Whether you see St Anton ski resort as a small town or as a large village, it is a top class resort, with magnificent terrain both on and off piste, matched by a relentless party spirit. Skiing arrived in between the world wars, and is “according to some” the home of alpine skiing. In the [...]

Surely there are few adrenalin rushes like the ones which come from skiing like a Demon because you have to get back to the chairlift to your own resort before it closes, otherwise you have to climb in the chilly shadow of the mountain carrying your gear and dreaming of the pub on the other [...]

Courchevel sits to the left on the piste map and is made up of five key residential centres; Courchevel 1850 is the resorts heartbeat; Courchevel 1550 is a cheaper base feeding directly into 1850; and Courchevel 1650, a calmer alternative on the fringes of the three-valley network.
Courchevel is the most glamorous section of Les Trois [...]

Once again the ski day started late because the draw of some extra sleep was too overwhelming. We finally made the 20 metres walk from the chalet to the piste at around 10am and headed to the Bruyeres lift which would take us to the highest point in Les Menuires (Col de lu Chambre) [...]

Val Thorens ski resort is king of the Three Valleys and as the highest resort in the Alps, Val Thorens can generally guarantee its guests good snow conditions, the only drawback being the complete absence of trees. Val Thorens ski resort is a relatively pretty resort, with many buildings clad in traditional wood. There is [...]

Les Menuires ski resort sits just below Val Thorens in the valley, and provides a more sheltered position than its higher neighbour. Unfortunately much of the buildings in Les Menuires were put up in the 1970’s and unfortunately it’s not the prettiest of resorts. However in recent years, new more sympathetic developments have started to [...]
