Courchevel
Good all-round resort. Miles of groomed piste and natural terrain. An excellent intermediate/advanced resort but expensive. If you're a beginner, save your money and come here when you can fully utilise the whole resort.
ON THE SLOPES Excellent
OFF THE SLOPES Okay, but stuck up
MONEY WISE Hellishly expensive resort. Worth it if you have the cash!
