Check out La Thuile too.
Stewski. I went to Tignes in January and was very impressed. I'm middling intermediate (happy on blues, reds and pisted blacks, so long as there aren't many bumps!).
I'm gonna guess that they'll say that it's OK for beginners/intermediates, but not much good for anyone else

Sorry, Karolina, I didn't spot that you are going at half term. Risoul may be busy, depending on French half term dates. Italy is usually at UK half term, but check for Italian Carnivale (sp?) dates.

Not many hotels that I know of, I'm afraid. We went self-catered. Kids (then aged about 12 and 10, I think) went with ESF, which was OK.

Risoul is very good for small kids
Help how to stay forward during skiing
Started by User in Ski Chatter, 16 Replies
Dave Mac's idea sounds good. Pole plants work well because they get the weight forwards. The "diving through the door/window" drill works too. Perversely, I sometimes find it easier to get forwards on a steep slope because you ain't skiing it in the back seat...
