Truly Great Resorts

Wed, 20 Jun 2012 12:57:26 GMT

Sat here today and was wondering what makes for truly great resorts and then found this on youtube. Cannot think of anywhere more magical summer and winter. Amazing scenery, world class climbing, world class skiing, highest lift accessed vertical in world, decent mountain and road biking. Probably best amenities of any ski resort in world given is proper town. Added to that the unrivaled history of the valley.

Lived and skied all over world and nothing has quite same appeal.

Where else is there?

I haven't been to enough resorts to feel qualified to comment but I did think that Val d'Isere (and Espace Killy) was a fantastic place to go skiing. That is my gold standard at the moment.

Well I'm a big fan of both Val D and Chamonix. Did my first season in Cham in 89/90, loved it so much I stayed for the summer and did all of the above, followed by another winter.

Amazing place.
