Skiing experience: First time skier (23 years old). Lessons used: 6x3 hour group lessons in the morning (incl. additional 2 hours on the first day). Highlights: Alberto was an excellent ski instructor and helped me to progress from falling over on every green run to successfully completing red runs by the end of the week. He was very knowledge, patient and most importantly he was very fun to spend time with over the week. I thoroughly enjoyed my time skiing and I would definitely recommend going to the Oxygene Ski School if you are a first time skier and are looking for an fun, enjoyable environment whilst also improving your skiing ability.

I visited Tignes with a large group of friends last week - All of which were intermediate/advanced skiers, and when compared to me only having had one lesson at the snow dome prior to flying out, it was safe to say I was a beginner. I met with Tom on my first day of skiing for a private 2.5 hr morning lesson and wasn't expecting to come away as confident as I did. He was so professional, gave great advice and just an all round great teacher/instructor. We started off going down from the half way point of some green runs to assess how easily I could stop and how much control I had etc. Once I felt more confident with stopping/turning we then went down some blues. By the end of the lesson I was parallel skiing going down some fast blues, with Tom right behind me. After the lesson had ended, I rejoined my group of friends and felt confident going down every blue in Tignes / Val D'isere and even ended the holiday on the third day going down 3 red runs. I would 100% recommend a private lesson as you get the instructors full attention and they can really get to work on your technique. Also cant recommend Tom enough - He took me from someone who had never ski'd on real snow before, to going down blues and reds and all from one x 2.5 lesson. Cheers Tom!

Lorenzo was an excellent and fun instructor. I had never snowboarded before and am now able to do most slopes. He met us in St Martin (travelling over from Val Thorens) and was always early. Thank you Lorenzo

High altitude ski resort always has great snow cover. Two main towns to Val claret and tignes le Las also a few other small hamlets, a free bus runs between them all. We always book Val claret as it's nice and compact with good bars shops and restaurants. Le Lac is bigger and has more shops etc also swimming pool. Both have great access to the ski slopes although that depends on your accommodation, you may have a small walk as Val claret is not totally ski to door. The kindergarten in Val claret is excellent but choose your accommodation carefully as you may have a bit of a walk and that's not always easy with small children. Tignes is one of my favourite ski resorts in france
7. Ville Ancienne

Chambery old town is a small area of medieval buildings, mostly houses set amid hidden courtyards and narrow passages. Several of the houses have towers housing spiral staircases - the higher the tower the more important was the family! There are short stretches of the old fortified town walls and some lovely arcades (rue de Boigne). The old town has many bars and restaurants as well as interesting shops, including traditional chocolatiers and cheese mongers. It is well worth a stroll for an hour or so and a drink or meal. If arriving by car, park in one of the big car parks and walk from there.

Reviewed By bardangas - Athens, Greece
Deep 18 x 2 km water reservoir with impressive hills on the west and Aix les Bains the major conurbation with a littoral and a town some kilometres away. Worth taking the time to circumnavigate and enjoy the vistas. Beware of the signs and the narrowing road of the western shore. It has a wild flair and it is meromictic. Plenty of places to stay, bathing and sailing activities allowed.
9. Domaine Skiable de Val Thorens

Official page Val Thorens: the highest resort in Europe (2,300 metres) and the highest point of Les 3 Vallées, the largest ski area in the world (600 kilometres of interconnected ski runs offering doorstep skiing). Created from the imagination of its visionary pioneers in 1971, "it's a resort unlike any other" which carefully plans each new development with an outlook centred on community, sociability, and innovation: Live United.

Visited this resort tens of times in the last 16 years including 2 full seasons. Nowhere in the world compares. Beautiful open scenery, fantastic and varied ski domain and vibrant, varied town. It’s home. The only problem is that it is becoming a victim of it’s own success, growing bigger and bigger and attracting some undesirable and badly behaved groups at certain times of the year who disrespect the mountain and town. No doubt it is very expensive but that’s why we work!

View of the entire Lake Bourget. No entry free and you can see the lake from 3 viewpoints suspended in the air. Nice walk of 1 hour around the viewpoint which is not too difficult. Lots of other walks available too. Access direct by car or bus. A must to do if visiting Aix les Bains.
