No-one correct yet.
(@snowymum, ha ha, good try!)
A wee clue - look carefully and you might be able to make out a piste descending the distant mountain on the far left, in the sun on the right of the foreground piste marker.

It's not Flaine.
OK, time for clue no. 1. The piste in the distance faces north, but most of the other runs in this resort face south.

@AndreSilva, you have to post once you guess correctly the previous entry

@Fridge03 is correct with Passo Tonale. Taken on the red at the bottom right of the piste map, with the black down from the glacier in the distance.
Well done, your turn!

Thank you! It is quite a distinctive ridge line there.
Here you go. Probably will get snapped up quite quick!

Sorry, my bad. I just dug a photo out from an album from a trip many years ago where we stayed in Tignes! Last time I was in the area was about 15 years ago, so I can’t really picture where the photo is taken from. If the experts say it’s Val d’Isere, then I imagine that’s where it is!

@MagSeven, isn’t it from the top of that lift that goes up and over the mountain (Leissieres)?

Just having a look at the piste map... my vague recollection is that it’s from a gondola coming up from Tignes - Toviere? But it was a long time ago! I don’t think it’s the ‘up and over’ chair, as there’s another chairlift that can be seen to the side in the photo. Anyway, not important!
Your photo - Madonna di Campiglio?

@MagSeven, not Madonna di Campiglio. But I suspect it’s an easy one.

Looks like your pic taken from the Cascade lift - the Leissieres lift in the distance?

(btw, I'm 90% certain the Tignes / Val d'Isere photo is taken from the Toviere gondola. The chair lift at the bottom left is the Paquis lift, which crosses the gondola in the bottom right of the photo, and the lift on the other side of the valley is Palafour. Tignes is hidden under the cloud inversion.)

Indeed! Apologies for the confusion! Looks like Tovieres - Tufs or Paquis visible on the left bottom corner
