 Poster: A snowHead
|
Whilst looking at a map of the Tarentaise valley I noticed several small resorts marked that I hadn't noticed before, I guess most are small villages that have a couple of drag lifts, as in my link below.
My question: is there a book / guide (in English) that lists all these 'resorts'?

cool sites, will help me see the proximity in real terms and to plan trips.
I fancy a few smaller places to explore.
Thanks Haggis_Trap,

Libertine, luigi, Steinach. Just under the motorway for the Brennerpass. When I was there it had 5 lifts, a night toboggan run and a really great fasching week! Lots of interesting off piste tree skiing from those 5 runs. It's also the home of Heini Messner the great olympic skier and all round nice guy.  No TOs, hardly any tourists ....

so long as it is not too early or late season becuase this is near geneva and quite low down - go to La Clusaz ski region. it is a little gem of a place and not well known. will give you everything you are looking for and 45 mins from geneva airport to boot.

Valloire, big enough to be interesting, small enough to get to know with friendly french locals

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

Valmorel, Valloire and La Clusaz are not exactly "small". They're in the Crystal brochure, for goodness' sake! How much more mainstream can you get. The OP was thinking about the sort of place that many experienced Alp-bashers would never have heard of.
