I have skied throughout Europe and North America, and the Grand Montet at Argentiere is simply my most favorite ski station in the world. I have skied there 10 times and will keep returning. The skiing from the mid-station on its verticals are endlessly fascinating, interesting and challenging, limited only by one's own imagination and capabilities. I adore the ...

La Thuile, Aosta ****

The small town of La Thuile sits at the bottom of a steep climb up to the main pistes. The slopes next to the upper town are for learners but the travel couriers organise fun nights there as well. We visited with Crystal and had a great night organised by them sliding down on "frying pans" in long snakes of riders. Of course, the booze and food helped. The upper ...

Small area above Vaujany is away from main busy areas of alpe dhuez and provides some lovely long, quiet and well groomed runs easy access to alpe dhuez ski area as long ...

We ski in Champagny every year and love it. It's no longer a must to stay at the top of the village as there is now a shuttle bus linking all parts of the village and there are secure ski lockers at the top of the gondola so you can leave skis at the top all week. Even from the bottom of the village, it's only a 10 minute walk (by the side of a stream) to the shops ...

Dorfgastein, Salzburgerland ***

DorfGastein is a large area that is worth two visits at least, easiest by cab from BadG (bus runs from BadHofGastein). When conditions are good you MUST ski the Graukogel: it is a small area but has the best terrain and is virtually deserted. Some good slopeside off-piste there as well. On the whole the area could do with a couple more black runs; the off-piste ...
