Need a bit of help as usually ski in Austria. Want to try France this year, driving from the UK over via the Eurotunnel.
Have been looking at various resorts - we are 4th time skiers, hubby more confident than me. I enjoy nice blues/easy reds.
What resorts would you recommend? Ideally would like:
Ski in/out
Few restaurants/bars (will be taking food) as looking to book via homeaway.co.uk or ownersdirect.
Parking facilities
No bunk beds!
So far I've looked at La Plagne, Belle Plagne, Alpe D'Huez & Courchevel.
Any advice is welcome as total newbies to skiing in France.
Thanks

Flaine Montsoleil might fit your needs. Newer French resort developments tend to have bedrooms, and less bunks. It's also a bit closer to the Channel ports, so a shorter drive.

Tignes - We stay in La Vanoise in Val Claret. Nothing too fancy, but very good value, and couldn't be closer to the slopes.

La Tania is a superb base for 3V skiing with plethora of blue runs in Courchevel and Meribel valleys plus 2 lovely home runs.

Have a look at the Aravis area incorporating Le Grand bornand-La Clusaz-Manigod or over the other side of the motorway valley to the Porte du solieu, easy drive and nice french resorts.
