
+
For a high resort, the town is attractive, very
lively at night, and offers a good range of
restaurants
+
Slope grooming and staff attitudes have improved
noticeably
|
–
Slope grading understates the difficulty of many
runs
–
though moguls on greens now uncommon
–
You're quite likely to need the bus at the start or
end of the day
–
Most lifts and slopes are liable to close when the
weather is bad
–
Nursery slopes not ideal - and no easy return run to
the village
–
Crowds on some runs
–
Still some lifts in need of upgrading
–
Seems at times more British than French - especially
in low season
–
Disappointing mountain restaurants
