Amazing ski destination – whatever you’re looking for, you’ll find it here! From easy, chill slopes to wild, uneven runs. The views of the surrounding mountains are absolutely stunning, and the snow conditions are excellent. I did miss having more trees around, as the landscape is very open and a bit desolate – though some people might actually prefer that. If you’re into partying, the town has some great spots – especially if you’re Danish! Just head to Café Snesko – you’re going to love it.

A very good ski resort. From beginners to advanced skiers, you can find good trails that will suit you. Also a very nice apres ski. Lots of hotels offers ski-in ski-out. Val thorens offers ski options when other ski resorts are already closed for the season.

Val Thorens has a great vibe, there are lots of amazing hotels and bars/restaurants. Shopping is easy with lots of convenience stores and also lots of specialist winter sports stores for all your skiing and snowboarding needs; though be prepared to pay a small (5-10% in my experience) resort premium on purchases here versus high street prices. Internet shopping is clearly the best option before arriving to make sure you get the best prices on equipment. Aside from the great bars and eateries, Val Thorens also has one or two slopes that you can ski and board on. Being a part of 3 Valleys it's a part of the largest ski resort in the world with hundreds of kilometers of groomed slopes. I love the ease of navigating around the resort using the many many lifts. There are runs for all levels, though if you're a complete beginner you may lack variety as there are relatively few green runs compared to other resorts. That being said, there are plenty of blues that are very manageable for beginners. Being at altitude I've found the snow quality and quantity to be better than other resorts in the area, including the 3 Valleys resorts of Courchevel and Meribel. Being lower they can often suffer with either slushy or icy conditions much more so that Val Thorens seems to. Final observation is that Val Thorens is an all ages resort. It doesn't matter if you're a family, young, old, or anywhere in between, Val Thorens has something for everyone, and all coexist peacefully.

The Perfect Destination for Skiing and Relaxation I recently visited this mountain, and I can confidently say it’s a paradise for ski and nature lovers! The area boasts an impressive number of ski slopes, suitable for all levels – from beginners to advanced skiers. The slopes are wide, well-maintained, and offer a safe skiing experience, making every moment on the mountain truly enjoyable. They are impeccably groomed daily, and the snow quality is excellent, no matter the weather. Beyond the slopes, the resort features cozy relaxation areas. The comfortable cabins, cafés with breathtaking views, and heated terraces provide the perfect spot to unwind between ski sessions. Whether you’re passionate about winter sports or just looking for a peaceful retreat in nature, this destination offers the perfect combination of adventure and relaxation. I highly recommend it!

Val Thorens – Where the mountains are majestic and the buildings… aren’t Let’s be honest: Val Thorens is like dating someone with a stunning personality and a questionable wardrobe. The mountains? Absolutely breathtaking. Snow-draped peaks, endless ski runs, and views that make you forget your Wi-Fi password. Nature here is working overtime. And then… there’s the village. The buildings? Imagine 1970s concrete met a ski resort brochure and said, “Let’s do brutalism, but make it beige.” It’s like someone tried to stack shoeboxes in a snowstorm and called it urban planning. Charming? Not exactly. Functional? Sure. Photogenic? Only if you crop aggressively. But hey – you’re not here for the architecture. You’re here to ski, après-ski, and maybe pretend you’re in a Bond film while sipping overpriced vin chaud. And for that, Val Thorens delivers. Just don’t look too hard at the hotel façade on your way down the slope.

Great skiing area. Really enjoyed it. Not pretty in the villages but well makes up for that with the slopes.

At 2350m, snow is not yet an issue. The station is geared towards skiing and cater mainly to an international clientele. British and Dutch mainly. It has the trappings of a small French town with fresh breads, some cafes for drinks and meals but remains a very touristic area. Perfect for skiing. Going to the piste is relatively easy.

one of the most beautiful places I have ever been, they even have a cute bakery and cheese shop and a few restaurants at the top! gorgeous hikes and amazing picnic spots, and the drive was stunning! you won’t regret going

This is a wonderful place! Stunning nature, beautiful color of water, greenery around. It is convenient to come to a picnic and relax by the water. Swimming is forbidden because of underwater currents. The road around the lake is rocky, not any car will pass.

Nice panoramic views. Great place for picnics And relax.

Such an amazing place! Stunning nature where you can breath pure air and also enjoy the fresh air. You can appreciate beautiful landscapes sorrounded by mountains, valleys and glaciers.

It really is a beautiful place with amazing landscapes. between Italy and France You can walk around and come here to eat it’s a must !

Nice

Best trip ever by road...

On the positive side the Grand Hotel Besson has a very nice bar with great alpine views. The mattresses and bed linen was also good quality and notwithstanding delivery issues our food was excellent. Mattresses aside the hotel however had a low standard of accommodation for a 4* rating and price. This included poor noise insulation, outdated bathrooms in need of renovation, no hotel or guest info in room and no personal tea/ coffee making equipment. We also had disturbed sleep until late on three nights due to DJ/ disco including ‪one night until 3:00 am‬ (and our room was relatively far away from the  music). With some notable exceptions in addition there was a generally low level of service for a 4* hotel at this price. This included waiting 45 minutes for food one night, our first three choices of wine not being available and the bar area being completely reserved with no seating for half board guests on 2 nights without being told in advance. Finally we were overcharged extras by over €100 euros at checkout. In summary I’d say it is a hotel with a 4* bar and restaurant supported by at best 3* accommodation and service with some issues we wouldn’t expect in any hotel. Given the above sadly we would not recommend the hotel to others for the price.

Very nice pool and sauna. Recomend for evryone that will go to Sauze d'Oulx to go there even if you are not stayimg in hotel.

We went to the Spa. The place was quite enjoyable, and the people working there also. Highly recommended.

Amazing spa, friendly staff with extras to make the experience even more special!

Great little place, lovely picturesque village, hotel close to centre.

Fabulous place to stay, Great Staff, Brilliant Service

The hotel is four star... What a joke, three stars and that's at best. The good: excellent position, nice(ish) bar area, some good staff. The bad: hotel is very very tired, the breakfast is terrible, the breakfast manager is aggressive, the showers are so small you can't pick up the soap if you drop it, yet the bathrooms are big! As I said, should be downgraded to a three star, if not a two.

If you come by bike, is a hard one of you climb from Saint-Paul-Sur-Ubaye and a long one of you climb from Guillestre. There is a bar/refuge there, with places inside and on the terrace. Lovely spot to enjoy your coffee and rest a little.

The north side is one of the best drives. Great views and good tarmac.

Absolutely amazing place for brookside King unfor is King great place the Alps unique

Super 🤟🤟🤟

Nature is beautiful.

Top

Fantastic place

A stunning French/Italian mountain pass with views to die for on the Italian side. The huge reservoir at the top is crystal clear and fed by several cascading mountain streams. Apart from the wonderful natural scenery there are also some marvellous buildings, old and new, including the wooden church.

Very beautiful road! Altitude 2085 m. The term "Mont Cenis" could be derived from mont des cendres ("mountain of ashes"). According to tradition, following a forest fire, a great quantity of ashes accumulated on the ground, thus the name. The path of ashes was found during the building work of the route.

Nice pass. I got through it from Italy to France. Not dificult to drive. Very good panoramic views

Most beautiful drive! Views all around. Rare to be able to drive above treeline.

Extremely beautiful place and super nice way for a motorbike trip. A bit cold!

Stunning here ,can walk whole time then find good place relax ,feel that nature ,that is comfortable!

Lovely getting the cable cars up to the start point of one of the hikes. Then the hike was glorious.

Great fun and best value for money I have experienced for a long time. Sure you should not be afraid of hights 😉. The via Ferrata was my personal challenge but manageable. Sometimes I felt a little extra leg length would have been helpful ( I am 1.63m) but the last leg was rewarding and much easier than the entrance. However the judgement of a ferrata can be quite personal. I would definitely do it again 😁. Nice and friendly staff.

An amazing experience. We went to Italy for 6 days just to walk the bridge and believe it was worthwhile .The staff were very friendly and helpful. And the bridge itself was very well looked after and felt safe. The views when you walk on the bridge are amazing. Not the sunniest day, but did not distract from the great views. The whole experience is fantastic. Fully recommend it.

This place is quite far away from anyplace and one might pay more for road and tunnel tolls than for the attraction itself but the experience is worth the trouble, just to tick it off the bucket list. Briançon town with its vauban made a good base to be able to reach here early in the day ( they open at 9 am) and Frejus tunnel had no delays at noon to go through after finishing up at the Ponte Tibetano. Coming after 10 am may resulting waiting for long queues of people to pass in front diminishing the view and the enjoyment. The promotional video on the website does not show the slopy loose gravel paths that one has to walk through to reach the bridges. Good hiking shoes recommended. There is a safety briefing at the beginning and one gets to practice how to clip and unclip the double harness to the metal ropes . Minimum height of 120 cm to go on the bridges but preferably over 140 cm to go on the via ferrata which looked indeed tough and we couldnt do as our child was only 130 cm. In any case not suited for anyone with fear of heights or those with balance issues. Clean toilets available near the ticket/reception counter for use at beginning or end of the walk. Large free parking. And the gorge is beautiful and relatively cool even in hot weather.

Great introduction to via ferratta! Very friendly and helpful lstaff we had a fantastic time.

Such a great experience!! At first it seems a bit scary because of the hight but you get used to it in time. The best part is the climbing of the wall. Had so much fun and bested my fear of hights.

un esperienza meravigliosa! impegnativo ma bellissimo è fattibile per molti grazie alle precauzioni e alle misure di sicurezza! Awsome experience! Challenging, but not too difficult. I think many people can do it, also because of the high safety precautions it is not dangerous at all... if you don't suffer heights.

Enjoyed the view while crossing the hanging bridge(s). Too bad we couldn't climb the walls as the weather was bad also going down was a little bit dangerous as the mountain is a little steep. All in all it was a nice experience!

Fantastic fortress built by Vauban from 1693, one of the 12 major Vauban sites listed in 2008 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Behind his pink marble walls, we can see the barracks where the soldiers of Louis XIV lived, the scalable on the pic where they watched, the powder maker, the arsenal where they kept weapons and powder. It is also also an unusual village where 170 inhabitants live, like everyone else, but in an extraordinary setting of southern sun, dazzling snow, silence and stones steeped in history. From the rampart, observe the strategic node of valleys : the Mountains of Queyras with a thousand hikes, the ski resorts of Vars and Risoul, the glaciers of the 4,000m of the Ecrins massif !

So much to see, an incredible fortified town overlooking some great scenery. Friendly staff and plenty to eat/drink in picturesque streets.

Looks amazing but never got in as I ran out of time sussing the place out. What you need to know. There are two parking areas. 1 at the bottom of a hill with a steep climb to the village (round trip 1.25 hrs) the other is at the top with about 10 mins flat walk to the entry point. Neither are well signed from the road. Refer to Google maps for better guidance before setting off.

A beautiful historic town with stunning scenery, lots to see and do. The fortifications, ramparts, church, main street, and cheese making were impressive, and fascinating.

Interesting historic place. Worth visiting. Great location

A bit disappointed, since the reviews were good and the site looks very pretty from a distance. Arrived on Sept 2, on a warm sunny day, in time for a guided tour, but that was unfortunately only in French. You would not expect this at a Unesco site. Lots of signing about craft shops but absolutely nothing was open. I guess they're not interested in sharing it with the public. Very little places to eat, just a few places where you could get some ice cream. Overall, unwelcoming and underwhelming.

Amazing fortress!!! Giving 4/5 becouse I could not solo explore every passageway 😅 There is also a climbing face close and many other activitys

Lovely place with scenic views. Everything shut when we visited.

One of the most underrated ski resorts. It is vast and has everything, from easy routes, to off piste of all kinds: forests, coulours, easy hills just off the main tracks. Lots of ski touring in every valley. La grave just 30 min drive. Ice climbing also reachable by car

Great service from Mr. Fabien ARNAUD! He helped us to find the accommodation, answered all our questions a.s.a.p. and provided us with confidence that, once there, we will be able to ask for and receive assistance if needed. It will be our first time skiing in France and it probably wouldn't happen without the support from Fabien.

Wonderful ski resort with a lot to give... Hope to see you soon... A lot of great slopes, black slopes usually are not groomed and you should be cautious, Luc Alphand is well prepared black amazing slope, red are great, blue is for everyone and there is also green slopes / roads that literally goes thru a village... Amazing breathtaking scenery...

It's a great ski area. Plenty of runs, across the full spectrum of difficulty and terrain, served by a good lift system. The people are friendly, the mountains are high and the food is good.

Wonderful place to go for winter sports! If the weather is good then you can take the télésiège to the top of Serre Chevalier where you can get some amazing pictures. However if the weather is bad, there are many local activities to take part in. In terms of restaurants, there is a large selection of local restaurants from pizzarias to crêperies. At the bottom of the Villeneuve slope there is also an amazing Après-ski restaurant with kind staff members who tell funny jokes! 5 stars from me. Joyeux 80 ans !

One of the best ski resorts in the south Alps. About 250km of ski pist s. Always enough snow, usually nice weather. We will be back dor sure.

Great place to practise water sports .. best for wing / kite / windsurf , canoe , kayak

Great lake for water sports. There is parking on one side of the street only and there is plenty of space to stay near the lake. Pontoons are also available, and there is a supervised pontoon pool in the lake.

MUST SEE!!! What a wonderful lake here. I came here twice. The second time was in Fall season. Wowww the landscape was amazing with beautiful color. There is a story about this lake I would like to share. Long time ago, when the local farms were dry, people out of water. They decided to made the way for the water go through from the Alps to all the local farms there. And on it's way there was a village. People left their village to let the water go through. Now aday when the water is low, we can see the top of the church.

What beautiful lake artificial. Many activities surrounding of the lake.

Beautiful lake

Beautiful colour to this water, sailing, foil boards, gorgeous mountains in the background

So nice

Great experience. Very exciting ride, you just do not know what is coming around the next turn. The ride is rougher and the pressure you feel on the turns is incredible. A great activity at the Olympic venue. It reaches an average speed of 80 km per hour and the ride takes just under two minutes. At the end it is possible to purchase the video - 29€. If you are nearby, do not miss it.

Great experience the staff were also really good I had someone not able to come and they offered a refund if I had a medical cert . Fantastic service..... Sometimes there can be a little wait at the end waiting for a lift up but drastic

90 seconds of great fun. You will feel the speed.

Amazing, proper bucket list item ticked off my list. I first saw this in the mid 90's but was too late in the season to do it then. It's taken me this long to get back here and I wasn't disappointed. Would do it again in a heartbeat! Worth every penny!

Had an awesome experience doing the bobsleigh run. We managed to forget our bag afterwards, but Amandie (we think that’s her name) went above and beyond with her service, dropping it off on her way home to us. Thank you!

Reservations are just an approximation, they don't honor them. They are very poorly organized. Expect delays and sub-par customer service treatment :/ The ride itself is interesting-to-exciting, but very short. However when you get treated so poorly in the beginning it spoils the entire thing. If you choose to go, I'd recommend lowering your expectations and assume you'll wait at least 30-45" past your reservation time.

My husband completed the bob sleigh course and really enjoyed it

Amazing Ski School! Our family have had the best experience with Oxygene. Christelle taught our daughter to ski at 2 years old with both group and private lessons, Now she skis confidently on the blues at 3 years old. Christelle and lea make the ski lessons fun whilst prioritising safety. I had a adult private lesson with Morgan too which helped me rectify a few bad habits. 👏👍🏻

My daughter had 6 private lessons with Guillaume and it did not disappoint. The improvement and progression for her was remarkable with the 1-2-1 coaching. So much so we have booked the same again in April to continue her coaching with the same instructor

I took private lessons with Oxygen and it went very well! Big thank you to the instructor Alex, he helped to increase my confidence in skiing, as I am a beginner. It was the first time for me to go all the way down from the top of the mountain, amazing experience! As a big advantage was the free shuttle from Aime 2000 to the school.

I went skiing for the first time last week so joined the discovery group for 6 lessons. We had a fantastic experience with our ski instructor, François! He was incredibly patient and took the time to explain everything clearly, making sure both myself and my partner felt comfortable every step of the way. His friendly and encouraging approach made the lessons enjoyable, and we both made great progress. Highly recommend François for anyone looking to improve their skiing skills!

My children (14 and 16) had a fantastic week with Pierre in level 3 adults class. He was very enthusiastic and friendly, with perfect English and great teaching skills. The picnic he brought on the last day was highly appreciated by the group. I highly recommend Oxygene and Pierre for lessons in La Plagne

We booked private lessons for our two boys, ages 4 and 7, with Christelle. I was so nervous, particularly about leaving my youngest who can be a handful, but she was so reassuring and immediately had a great rapport with the children. I felt that the children were really safe in her hands. They progressed so much and they absolutely loved her! She also sent me lots of photos and videos of them in their lessons. We will definitely book again with Oxygène if we come back. We will request Christelle!

My first time skiing and I spent a week on the discovery lessons. Fab was a great ski instructor, who gave me the confidence and skills to head onto the slopes on my own. Would highly recommend.

This is probably a very nice thermal bath, and one of the few in France with an informal, family feel. Kids only allowed in the mornings. But I have to give it minimum score because the website says that there is availability, all hourly slots, but then when you actually try to add a reservation to the shopping card it fails. When we went there it was closed for non-reserved guests. So the evening before I expected to be able to come at any time. It said 10:00, 11:00, 12:00 etc (earlier in the week I only saw a few slots later that day). In the morning at 8:30 I expected to be able to come at 10. When I actually went to book at 9:00 I couldn't. When I showed up at 10 there was a big sign saying that nobody is allowed in without a reservation. So no bathing. They need to get their reservation system sorted to avoid people planning their day and then getting bumped.

No admission with anything but speedos, and this policy not visible on the website while making the booking and paying for it. Only possible to buy the swimwear on location and refund of reservation not possible. At least the overpacked human soup outside looks nasty enough!

We came to this place for the bains, we have been refused access as our swimsuits were beach shorts. I bought it as a swimsuit and I have never been neglected access for this reason. I asked for an explanation, they told me it is the policy. (I tried to understand the policy from the Internet, I think it does Not make any sense).

ATTENTION to all foreign tourists (especially those who are not from the EU)! They stole money without actually providing the service! We came to this spa specifically from another city. We paid for entry, but they did not let us inside the spa. The staff did not like my husband's swimming shorts. We got dressed and left after 10 minutes. Then we demanded a refund at the reception for the service that was not provided. 4 different managers spoke to us in turn and under various pretexts simply ran away from resolving the issue of returning the money, while deliberately switching to French to lead the dialogue to a dead end. There was no information on the official website about clothing restrictions. It is surprising that in 2025 such non-customer-oriented places exist. Disgusting, worse than ever. The day was ruined. We do not recommend it to anyone!

Basic facilities, below average service and rather old building. There is a huge scam allowing only lycra swimsuits and nothing else! No lycra swimsuit, you will have to pay another 20 euros to buy one and get in.... Ridiculous policy as an excuse to make extra money.

Lovely baths! Not particularly luxurious, but very relaxing and pretty good value (€23 for 2 hours or €32 for 3 hours)

Great place to relax and enjoy the mountain view, you have a choice of several swimming pools + steam, sauna, super hot, medium and super cold bathtubs, the best is the jacuzzi with open view to the snowy mountains (if you come during winter). The changing rooms & showers are pretty basic.

Amazing ski destination – whatever you’re looking for, you’ll find it here! From easy, chill slopes to wild, uneven runs. The views of the surrounding mountains are absolutely stunning, and the snow conditions are excellent.

Great small Zoo worth of every single penny. Amazing aero show with 🦉 and 🦅. It’s just a unique experience to be able to see the animals so close in a open space. We totally enjoyed the atmosphere and the show. Only bad thing is that the show is only in French. But the eagle made it worth it. Also all other animals are well fed.

Plan your visit to see the birds of prey show, otherwise not much to see here (2pm and 4pm when we visited in July '24)

The only thing captured was our fun We arrived at 1615 - fully 105 mins before closing time - on a Thursday and were told it had just closed for the day. It's not like this place is centre of town - wasted journey and we really wanted to see some animals

Animal park is good but very small place .though there bird show is the show topper rest they have an average setup .small park but it’s good .you can finish this in 15 mints .only one this which I need to tell they have electric current cable .so becarefull you have get shock .any ways good small place

Brilliant place to visit not just for kids. Helpful staff who do speak a bit of English which helps. The bird show is just fantastic with the perfect backdrop of Lac Serre Ponçon.

I absolutely do not recommend this place. This "parc animalier" is NOT a wildlife park by any means, which would suggest that animals roam freely in spacious enclosures. Instead, it resembles a zoo from the 1980s. The animals are confined in alarmingly small cages and pens, making us feel very uncomfortable and uneasy. The poor red fox looked particularly sad, constantly pacing around in his pen. The wolf was also a sad sight. We saw birds of prey locked in tiny cages, their cries sounding like pleas for help. I was shocked by the conditions. We stayed for about 15 minutes before we couldn't take it anymore and left. I wish I had never visited this place.

Excellent moment... 👍👍👍

We enrolled our 6-year-old child in the Oxygen ski school for a week and were very pleased! Our main goal was for her to improve her skiing, and the progress was simply amazing. Compared to other schools we've tried, the results here were significantly better—she became much more confident and skilled on the slopes. Huge thanks to the instructors! A minor downside was the lunch arrangement. Meals were served in a different hotel, and for young kids, carrying their gear and getting there wasn’t the easiest. They were likely assisted, but it still felt a bit inconvenient. Also, the food selection could be a bit more varied. Despite this, if we visit again, we’ll most likely choose Oxygen again—the quality of instruction here is truly outstanding!

Extremely Disappointing Experience – Would Not Recommend This was our first season trying snowboarding, and we were really looking forward to a new and exciting experience. Unfortunately, our time with Oxygene ski and snowboarding school nearly ruined what should have been a special holiday. Despite spending a significant amount of money on lessons, the service we received was appalling. The instructor assigned to us, Daniel, was not only rude and condescending but also completely unprofessional. He was very impatient. Constantly mumble and utter something rude under his breath when me or my daughter fall over, when we didn't hear or understood his instructions. Understandably, we got nervous as it is our first time on the slopes. What’s most upsetting is that he used inappropriate and unacceptable language towards my 12-year-old daughter when I wasn’t present. This is beyond disappointing — it’s infuriating. We call it a quit after the second lessons. I had hoped this company would provide supportive, family-friendly instruction, especially for beginners, but that could not be further from our experience. I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel strongly that others should be warned. There are many ski and snowboard schools out there — I strongly recommend looking elsewhere. We went with Prosneige Ski School to continue with our lessons. They are far more better than Oxygene. Their customer service is top notch and the instructor that assigned to us was superb.

Great ski school with fantastic instructors. Small groups guaranteed and of the numbers get slightly high, they add another instructor which is win win! Enzo, FX and Edison were all individually brilliant! They move you up midweek if you improve and the spontaneous hot chocolates were an unexpected bonus! Will be back next year, thanks Oxygene!

We used the Oxygene Ski School in Val Thorens for kids and adults group classes. The classes were brilliant and we improved over the week. The instructors were patient and Francesco was amazing on the first day helping us all settle in. Our kids loved the classes and are keen to return next year. The kids still talk about their sessions and their instructors Enzo and Oscar.

I just got back from a ski trip, and wow, what a turnaround! I've always thought skiing wasn't for me after a pretty rough experience a few years back. But when my friends planned this January getaway, I was hesitant but decided to give it another shot. As soon as I arrived at the hotel, the receptionist mentioned this company called Oxygène . She raved about how they're a small business that genuinely cares for their clients, and I figured, why not trust her? So, I booked a class with Enzo, my instructor for the entire week. On the first day, we tackled a blue slope, and I was amazed at how much my confidence grew. By the end of that first class, I was actually conquering my fears! The second day was even better; I was already navigating blue slopes and starting to feel like a skier. Enzo was incredible—his support and encouragement made skiing feel effortless. Fast forward to the last day, and I found myself zooming down blue and red slopes with my friend, feeling like a pro! It's all thanks to Enzo’s tips and tricks that helped me build my confidence. I can't recommend him enough! If you're on the fence about skiing, give it a try, especially with someone like Enzo guiding you. You might just surprise yourself!

Booked a 4hr off piste guided lesson, our instructor was Daniele, and I can't rate this experience highly enough, everything was covered from general improvement of our techniques, off piste runs and equipment, plus some freestyle tips and lessons. So much time was taken to explain everything, and how it all effects the way you move the board. A lot of emphasis was put on the fact that this is a bidirectional sport and the improvements that can be made by being bidirectional, which really opened the idea up for more us. 11/10 top class day!

Amazing experience. Super approachable, professional, flexible and professional instructor. Really accommodating office staff. Both myself and my 12 year old son took private lessons. He was encouraged and pushed to grow in confidence, being able to go up and down the nursery slops and use the ‘magic carpets’ fully independently by then of the second lesson. Thank you Luca. Can’t wait to keep on learning next year!

The best ski school and instructors, I arrived as a really nervous absolute beginner and Milan taught me the essentials along with building my confidence. He adapted the lessons as I was progressing and was extremely patient. I can’t rate highly enough. I even booked more lessons throughout the week and I enjoyed them so much. Thanks Milan.

We were lucky to have Elian Leonhart as our guide on the EGSW hosted groups . He was very flexible, helpful and attentive to all the skiers needs and requests and the best guide I have had in over 10 years. Merci bien .

Very grateful for the service by max and Jeremy. Bought a pair of boots here, was thoroughly impressed by the level of detail that was put into getting a pair that I felt were the right fit for me. After a few days of skiing I had to get the boots readjusted and everything was perfect. They helped me massively with tips to get the boots on properly and how to solve the problems I faced. Thank you very much - they were amazing.

Highly recommend using Prosneige for lessons. We had 6 snowboarding lessons with Charly and absolutely loved them! He provided really clear instructions, tips and demos for beginners and made lessons fun and varied, too. He kept the motivation up when I was struggling which was really important for me! Great instructor

It's a great Team and amazing experience. In particular for the boot fitting guys. You're talking to experts. Follow their lead as they take you through how it should feel and what to expect between comfort and performance. I love my boots . Best skiing ever following this. Thanks again!

We had the best ski 🎿 instructor this week!! Mathaiu (Matt) made learning so much fun! Improved our technique. Mixed it up with some off piste and improved our confidence on the steeper slopes. Thanks Matt - great job!! See you next year 👍 Charlie & Lisa

Was disappointed with the ski club for my 3 y/o son. I can't complain for the quality of ski lessons. It was more or less ok. But we signed him in for the whole week - full 6 days. They skied 2 hours in the morning and 2 in the afternoon. Rest of the time they mostly spent in this tiny room with one set of lego and couple of other toys. Toilet - adult size only. It's fine for couple of hours ski lesson, but not for the whole week. At the end of the ski course, everyone was suppose to get a medal. I was passing ESF at the time of the medal ceremony - the photographer, medals and ski book for each child. When I came to pick up my son, I expected the same. Most of the people were gone, we had to ask for the medal (which is a big deal for my LO) and the ski book. Disappointing experience. Will choose club Piou Piou next time again.

Excellent ski station for family and kids. My kids took ski lesson here and they loved it. Coach can communicate very well in English and he was patient.

Very nice place to ski with a fun ski park and not too many people around

Various ski slopes, beautiful view, nice restaurants

Beautiful ski resort, good for children and families. Lots of well maintained ski slopes. The resort has games on the snow, husky rides, several restaurants on the slope. The slopes are not very demanding, few black slopes.

My experience with ESF was horrible. I took an adult beginners class and since I'd never been on skis before, I needed the very basics, like how to balance, stand, etc. Instead of starting on a flat surface to practice, they put us on a small slope and just said, "okay, ski down". I fell every time and the instructor was clearly annoyed with me, even made fun of me in front of the whole class. Before class started, the meeting area was chaos - there were more than 50 or so people standing around, trying to figure out which instructor they were supposed to go with. I told them I needed an English-speaking instructor and they said "follow so-n-so", but they don't have their names on their jackets so it was impossible to tell the instructors apart. I ended up with someone who doesn't speak any English, which is okay because I speak some French. But from what I could tell, I was just being insulted the whole time; never given any real instruction nor any encouragement. The experience has made me very wary to ever ski again but I will try again with another ski school. Maybe the experience is different for those who speak French fluently.

Great 'French' (unknown to Brits) ski resort. Not the biggest amount of runs but made up with shorter queues and fairly quick lifts. Give it a go!

Super resort, a lot of things for kids over 3 years old. Half of slopes are for beginners, ideal again with kids but you find galore reds and blacks.

The most amazing mountain views from the top and some small animals to see on the way down.

If you've ridden from St Michel de Maurienne you know. What can I say about this iconic cycle climb it's rock hard but boy the views are well worth the pain.

Breathtaking landscape and view! We drove up the Col du Galibier, which was kinda scary at some point bc the street is incredibly narrow. As we drove up the mountain you would see many bikers struggling to get up this mountain, they of course made it! We stopped the care midway and hiked the remainder of the mountain. As we got on top we probably took about 30 min to take in this view. It was an incredible journey and totally worth it!!

Ride up here with your bicycle! Stunning views on the top as a reward. Additionally, a spectacular descent on mostly very good roads.

As a cyclist this is one of the highlights of my trip to France. It's a bloody hard climb, but so rewarding at the top for the views. I rode it in October, at the top it said 1c of my Wahoo so it made the descent quite cold.

Top of a Tour De France climb. Well worth the effort to get there. Views are spectacular and the descent is awesome. Give it a go.

Southern part of the French Alps (Graic Alps). Dream Pass for a biking challenge. 43 kilometers, over 2,000 meters of altitude difference and 2,642 at the highest point. Snow stays there all year round, the air is crisp that you want to climb up and you need only good weather to admire the three thousand meters around (Grand Galibier, Pic des Trois Eveches, Arves massif). The mountain pass is the highest point of the Tour de France .

Rooms are small but cozy. The views are spectacular, however service is really poor. You have to bring, replace and return sheets yourself, there is no soap, dishwashing liquid, dishwasher tablets, toilet paper, shower gel, cotton swabs, shampoo, nothing at all, you have to buy everything. The knives and cups are old and very poor quality. The shower hose also was partly broken.

Great chalet for wintersports, close to the piste and a short walk or bus ride to the centre of Valloire. The appartment was roomy and clean. Furniture was on the old side but still very usable.

Enjoyed our time in this apartment complex. The check in was somewhat organised in the French way. We had to wait far to long. After that everything was good. Nice warm swimming pool. Ski piste was on the backside of the appartment. From there a few minutes to the telecabin. Perfect spot.

Nice apartments, almost ski-in and out, with a minibus shuttle from the lifts in town up to the reception building. Plenty big enough for 8 of us

Very nice place, i did appreciate to spend the 2023 winter there😊

Clean and comfortable, no oven, WiFi incredibly slow, location okay.

Ski in and ski out to skilift

If you are ever in Gap this place is fabulous.

Range of walks from leisurely strolls to full on hikes with spectacular views over Gap.

It's a very useful parking but I don't know if it's enough when there is a big happening there with the participation of many - many people...

Very convenient parking spot to enter the park. Plenty of space also on busy days

Nice area with great views and a network of hiking trails

Great

Very fine and lovely environment

Fantastic Experience with ESF – Highly Recommend Booking Early! We had an amazing experience with ESF, and our biggest tip is to book early! We originally wanted group lessons for our 5-year-old daughter, but they were completely booked up. Luckily, we managed to get one-to-one lessons, which weren’t much more expensive and turned out to be a fantastic decision. Clem’ – A Brilliant Instructor! Our daughter had never skied before, and to be honest, she can’t even roller-skate, so we were a little unsure how she’d get on. She was also quite nervous about meeting her instructor, but within 30 seconds of meeting Clem’, she was completely at ease. Clem’ is an absolute star—friendly, patient, and fantastic with kids. We booked six days of one-hour private lessons, and the progress was unbelievable. Clem’ gave us brilliant advice, not just for our daughter but for us as parents—things like letting her figure things out independently rather than jumping in to help too soon. By day three, she was flying down the kids' slope (like a little bullet!), and by day four, she was confidently using the button lift and skiing down all by herself. Clem’ also gave us tips for next year, recommending a group session, as kids often improve faster when learning alongside others. A Few Tips for First-Timers Book early – Group sessions fill up fast, and one-to-one lessons can also get booked up quickly. Confirm the meeting point – If you’re new to the area, it can be a bit confusing. To get to the lesson area, you need to take the Lobster Pot lift up to the main ski area. The meeting point is by the restaurant near the Signal lift, but after the first day, we met directly at the kids’ ski area, which was much easier. Do not go to the office as that's in the village below. Don’t hover too much – Clem’ encouraged us to drop our daughter off, go ski for an hour, then come back. It worked brilliantly, as she got to learn independently while we enjoyed our time on the slopes. Stick around for the ESF Show – On Thursday evening, ESF put on a fantastic ski show with fireworks, featuring 300+ instructors doing incredible performances. The best way to watch? Grab a table at a restaurant, have some drinks, and enjoy the show from there rather than heading up the mountain. Just wrap up warm—it gets freezing up there! Final Thoughts Honestly, we couldn’t rate ESF highly enough. From the way instructors help out on the lifts to their expertise in teaching skiers of all levels, the entire experience was top-class. Even if you're an intermediate skier, I’d still recommend booking a couple of private lessons—I saw one-to-one lessons happening, and the level of improvement was seriously impressive. And finally—a massive shoutout to Clem’ for making our daughter’s first skiing experience fun, confidence-boosting, and genuinely unforgettable. She’s an absolute credit to ESF, and we’ll 100% be booking lessons again next year. If you're planning a ski holiday, get on their website and book early—you won’t regret it!

Jerome is the best ski teacher I have ever met. He was so motivating and brought my self confidence back. With his leadership we were a great team and it is great to know he will never leave you behind. And one of the most important thing is his English fluency especially if you are a beginnner. Jerome showed an empathy that how you feel while learning. He was my chance.

Me and my brother had 3 hours of private lessons with Chris B. and it was amazing. In just a few minutes we were able to improve our technique with all his tips and calm explanations. Thank you very much for everything Chris, for sure we will come back and ask for you in our next lessons!

My experience with ESF at Alpe D’Huez was brilliant. I booked on to Adult Beginner Ski School for a week in March. 6 mornings on the snow, learning basic snow ski skills, using lifts and having fun. The Instructor, Thalassa, was great, supportive and encouraging. I would highly recommend booking with ESF, and if you can ask for Thalassa!

I had 6 days of ski school with a French instructor named William. He was very professional, incredible at explaining the theory, and he was super kind. He surely created a great atmosphere in the ski school class. I give William and ESF my warmest recommendations.

Insanely good lessons with Antoine ( hope I spelt correctly). Very simple explanations of fundamentals of ski technique and muscles used which really connected the dots for me. I have only done 3 seasons and somehow he’s got me confident with reds and I have now safely and in controlled completed 3 blacks runs using the techniques he taught me which was a bonus as never expected that! I have never felt so chilled skiing Thankyou!!!

Such a good ski school. I have booked lessons for my two daughters and for myself. Little girls absolutely loved it and completed their weeks course with theirs fabulous ski instructor ladies. My instructor was Ettiene and he was so patient and engaging. I haven't completed mine,missed three days as I was unfortunately ill on holiday and didn't have any energy to get up that early every day,but will be definitely recommending this to everyone.

We climbed Mt. Gargas above the Shrine. Beautiful place. Cordialement, Chartreuse Gîte La Grange Doman (Google us !)

This place has a very good view, surrounded by the Alps mountains.

Amazing place and the way up to the mountain is exquisite. Make sure if you travel in the winter to have the right gear with you. Having Mass at 1800 meters altitude while surrounded by mountains was very special.

Great atmosphere beautiful sanctuaries in the mountains summit.

we were taken to this beautiful place. Situated at an altitude of 1,800 meters in the French. A beautiful, spiritual pilgrimage site with a basilica, a miraculous spring, and walking paths.

Absolutely stunning how they built the Monastery all them years ago there is a hotel on the site beautiful scenery as you would imagine there is a canteen and a restaurants inside the church is stunning so much respect for the to the monks who built the Monastery all them years ago

Very very beatiful and nice place. You must go there, be sure!

It was good definitely for more advanced skiers, the slopes are well maintained

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic family fun – even without the snow! We visited Les Sept Laux (Les Adrets) in the summer and had the best day! Even without the skiing, the resort has so much to offer – and those mountain views are absolutely breathtaking. There were loads of activities for the whole family. We raced down the brilliant Wiz Luge, the kids had a blast playing crazy golf, riding the pedal go-karts, and bouncing around on the trampoline. We enjoyed delicious drinks and refreshing sorbets at Chez Victor, and to top it all off, the kids got to go wild at a super fun foam party – total highlight for them! Everything was really reasonably priced, the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and there was such a good variety of things to do. Highly recommend Les Sept Laux as a summer destination – perfect mix of fun, scenery, and value. We’ll definitely be back!

Awesome bike park in the Isere region. Excellent variety of tracks with some fun jumps.

Really nice ski area! First winter trip here, love the fact that the areas and cities are without cars! Good long slopes, went with 3 kids 3,8 and 9 years. Would love a “blue” slope down from middle to Prapoutel without need to go all the way to playnet.

Fantastic ski resort. Not very big but many possibilities!

I've been skiing there in february, to me it is the best ski resort in France. the landscape is amazing, the slopes are steep and well prepared. you can admire the vue on the chairlift because they are quite slow, i managed to eat entirely my whole big american sandwich in the eterlou, it was great. The ski rescuers are so nice and handsome, I can’t stop thinking about Thibault and his beautiful curly hair and when I do i wet my pants.

Nice MTB downhill park during summer with well equipped trails. Complete stupidity is the lift access. Alternately by the day the short or the long lift is open. The longer lift access the same tracks as the smaller one but if you come on the wrong day (which you do not know as tourist) you pay the same daily price for 50% of the area. When you are thrilled by the tracks like I was, staying another successive day does not benefit at all. And at the end of the day there is no machine or desk open to return the key card with 3,- deposit, feels like theft to me.

3.5🌟 we reckon. On the way back from Annecy to Grenoble, we decided to stop in Chambery. It was still early. We were pleasantly surprised that the town has lots to offer too. We parked near the main square. As usual, there are lots of restaurants, cafes, ice-cream parlours at the square. Decided to stroll further after our evening drinks. We arrived at the fountain. Most fountains in larger towns we have seen are always grand and somewhat of a center piece. This one is no different. The elephants have their backs again the fountain, which is of course a defensive posture. As if to tell everyone, they are protecting the fountain. Walking further, we were greeted by several other monuments within the town. A worthwhile stopover with many sights to see.

Very beautiful historical fountain ⛲️ 😍 I don't know if the water is potable, but it doesn't look so. I used to sit in the near garden and enjoy reading.

Lovely French town with ample nice places to eat. Follow the brass elephants on the street beside the fountain for a self guided tour, going however quickly you like, to see some lovely old buildings built in typical French style.

A hidden gem in France. This is such a picturesque beautiful little town, with narrow streets and lovely restaurants. Slap bang in the middle of the French Alps.

This is the most famous location in chambery. You can visit all the famous place of chambery near to it. Statue is very fabulous and maintained it very well. Kids enjoying near to it.

La Fontaine des Éléphants in Chambéry is a true gem. The beauty of the sculpted elephants is simply breathtaking and the attention to detail is amazing. The fountain is surrounded by lush greenery, making it a peaceful and serene place to relax. The atmosphere is peaceful and calming, and it's a great place to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. I highly recommend visiting La Fontaine des Éléphants for anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful oasis in Chambéry. Whether you're a local or a tourist, this stunning fountain is not to be missed.

The elephant heads with the steep mountain slopes in the background reminded me of Hannibal's army, climbing the Alps to conquest the ancient Rome. However, these elephants look like Indian elephants which is intriguing, as the ones used by Hannibal in the war against Romans were most probably African elephants (with much larger ears). Then I learned that the monument is actually dedicated to a French mercenary born in Chambery, who made his fortune in India (General Count de Boigne). Interesting monument, anyway! It's the symbol of the city and not to be missed if you're around.

Would be nice to have more boards with details on it, like working hours, or something general. Not everything needs to be googled or require tours and reservations.

A big castle... and a big disappointment I decided to visit this castle after reading countless glowing reviews online. A majestic fortress, they said... a must-see, they insisted. Well, they clearly saw something I didn’t. At first glance, it looked promising — the outer walls, the imposing gate, and the bastions are undeniably impressive. So far, so good. I opted for the guided tour, which also promised the “complete” experience. That’s when things started going downhill. A large portion of the original structures has been destroyed over time. In their place, new buildings have been erected — and they don't fit in at all with the old buildings. These new buildings now serve as administrative offices. Translation: over 75% of the complex is closed to the public. So much for the “complete” tour. The castle was entirely renovated in the 20th century — and yes, it shows. For example, the interior of the "Treasury Tower" (the only tower we were actually allowed to visit) looks like a set from a cheap movie . What did the guided tour include? The fortified gate (which, fun fact, you can visit for free anyway) The chapel, half-empty The treasury tower, almost empty A cellar, entirely empty The guide did his best and shared plenty of historical facts. But unless you're already passionate about the Duchy of Savoy, the whole lecture might feel more like a podcast you didn’t mean to start. In conclusion, two things worth noting: Many of the pictures associated with this tourist site have little or nothing to do with the actual castle. Likely uploaded by people hoping to score a few social media points. Several reviews mention a “panoramic view of the city.” I’ll post a picture and let you judge whether that view was worth the hype.

Outside it is a nice Castle, however you can’t go in to see the whole place without a guide tour. Guide tours are mostly on weekends and just in French. You have to book the guide tour in the tourist center of the city. By the way, you can visit the museum of the castle for free.

Savoy is a former state that included Genève, Turin and Nice a few centuries ago. It's hard to believe nowadays that these famous cities from Switzerland, Italy and France were part of the same country, which doesn't exist anymore. Even more strange: the capital of this state was, for about 250 years, the little town of Chambery. This is what the museum is all about: the history of the Savoyard State. We took the free tour and enjoyed it a lot. The description of the artifacts is in both French and English, so there's not really need for the guided tour (unless you don't speak anyone of these languages). In addition to the historical Savoyard exhibits, the visitors have the opportunity to take some instagramic pictures from the top level terrace: the old town rooftops look great at sunset with the Alps in the background.

The castle features: a very well preserved interior of the new palace; a very nice view from the mi-rond tower; an interesting exposition with historical maps of the region.

Enjoy the visit filled with plenty of historical infos. Guide was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Very nice place castle 🏰 and interesting the story

This chocolatier gets only 4 stars cause it’s really pricey. I spent lots of euros there and felt like I was buying a cat in the sack cause I could not taste the flavors. The shop is exquisitely arranged and Flavia spoke English and explained what the different types of chocolate are. I ordered a sphinx dessert and it was absolutely delicious. The pastry rates equally amongst other fine patisseries I’ve eaten at.

The best chocolate I had in my Life !! Truly makes me happy, the taste, texture , the quality !

Lovely store, but pricey. Good chocolates and lots of other goodies. Consummate salespeople, you could walk out with stuff you never intended to buy! Our son was always treated well with lots of little free candy.

The staff were so friendly and we managed to understand each other despite the language difference. I can wait to try the chocolates and the croissant was amazing!

Just received a package in Greece, with the following chocolates, as seen on the photo. I have just tried the yellow one and I can not describe how I felt. First of all, you do not bite it, you just let it melt in your mouth. After I had a couple of pieces by jaw went numb and the hair in my body stood up. It has been now 10 mins later and the feeling is still there. This is the reason I HAD to write this review. Everyone should taste this and experience true chocolate bliss. I can not describe the feeling and the sensation. After you try Bonnat chocolates, all other chocolates feel like a very cheap imitation.

Simply the greatest chocolatier in the world! The staff is always friendly and helpful. Plus, they infuse Chartreuse into some of the desserts. Bonnat is a must-have.

Quite simply the best chocolate you can buy anywhere. One of a few chocolate makers that make their chocolate from cocoa beans directly and not from couverture. 20 or so single origin chocolates. The factory shopfront near Grenoble is a charming tea room and pastry shop. Their cakes are fantastic: Sphynx and Succès the top specialties.
