 Poster: A snowHead
|
I've been trawling through the brochures and looking for something that is affordable and snowsure..
I've come across this resort which is within our budget (I didn't think France would be)??
I am an intermediate and my son, 14 will be learning to snow board...
Can you tell me whether the resort is nice (shops etc and other things to do)
We are looking at the 3rd week in Feb next year
Also, can I get to the nursery slopes easily to pick my son up from lessons?
I'm looking at the Petit Prince.

I think it would suit you well. Resort is compact but not pretty, but it does have a heated outdoor pool (free with your lift pass, I think) and sports hall with climbing wall etc., so things for son to do when he's tired of boarding. Good beginners slopes and easy to get to/from ski/board school. Masses of runs for intermediates. One of my favourite resorts, with something for everyone.

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

I really liked ADH when we went before Christmas. Quite a lot of varied terrain and all the areas feel nicely linked. I think it woudl be really good for leaarnign to board - the nursry slopes are in the bowl aroudn the resort and are lovely wide, constant gradient greens. Perfect for learning on. The resort has supprisingly few flat bits which are a pain when you're a learner boaarder.
Very easy to get to the nursery slopes - they are in the centre of the resort.

thanks for your help...I tried the search option but could find nothing on any shops or supermarkets...
I think I'd rather snow sure over pretty booking this far in advance!

Had my first week skiing in AdH. Been there a few times in the summer too for cycling/racing holidays.
When we went skiing we stayed at the Petit Prince. We thought it was fine, food was very good quality, but there wasn't too much of it (think the chef at the time was into nouvelle cuisine!). It's run by a Swedish company called Langley, most staff were Swedish, and I think the guest split was 50/50 Brits + Swedes. We had a great time, even took part in the Swedish quiz night (with translation from other guests).
Lots of shops, ice skating, swimming, and all the usual activities you'd expect.
