Denmark Not sure how much help this is, but we went there 2 years ago - unfortunately there wasn't much snow around (or anywhere in France) and several of the runs were closed. Nice resort with some night life and 1800 has good ski-in ski-out. There is sufficient snow-making in the resort to keep you skiing, but usually (so we were told) there is no problem with snow and there is a good deal of off-piste to enjoy. I wouldn't recommend going into Valloire itself as there's a bit of a walk to the far slopes and they were very busy, however the runs between the two resorts were good (considering the conditions) and very quiet. Not much snow-making here but at the top its quite high (and cold) so there was a fair amount of packed pisted runs for a group of varying standards to enjoy. If the snow cover is poor a short drive into and along the valley will take you to Oreilles (sp?) where you can catch the gondola to Val Thorens which has glacier skiing. -- Paul Schofield Time flies like an arrow Fruit flies like a banana |

Unfortuneatly there was absolutely no snow and not a single lift running. We were bussed daily to Val Frejus which I thought was a really nice little ski area. Does any one know what happened to proposed link between Valmeinier and Val Frejus? John |
