 Poster: A snowHead
|
quick bit of advice
family trip (me, wife 2 children 6 & 10)
adults intermediate
kids second and third skiing holidays
where should we go for relaxing ski trip from the resorts above (or any others you can advise), skied in les gets last year and enjoyed it, do we go again or try somewhere new?
main aim is to have fun so more dependent on being suitable for kids, and not too expensive.
thanks for looking

wil, haven't been to the middle two you mention but although we have our own place in Les Gets which of course we love we did have an excellent week in Jan 2010 in Montgenevre staying at the apartments mentioned by cockerhoop, which we were very happy with. Enjoyed the resort, generally ended up on the Italian side for lunch most days.

Hmm, not sure there are many other contenders in the same league as Le Corbier. Superdeveloy I suppose.
The skiing is great though. Le Mont Corbier is a separate chalet/club hotel just to one side of the brutalist block of apartments. It is very family/child friendly too.

Montgenevre is definitely worth a visit. Very good ski schools, lots of beginner/intermediate skiing, good choice of accommodation. Le Hameau apartments are very nice and good value out of school hols but do check the other costs too. The lift pass is cheaper than les Gets but not that cheap. I think the free child lift pass only goes up to age 5.
Les Orres would be cheaper than Mongtenevre. I went there a long time ago - 20 yrs! It might be better to go there in a couple of years time when your children are older as it has a lot of reds but not many blues. If you want to go somewhere in the southern alps puy st vincent with Snow Bizz might be a better option.

Montgenevre is great for the family - the kids will love the Monty express luge and the slopes are great for the beginners as they feed so well back to the heart of the resort. Value for money it certainly is...
still space in the Zenith chalet and the apts

Highly recommend Montgenevre, if you can go to France after the 10th March you will avoid the French school holidays.
