Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

I really don't understand why Brelin did not make it to this top-20.
It's about to go on the Unesco world heritage list for achitectonical landmarks.

LA PLAGNE, FRANCE
Located in the French department of Savoie, the winter sports resort La Plagne offers 140 miles of ski slopes. The area is made up of several ski villages surrounded by a great number of peaks, including Bellecôte.
Speed skiing, tobogganing and snowmobiling are also offered at La Plagne, so there is no shortage of opportunities to enjoy the mountain!


Speed skiing - not that I know of, maybe they meant Les Arcs that did have a speed skiing piste a while ago.....

The list make SLIGHTLY more sense if you put the emphasis on "mountain" rather than "village". Take the first pick, Tignes - while it does look like someone's picked up part of the Isle of Dogs and dropped it on a mountain the mountain its self is beautiful.

I have to say form resort level I don't think Tignes has particularly attractive scenery by Alpine standards., higher up there are some very impressive vistas but the actual surroundings of Tignes look awful in the summer and white in winter and the shapely peaks you have to go up to view.

The old village of Bonneval is lovely, the new bit around the lift station can match some of the others in architectural bleakness IMV.
Saint Veran is just lovely though I've only seen it in summer.

For many years railed against the French idea of ski accommodation - charge a fortune for a space smaller than the average understairs cupboard, put a pair of bunks in the entrance corridor and a convertible sofa bed which when converted leaves no space to walk around. Sleepers in the entrance bunks can put the kettle on in the small "kitchenette" without getting our of their bunkks and a talented chap could probably pee from bed straight into the loo in the minimalist "bathroom". All sold as an apartment for 4 and not cheap! Thank goodness times have changed but I still pefer accommodation in Austria or Switzerland.

@under a new name, just wondering the same thing by my calculations it's numerous villages (more than I can count) and a large number of towns going from Gstaad in the south west to Meiringen in the North East

Come to that Durnstein isn't in the mountains, the Wachau valley is pleasant and hilly but not mountainous.
