Each to their own.
I probably need to give it another go, it's been a few years since we were last there. To be fair Les Gets was great, superb snow and a lovely place to ski, great off piste. But getting from Morzine to Avoriaz was an absolute pain.
I didn't find Avoriaz worth the hassle to be quite honest. Nor did I think the linked areas in Switzerland were up to much.
It rained quite a bit in Morzine, luckily it only effected the lower slopes and up high the powder was great.
My short list of French areas would be:
3 Valleys
Espace Killy
Alpe D'Huez/Les Deux Alpe/La Grave
Paradiski
Milky Way
Alpe d'Huez was my other choice I love the area. Was looking at nearby towns Bourg d'Oisans and Auris but the ski area just does not compare to P du S (which is, I think, slightly bigger than the 3V).
The 3V are a no no for me I'm afraid, far too expensive, and ugly.
In Tanninges I'd have access to 650 km of P du S in one direction and the
Grand Massif in the other direction. Both about 20 minutes I think.
