Best resort in France for off-piste, powder
I'm spending a week in France from Feb 7 and thought someone might be
able to tell me the best resort to ski (I'm advance, my girlfriend's intermediate). Don't really care about nightlife, more interested in good terrrain/snow and reasonable prices. Kinda tossing up Meribel, Tignes, Chamonix and Alpe D'Huez.... Rick. |

Best resort in France for off-piste, powder
Hi,
In response to your newsgroup posting.... If you are looking for the best skiing in France try Tignes. Tignes is at 2100m so is higher than almost all other European resorts so it is as close to a snowsure resort as you can get. Linked with Val D'Isere to form the Espace Killy it also offers a huge area and some of the best skiing in the Alps both on and off piste. I am biased because I run a chalet in Tignes but don't take my word for it have a look at the Ski Club of Great Britain opinion at http://www.skiclub.co.uk/skiclub/dir...ts/default.asp and select Tignes from the resort list. We have a fabulous chalet in Tignes and would be happy to welcome you. It is 40m from the nearest lift and only 5 minutes walk from the centre of town. Please see www.snowstarholidays.com for more details. Thanks, Richard. SNOWSTAR Holidays Phone/Fax: 020 8686 6610 web: www.snowstarholidays.com "Rick" wrote in message om...

Sorry....didn't mean to overdo it! Does anyone remember a show on BBC TV called 'Big Train'. There is this German guy. Whenever someone tells him where they are going, for exmaple someone picks him up on the M1 going North to Manchester the German guy says "Manchester's **** man, you want to go to Munich, Munich is great, much better than Manchester." I kind of feel like that with Tignes now :-) |
