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.

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

Hiring bikes was a painless experience. Free parking and the Annecy Lake was conquered satisfactorily! Thank you for your help with me and my family. We had a great time =)

Generations of the world's finest makers of Cloche permit an insight into this remarkable craftsmanship, the sounds of the cloche and range of sizes. Also, where they have ended up, just how many they've made and the passion of their team from one century to another. Highly recommended and take the guided tour if you can.

An interesting hour and a half on a very wet midweek afternoon. They have a great video explaining the whole process of casting the enormous bells for which they are famous - and they will play it in your own language if your French isn’t quite up to it. They also have a good shop and a lovely little tea room too.

Friendly welcome on a Sunday. Our guide was highly knowledgeable and answered many questions. Eating in dog friendly environment available.

Very interesting history and we had a very passionate guide.

This museum is very interesting with the history of many bells, specially the big bell at the New York gate. The other, many bells of the churches in Vietnam was made from this factory.

Small but rich with historical records. Educative documentaries make me acquaintance with the craftsmanship of bell-making!

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.

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!

Superb experience getting new boots fitted by Jeremy. Incredibly efficient initial fitting in the morning, followed by adjustments that afternoon. 2 Moore dsys skiing on them and no more adjustments required.

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

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!

Do not miss this place. Managed completely by volunteers, this is an historical and military museum, extremely well curated.

They did an amazing job restoring this fort. If you are going to visit one Italian Alpine fort go here because the museum is comprehensive.

Complete and interesting, a unique place!

Nice experience, the best part is reading newspapers from the WW2 period (understanding of Italian required). Trading them in hindsight is a great way to realize how deep was the fascist propaganda at the time, there is no account of any loss, only triumphalistic announces, even when the axis was losing ground. There is a great collection of howitzers and other artillery pieces, from the invention of the rifled barrel onwards. For those who like this kind of weapons, it's most definitely worth a visit. For those who don't, the view from the top might be enough to compensate.

A must for anyone with an interest in military history; in fact, in history tout court. Each year the collection gets richer, thanks to the admirable work of the volunteers.

road is not paved but accessible with a private car. perfect for short walk with kids and picnic

Extensive museum, and a very interesting timeline

Lovely Bombardino. Nice friendly staff

This is a great place to stop for aperitivo in Sauze. The staff is super friendly and the ambiance is lovely.

Love it. We ordered a drink each while waiting for our dinner in the nearby restaurant. The music was great. And the the waitress brought us complimentary meat and cheese platter . Lovely

Excellent. Little quirky bar. Nice beers and different too other bars in town. Free food really good Cosy and small outside seating nice if the sun is out

Lovely ambience both indoors and out!!Friendly staff,quick service,didn't eat there so can't comment..very atmospheric inside

Best bar in town with great tunes, wonderfully friendly staff, good value drinks and generous complementary nibbles. The charcuterie is also excellent. Love it.

Superb service! We had to be moved from our seats due to a band arriving and having to use the space we were in. We had to stand for a little while, but the staff gave us a round of drinks on the house, as well as free food. As soon as a table of seats became available, they ensured we could sit down and continued to make sure we were happy. All round, a great experience and I would happily return! Thanks Seggoivia :)

Absolutely great exciting fun, for children and adults too. All ages. You can choose your level of excitement and thrill, by increasing or decreasing the speed. No danger, you can never fall out the twister with the cart, so just go to the max!

Hold onto your mittens—this alpine adrenaline noodle will twist your soul into a pretzel and leave your cheeks wind-whipped from grinning. The Mountain Toboggan Twister is a gravity-defying, every bend feels like it was designed by a caffeinated mountain goat. One moment you’re cruising past postcard-perfect peaks, the next you’re spiraling like a snowflake in a blender.

An affordable ride, only 5.80€ for a double luge and other options of you want to ride more. Line moved relatively quickly and our kids loved it. Credit cards accepted.

Fun, like a sledge but on wheels, in a nice scenery. The 10 rides were used in minutes. Enjoy more in summer though

So much fun. People are so nice and in a good mood in this attraction ☺.

It went really fast, I felt excited ( by my son aged 5)

€6 per car, great fun.

The ski resort is very large and you can have fun regardless of your skiing level. There are also many hiking trails that allow for wonderful snowshoe hikes. The natural surroundings and views are fantastic.

Arguably one of the ugliest ski resorts in the French alps, however, this is in stark contrast to the excellent ski area, fast lifts and varied terrain. If you are an avid skier or snowboarder this is one of if not the best resort in the alps to visit.

This was my first time skiing in the Alps. I highly recommend this resort to all skiers ⛷️ and snowboarders. You will love the slopes, people, and food.

Great ski resort. The blue slopes are really nice, good lift access. Lots of restaurants but need more vegan options

Amazing ski resort! Several ski slopes and many possibilities for other activities. The bobsleigh descent is unforgettable.

Beautiful well designed apartments for skiers and walkers (depending on the season). Beautiful views of the mountains and lifts (depending on which side you're on I suppose). The apartments are compact but with 2 twin bedrooms, 2 bunks and a double sofa bed, with ease you could fit 8 people in ours. Galley style kitchen is best suited to one person cooking at a time so pre-plan to share the cooking duties if possible. Good extractor fan and each apartment is well appointed with plates and cutlery for 16 (2 meals a day) and a dishwasher as well as breakfast bowls and a host of utensils. We were only short a grater and a potato masher (apparently not French essentials). There a multiple lifts to various parts of the buildings as well as a lot of basement bootrooms/lockers to store your boots and skis and keep your apartment dry. The complex has a code entry to the pool, when you want access - daytime only (closes at 7) and no access on Saturday (change over day) with a new code each week. A 5 minute walk to the local Spar shop makes this a very convenient location with a Restaurant next door to the Spar as well as one opposite the entrance to Lagranges. The Ski and board hire shop is spitting distant from the complex check-in with convenient ski racks located around to stash your skis whilst you buy passes or snacks. The ski-pass system is very flexible at the resort with options for beginners being circa €35 a day, half day options, full resort passes, multi-resort passes and a pedestrian access pass to access the top of glacier via bubble lift for only €8! Superb. The resort is at 1800m so well above the snowline with easy access up to 3000m for fresher snow more often. Snowed again just as we left so if you're looking right now it's perfect for a last minute get away (9/01/23) enjoy! Back again for New Year 2024 - snowed every day so far and the trails are well groomed. Swimming Pool has been renovated as well as the wooden features across the resort.

Great ski resort especially if your using a motorhome parked right next to the main run back to La Plagne. Electric at the end of every row (which didnt trip once) and water is located at a hut at the entrance of site (short slippery walk). The while of thus network is mostly made up of about 70% blues 25% Reds and 5%blacks although many of the blues are more red like. Some great places to eat around the area but it is pricey.. €9-11 a pint !!! Food is around normally UK prices. The roads leading up the mountain to Villages was always mint ( the French know how todo it) the only time we had to put chains on was at the start of the aire as its not as well maintained as the main roads. I'd defo go back to this site and la plagne.

We would like to thank Alexandre for the great adventure! He helped us really good. We spotted a beautiful chamois on the mountain. We could see him climb and eat the tree leaves. We had a swim and a great 5m high jump into the cold water. Thank you so much for those great memories that will stay forever. We love rafting, la douce france, kisses from Belgium

A truly exhilarating experience. Martin (ML), was our instructor and he could not have been more reassuring to those on the boat with less confidence and who were a bit apprehensive. He was highly knowledgeable of the water and made us all feel safe. On the rapid sections Martin used clear and concise commands which were easy to follow and on the calmer sections we enjoyed Martin’s local knowledge of the river ecosystem and history of the area. 5 stars all-round and highly recommend.

Such a great day!! Super easy to get to. Supplied everything we needed, boots, wetsuit and top with plenty of sizes. The guide Thibaut was wonderful speaking in English and French all whilst steering the raft. We did the “active” experience which involved some decent drops and splashes along the way.

Brilliant rafting down Les Gorge. Instructor Alexandre was absolutely excellent and made it incredible fun. We rafted down rapids, jumped off ledges and had some time floating down the river too. An excellent morning!

We spent half a day white water rafting with Evo2 in Landry a week ago and had an amazing experience. Very professional set-up and great instructors. ML was excellent and gave us full confidence and special mention to our instructor Myrtille who was brilliant, positive and fun. Myself and my 3 children (aged 10, 12, 14) had the best experience (including the cliff jumps!) and could not fault it. It was our highlight activity from a fun-packed week in Tignes. Thank you to all the staff. Would highly recommend.

Hydrospeed with Edouard was a super cool experience, we had a lot of fun, and we were in good hands. Organization was great, there is a friendly ambience at base too, 100/10 recommended. 🙌🏻 Thank you for the full team!

Fantastic setup. We got taken out today by ML who was fantastic with us the whole way through. Even happened to come across a Chamois deer. Thanks ML, see you at 1580

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.

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...

The ski slopes in Chamonix lack mountain restaurants. The ones they have are expensive for what you get. Best to pack a picnic, drinks and snacks.

A ski domain snack bar/restaurant above a picnic room/bar (not open in summer) offering a selection of very tasty food. The service can be great... just not consistent.

Beautiful spot to get a coffee drink donut and sit relax for a rest.

Very quiet at this time of year but particularly due to Covid-19 restrictions.

Le Signal is the second bubble lift up the mountain and brings you out to a gateway of runs across the mountain. A good meeting point with a couple of nice places to get food and drink to fuel you up. Stunning views all round. Only downside is it does get busy but once you're on piste it's fabulous.

Super nice spot with great views back towatds mont blanc. Gondola is a touch slow - and is closed for lunch in summer - but definitely worth visiting. Nice walk up to col du joly - about 30 mins. Good spot to walk the dog. Not much shade but great open views

Everything you'd expect, expectedly pricey food. Bearable phone and WiFi available and plenty of space to put gear down. There's a huge sign that gives you up to date piste information too. Nearby is also the meeting point for a ski/snowboard instructor.

Stupendous views and great runs -a red and a black. Black particularly good. Great snow quality but the red can get busy just at the top. Picnic tables, viewing platforms, interesting information boards about the National Park, its plants and animals. Two Yuge cameras (link your lift pass to the Yuge app and on scanning the pass you can have your photo taken, which then can be seen and shared from the app). Our firm favourite in Les Arcs and highly recommended.

Amazing place. On a good day you will have a 360 degrees view of the Alps till your eyes can see. The red slope going down from the top has one or two steep parts but nothing that a half-decent red slope skier cannot handle. Just don't look over the edges on the sides if you are quite scared of heigths.

Just magical. This view you can only find in few places in the world!

Take a cable car ride up to the top to experience the most beautiful view.

Very high up, impressively high and an amazing engineering accomplishment. Visited in April and it was a chilly 3°C. Skiing down the Glacier du Varet was very pleasant and the snow was good even unlike the slush further down in the valley. Great views, especially on Mont Blanc. Although it was very pleasant up top, there are no toilets at the top, it is frequently closed in winter due to strong winds and there are long queues very often onto the cable car that takes one up. Would recommend, but come prepared for no café or toilet.

Amazing view, it can take you some time toget to the top with the lift, but it was definitely worth it

Wonderful views. Strong winds, very cold. Skiing down was relatively straight forward not too icy either. Would visit again on a clear day.

Amazing place perfect set up to enjoyed the slopes

Very nice experience, me and the kids enjoyed it. But it's really really hot inside the cabin, it would be better if it had more windows or A/C

Bought a 10 day pass for my son (who has basically spent his entire holiday in the bike park) because the attendant very helpfully suggested that it was a more economic option than buying daily passes

Great ski lockers, fast lift and plenty of parking. Would recommend for a place to start a day's skiing.

Very nice place.

Need to advertise there ski lockers more widely! Great facilities which saves a journey on the bus/ or walking across the village with heavy skis.

Good, fast lift, accessible toilets at the bottom and picnic room and toilets at the top, no queues for the majority of the time. Direct access from Les Carroz village to the rest of Le Grand Massif ski area.

Majestic views of the valley below, with paragliders hopping off the top. If you take the Bus 5 to Joux Plane, it’s a really relaxed walk to the top. It feels criminal to be rewarded with such a view for so little effort.

Great views of Samoens, Mont Blanc and the surroundings.

Easy hike, great view of Mont Blanc. Family and senior group friendly hike. 30 mins easy walk from the parking to the summit.

Stunning views over Samoens as far as Mont Blanc and occasionally paragliders chucking themselves off for your amusement. A gravel track brings you to within about a kilometre of the top and there's a path from there.

Nice views of the Mont Blanc

Nice place and easy to go

(Translated by Google) Magnificent view of Mont Blanc. Parking is conveniently located at "Parking La Bourgeoise," and then it's about a 25-minute walk. This is great for families with children. The view is stunning, depending on the weather. (Original) Magnifique vue sur le Mont Blanc. Il convient de se garer au "Parking La Bourgeoise", ensuite il y a environ 25 minutes de marche. Cela se fait très bien avec les enfants. La vue est splendide en fonction de la météo.

This was great, fantastic views, really enjoyed the trip. We bought a 4 day advance ticket from tourist office for all local ski lifts for best value. We also walked on the path to the next ski lift La Paz, a medium challenging walk also with amazing views.

Highly recommended if hiking is main objective. We went upto Planplaz and then hiked to and from La Flegere. It too about 4 and half hours. Could take shorter or longer depending on fitness. One can go up and then take the stairs lift down to Le Praz or vice versa. Hiking or taking the cable car to Brevent is also an option.

Amazing experience we had to book the time slot to visit Mt Brevent the cable car was something else amazing engineering skills and design to carry people up to areas that are totally unreachable to most. Best Day for a long time

Great view. It is worthy to jump off and hike from the top lift Brevent to the middle lift. It takes around 1 hour to hike including the picture time and coffee break.

If you have multipass, you can use this cable lift for free...You have to change lift in half of your way up to top, where is restaurant with breathtaking view to Mont Blanc and nearby mountains...Above restaurant is another place with 360 degree breathtaking views...

Google map info about the cable car stations around Chamonix sometimes could be confusing. This is the station to Le Brevent. Not very crowded during UTMB period in late August. I bought a Multi pass and rode immediately.

We’ve never had much luck with the Aiguille du Midi, either poor weather with no visibility or fully booked on the clear days. This lift proved to be an excellent alternative, with breathtaking views of the Mont Blanc range. From the summit, you don’t just get the Mont Blanc panorama but also, on a clear day you can see all the way to the Chartreuse near Grenoble and Chambéry. It’s not as high as the Aiguille du Midi (only 2525m), but it’s still a fantastic experience and well worth the trip. There are auberges at both stops for food or drinks, and watching the paragliders take off adds to the atmosphere.

Just out of this world experience. The views are absolutely stunning. The facilities are amazing considering the height. Multiple decks for panoramic views. Do keep in mind that the oxygen level will be low and some might feel a bit dizzy. Once in a life time experience,

Your amazing ride starts in the center of chamonix, there you will take the most thrilling cable car ride if you life. With the best views, grass that turns u to snow, and trees that turn into massive cliffs. Aguille du midi is a must for everyone. The views at the top are truly out of this world and make you seem so small. Would recommend to everyone visiting chamonix. Give out of five stars

Excellent view of the Alps from here. We were fortunate that the sky were clear. The view is better than the one we experienced in Jungfraujoch.

Wow!!! Just stunning. Exceptional views 360. Will do again. Review will not do any justice. You just have to go. Nice cafe as well. Stairs from elevator to cafe was a bit of a drag in the thin air. Wife’s lips turned purple from lack of oxygen. Be aware of the signs.

Absolutely astonishing views from the top. A must visit location in Chamonix!! It's pricey but worth each cent. Turnaround ticket for adult is 95€. Check the webcam before to make sure that it is sunny on the top as the weather differs alot and clouds in the valley do not mean clouds on top.

Incredible view . The beauty is breathtaking. You can see the highest peak in Europe from afar. Many people paragliding here. It is a must-visit place in life.

The cable bus from the Chamonix city with a change over in between takes you to the peak of Aiguille du Midi. This peak is exactly in the border of France and Italy. A 20 minutes journey of ten each takes you to the peak. To see the mont blanc, you have to take a pass like temporary visa to the italian side and from the peak to which a lift is taking you, you can see the mont blanc. There is also a glass cage with dead drop bottom. The view from the top is magnificient. It takes you to the view of entire iced surroundings. The mont blanc is the highest peak of Alps. More famous for limited edition pen. They are allowing a total of 2 and half hours to see and come back. On a sunny day, the views are beautiful. The climate is sometimes minus in the peak

The location and pools were great. Most pools had luke warm water with the exception of the pool at the top, which was hot. The dry sauna was hot and delightful. The inside water rooms were fun. My problem was with the staff. The young lady with brown hair and glasses who was in charge of seating for the aperitif on August 1 at 1900 was very rude. She came to our table and instead of making polite conversation with us, she told us story after story about how our home country was full of stupid people, we don't know geography, our food is bad, and we all go around waving guns. Although she has never been to our home country, she was sure to tell us everything wrong with it. It was uncomfortable and insulting.

Amazing experience! From the very beginning staff were nice and helpful, the service was great throughout. The location is absolutely perfect - you swim in the hot water underneath the snowy Mont Blanc. The views and scenery is gorgeous. The place’s facilities are great, the have plenty of hot baths (covered and outside) so it is never too crowded, and they have saunas, relaxing area, massages and lunch. The food at lunch was excellent as well. You receive everything you need - a towel, slippers and a robe, and even a change of robe if you have lunch. The shower area is very well equipped and well designed. Absolutely recommended!

Not the best experience at this spa, we went there at 6, and given a happy hour at 6:45. Which we completely missed because there is only a single clock hidden in one of the buildings. Also we where not told that there are no food options on the premises, so we went hungry for our time there. Many people brought their phones in to take pictures, videos and face time, this made us uncomfortable. I would not recommend people going to this spa for a relaxing time, the view is wonderful, but you don't need to be in this spa to see it. Also there where no employee's to speak to about issues.

The facilities are great. The Lady with classes working in the Bistro was very rude. We were not informed that the Bistro was only available up until a certain time. We missed the slot and were Rudely expelled

Absolutely stunning spa getaway in the mountains. Went here while on a rest day in Coumayeur hiking along the Tour du Mont Blanc, and it was the highlight of my rest. Felt refreshed to get back on the trail the next day.

The views are beautiful. However, Was extremely disappointed here. (Only used spa and had lunch and aperitif) Have been to various QC TERME and this has to be the worst for service. The hospitality staff were rude and I wont go back to this particular qc. That being said every other QC has everything.

The terme was nice and relaxing, but there were no signs to help people find their way, especially to the upstairs rooms. First-timers might miss the stairs. Better guidance is needed, and people with lone hair should be asked to tie their hair more properly.

(Translated by Google) I tried it for the first time today and it was a great experience. The staff is very professional, our guide was Franco, a truly fantastic instructor. He made everything simple, safe and fun even though my son who is only 5 years old was also on the dinghy. (Original) Oggi ho provato per la prima volta ed è stata una bellissima esperienza. Lo staff è molto professionale , la nostra guida era Franco davvero un'istruttore fantastico . Ha reso tutto semplice sicuro e divertente nonostante sul gommone ci fosse anche mio figlio che ha solo 5 anni.

Have to say the rafting experience was beyond our expectations. We have been to Costa Rica for rafting, must say this superseded our previous trips. Emanuele the owner was very professional and their guides “squadra” were fun and cheery. I went with my wife and son only 11 years old and he had a blast! 6 KM of rafting on Mont Blanc River Overall it’s a thumbs up for River Explorer! Wishing you guys successes ahead.

Jacob was a great guide and kept us all in the raft despite unusually high waters. The tour was very well organized and great fun. Just the right amount of adventure for a team bonding activity or family trip. Very enjoyable - and the view of the mountains was excellent. Would definitely recommend.

Was a wonderful experience, I went together with my daughter of 8 and she loved it a lot. The crew was really good and they made it a very exciting rafting experience!!!

Great experience! We were very late due to traffic but they were very helpful and we still got a full session of rafting in. Charming guides!

The company answered all our questions by email in a prompt manner both before and after we booked. We were a group of 5, all beginners and didn't know quite what to expect. We spent a memorable afternoon with our guide Mathias who patiently took us through all the safety procedures and accompanied us on two trips down part of the Dora Baltea river. Highly recommended!

On arrival and not planned we was greater with friendly staff who looked after us from start to finish,they were very professional and made us feel very welcome and safe throughout. The showers after was nice and hot and the price was good value without a doubt.Definetly use again if I was in the area.

Absolutely fabulous time!! Super well organised and great value for money too! Our guide Matteas was brilliant, had us smiling all the way through our brief and the whole time we were in the water. Can't recommend this place or the guides here enough, if I could give six stars I would !!!

(Translated by Google) My wife and I had a very good time with both the ski instructors and the very kind and professional school staff (Original) Io e mia moglie ci siamo trovati molto bene sia con i maestri di sci che con il personale della scuola molto gentili e professionali

(Translated by Google) We have been coming to ski in this place since our daughter was 2 years old, the instructors are particularly good with children, but also in single lessons with adults. Very convenient quality/price, uncontaminated natural landscapes, professional, kind and truly courteous staff. It's worth it! (Original) Veniamo a sciare in questo luogo da quando nostra figlia ha 2 anni , i maestri sono particolarmente bravi coi bambini , ma anche nelle lezioni singole con gli adulti . Qualità /prezzo molto conveniente , paesaggi naturali incontaminati , personale professionale , gentile e davvero cortese . Vale la pena !

(Translated by Google) During the Christmas period of 2016, our 4-year-old daughter did a three-day group show. Excellent experience. The class was followed by a teacher plus another companion, both patient and competent. The low costs, the very beautiful and easily accessible place even for those who, like us, come from the Valley, constitute the decisive plus. We recommend it. (Original) nel periodo natalizio 2016 ns figlia di 4 anni ha fatto tre giorni di collettiva. Ottima esperienza. La classe era seguita da un maestro più altro accompagnatore entrambi pazienti e competenti. I costi contenuti, il posto molto bello e comodamente accessibile anche per chi, come noi, viene dalla Valle, costituiscono il plus decisivo. La consigliamo.

Our last day skiing in Chamonix Mont-Blanc. This ski resort has a beautiful view over the Algentiere glacier. We were blessed with beautiful weather all week though we were hoping for fresh snow.

Beautiful 360 degree view from the top of the mountain. It's definitely worth the climbing of the set of stairs.

Amazing views.

Wow. Amazing views.

North facing. Snow conditions are always the best here. Nice tree skiing near argentiere glacier.

Has great blues, and spectacular reds with views! There was a variety of choices for restaurants and places to rest!

Amazing place and cable car trip.....really worth it, breath taking views at the top

Fantastic experience, the sight and the history hidden underground😍Imagine how it were once upon a time 😲

Roman remains near Aosta Cathedral, small part of a what was a huge complex, forming part of a Roman Forum complex, with some impressive underground structures - archways, of the Augustan era. A clear example of ancient Rome's brilliant engineers. Recommended visiting, with an audio / visual presentation at the very end of the complex below, all at a reasonable price.

some time inside this underground space will take you to the early 1st c AD. Take a slow walk through this place and you will have an idea about the designers that lived back in the day. No English guide (use Grok for some help)

Hello 👋 It seems a long corridor mysterious, with music,you feeling emerged in a ancient era . By the way, that day was free ( it was a Wednesday,I don't know the very reason why)

I didn’t expect to much for something quite small but Romans have left quite huge amount of stone history … not much fir like 20min but still worth it

Stunning and a bit hidden. Very well preserved and maintained, very nice to visit on a hot summer day, very well made illustrative film playing on loop in italian and then English too. A must do.

Excellent attraction with a great video in Italian and French, very informative about the Aosta history and how the crypt was built. Particularly fascinating to see the CG reconstruction of the town. Entrance is paid for as part of the day pass from the tourist office at the Praetorian gate.

Very beautiful waterfall in a magical Alpine scenery. The entire Gran Paradiso National Park is amazing, and so is this piece. Even in September the waterfall was incredible, with a huge flow of water. We hiked for an hour to the Biolet Waterfall, not an easy route because of a steep climb but we managed. Plenty of parking at the beginning. Overall, very recommended.

Nice short hike. From the parking lot, take the left side trail that climbe up the hill to the last waterfall. From there, cross the bridge and go down to see the other waterfalls 9n your way back to the car.

Great and accessible waterfall in an amazing setting! The bar on top is outstanding

Great hike. Did the large loop to lake Loie, difficult climb so make sure you are fit enough to do this. The lake itself was cute, but the real deal is the views. Saw a marmot on some rocks on the side of the trail. Near the end of the hike appears a huge field with plenty of flowers (even in September!)

✨ The Lillaz Waterfalls are absolutely stunning and worth the visit if you are in the Cogne Valley. The walk to the falls is short, easy, and accessible, making it perfect for families, but you can also continue on longer trails if you enjoy hiking. The sound of the rushing water combined with the fresh mountain air creates a truly relaxing atmosphere. The waterfalls are divided into several tiers, so you can admire them from different viewpoints. In summer, the water sparkles beautifully under the sun, while in winter the frozen cascades are breathtaking. There are picnic areas nearby and the small village of Lillaz offers a few restaurants and cafés where you can stop after your walk. Parking is usually easy, though it can get crowded in high season. Overall, a peaceful and refreshing experience in nature—ideal for anyone looking to enjoy the beauty of the Aosta Valley. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nice easy trek to see waterfalls. You can park at Lillaz if you want half an hour walk or start the trek in Cogne, walk to Lillaz and then continue to waterfalls

Must see, really easy hike @nrcsint Instagram

Very good quality starters (cold cuts and cheeses) typical from Italy and Spain. We chose Pasta (very Well cooked) accompanied with an artisanal beer. Nice desserts and friendly staff. We loved it. Didn’t give 5 starts because the restaurant itself is not “wow”, just a simple cozy bottega. But food-wise definitely worth it!!

Had a wonderful lunch with the family today. I definitely recommend the cured meats and cheeses platters, as well as the tagliatelle with culatello and parmesan! But generally speaking we were satisfied with the food and wine. The location is cosy, especially the 'underground' area. Service is nice, and you can purchase most of the products you have enjoyed after eating (which we definitely have done!) - we will come back!

The food was amazing, we tried the cheese and ham plate, that was really good. Beyond that, we tasted the tagliatelle and the polenta that were excellent. But, unfortunately, our experienced was affected by one staff that didn’t treat us very welcoming when we tried to get a table in the restaurant.

Cosy undergroud seating area with big selection of wines. Great for apperrativo, amazing Prosecco

Delicious lunch here, a cute little 7 seat restaurant with wonderful local dishes and an amazingly inexpensive wines by the glass list. I only wish we had more of an appetite so we could have tried some of the meats and cheeses they had in their shop, but the tagliolini with butter, parm and white truffles was perfect, and the polenta in the La Carbonade was one of the best I’ve had!

A little pricey and they won't serve you tap water : you have to buy an expensive bottle. Other than that, great food and nice staff!

Amazing food and wine plus 10/10 service - our favourite meal of the week hands down. If you are in Aosta this is a must!
