Which Resort

Hello

I would be really grateful for some advice.

The two girls we ski with require easy slopes, and I would like a snow sure resort. We have been to Valdesare, Tignes and Corcheval. Corcheval was really good and by far the best as the girls could ski the easy slopes and had a lot of variety.

Question:- Where else could we go which is as good as Corcheval for the girls i.e. lots of easy slopes and is a snow sure high altitude resort.

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Have you thought of somewhere else in the Three Valleys? Meribel, Mottaret or one of the other Courchevel stations.
Les Arcs would be worth a look - great variety!

Have you thought about going further south? We have been really impressed with resorts such as La Joue de Loup, Orcières 1850 and Les Orres - lesser known but all with a good proportion of easy cruising slopes and a much better sunshine record than the northern Alps despite being high altitude.
If you need more mileage combined with the gentle slopes, think about Vars and Risoul. Vars is the better place to stay in our opinion with Risoul being a more purpose built village with package holidays aplenty.
However, our favourite this year was Les Saisies which had the best conditions during our various resort visits in January 2011 - a great family resort with lovely gentle cruises, and the opportunity for high mileage by doing the Espace Diamant circuit (though you'd need a good snow year to best appreciate this).

:lol:
or is that just too metaphysical for a Saturday morning?
:thumbup:
and still begs the question of good resorts for mixed ability groups who seem to enjoy the big terrain areas?
I wonder if Verbier would suit?

Hi

I agree with Andy, 4 Valleys would be ideal, there are wide sunny open sunny slopes in Les Collons ideal for your friends but also has skiing for all levels with over 400km of piste and 100 lifts.

Les Arcs, La Plagne or Alpe d'Huez. In Switzerland, Zermatt has to be in there.

Perhaps the girls could take some lessons to raise their skill level. Then they will be able to enjoy your chosen resort to a greater extent without feeling restricted to beginner/novice slopes?
