Meribel  My least favourite spot in the whole of the 3v (apart from the snowpark which is ace)

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Frosty the Snowman, I agree - I have been to the 3Vs many times and like the area but Meribel is my least favorite of the resorts to stay in - it is just to big, sprawling and lets face it, when in the village, it could be anywhere. OK if you like it cosmopolitan but it just does not do it for me.

SHello, I really enjoy the 3Vs as well and try and go at least once a year. We tend to stay down the valley in Les Allues which is a great village with a couple of bars/restaurants. Also there's the free ski bus up to Meribel if you want a big night out!

Helen Beaumont, the skiing is excellent in the Espace Killy, whatever you might say about the villages (I've never stayed in V d'I). I can see why it might do well.

I like Val d'Isere, and the Espace Killy more generally. World class skiing, some great ski schools and off-piste guides, parts of the resort are very attractive, and a range of apres-ski (it's easy to avoid the large number of young British seasonnaires if you want to - attendance at Dick's isn't compulsory!).

I think a lot of us dislike places which are full of Brits so that list could just as easily be a bottom 5! Val D and Meribel are certainly places I have no particular desire to go to ever again
I do quite like LDA - although there are lots of Brits, it isn't pretentious

I agree with Rob about Val d' sere. Nobody is compelled to socialise with these so called objectionable Brits.

Can't believe Alpe d'huez is listed. Great lay out, generally good snow and top night life.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

They don't define how they decided this, so I suggest it's just where they sold most holidays to!
