Lots of Swiss resorts in particular are very popular with sledgers and

Ah. Ta for that. It's been many years since I skied in Switzerland.

You should try it some time - I think you'd be surprised at how
inexpensive it can be - at most resorts it's quite possible to find a
decent half-board hotel for well under a hundred francs a night ( i.e.
less than 40 quid pppn). I know it may not be as cheap as your beloved
Bareges, but it can compare very favourably with the French Alps, IME.
