Wanderer wrote:I'd like to give a vote for Alpe D'Huez. It may not meet the picturesque criteria but it does have loads of very gentle skiing suitable for the most timid of skiers. Perhaps most importantly, this includes several runs back to base so no tricky, over-crowded resort runs that you tend to encounter in most other resorts. :D

While a few people have mentioned Courcheval, I would have two reservations. Firstly, it tends to be very busy - not something that timid skiers like. Secondly, it is extremely poor value for skiers who will only sample a tiny portion of the resort. In my view, they are better off looking at smaller resorts which will suit their skiing ability and cost them a lot less :wink:

ADH gets my vote too. Even in the satellite villages, like Oz en Oisans, you can always get back by lift, so you can travel around the resort and not just be stuck in one place.
Thay way, should you choose to, you can experience the resort without actually having to ski what my better half used to call "a cliff of death".
