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 .

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.

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

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

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!

Absolutely fantastic, breathtaking place!

Closed -check the hours on line.Still had a nice walk on the ramparts.Theres .pleny of parking,great views.

They should open this place. No you can go only around. That's way i give two stars

Epic place with intresting sights and feelings around the place and stunning scenery.

This historical castle/fort is well worth the visit. We got in for free and got to see most of the highlights. However there are options to see even more with a paid guided tour.

The fortress is well kept, with a beautiful view on the valley. Only one side is open for free, if you wish to visit everything you have to pay for the guide.

Majestic fortress overlooking the ancient Via Roma. Guided tour is excellent. Rich history. Many cultural events held here now.

Lovely beach on the side of lake Annecy. Quieter than some of the others. Shade under trees and great cafe. Easy (paid) parking.

Best beach I could find around lake Annecy. There is lots of shade, grass, toilet, small restaurant, little stream and more. The water is amazing especially when it's so hot. There were 3 lifeguards which was great. Recommend!

Such a little gem. Appears it's well known by the locals. You have the options of relaxed in the lake waters which was quite warm, or for younger children then can play in the nearby stream that helps feed the lake. You also have a small cafe that is reasonably priced for snacks and drinks. You can easily spend the whole afternoon here

Amazing lake .so beautiful .crystal clear water and mountains by the side .must give it a visit .we really enjoy this tour .must try the coffee over there with beautiful lake .loved it .highly recommended

Great beach to swim and paddle board from. Shade available from trees if needed and small bar / restaurant open all day. However above all a fantastic view.

We came in the summer of 2024, there are many visitors but still tolerable. The beach is beautiful and free/gratis. Some reviews said that it's a paid beach but we did not pay anything. It's also a supervised beach by guardians. The closest parking is a paid parking but we found another parking which was free, only 10 mins by walk. There is a small bar to buy drinks/food. Free toilets are also available near the area.

It is one of the most beautiful beaches in the Alps. The view, the water, the shade from the trees, perfection.

A small corner of town with reminders of the Roman history of Susa or Segusio as it was called in Roman times. The arch looks splendid

Lovely area to wander round - views of mountains and town. Small park with statues.

Good for a quick stop to check arch out but nothing much around it. The town however is pretty cool to check out.

Great architecture of Roman empire. One of must see in Susa.

Very cool place to visit. The ancient door leading into Gual.

Hella Ballin, I gotta day arguably the best arch in all of Susa, I got a boaner every time I walked under it as I’m sure Octavius Augustus himself would have wanted and relished were he here

If Susa is a crown, the arch is her crown jewel.

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...

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.

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 had such an amazing experience today with Boris, James and all the team. Safe but so much fun. Really good instruction (in English too) If you’re looking for a brilliant white water rafting experience this is it. We had so much fun in the boat but also jumping in from 6 meters or less if you prefer, floating down the river and even a beer at the end. Brilliant day! Book it!

(Translated by Google) Great discovery of hydrospeed in a magnificent setting! Be careful, it's sometimes quite impressive with fairly strong currents where you can drink good cups and turn around 🌊. Our instructor (Elie) took the time to brief us well. Thank you again for the welcome from the whole team 👌🏻 (Original) Belle découverte de l’hydrospeed dans un cadre magnifique ! Attention c’est parfois assez impressionnant avec des courants assez costaud ou on peut boire des bonnes tasses et se retourner 🌊 . Notre moniteur (Elie) a pris le temps de nous bien nous briefer. Merci encore pour l’accueil de toute l’équipe 👌🏻

Thank you for everything (Original) Un moment incroyable en famille accompagnés par Louka un super guide ! Nous en avons pris plein les yeux et des sensations uniques pendant tout le parcours !! Merci pour tout

(Translated by Google) Friendly atmosphere. Boris is the best! A cool, friendly guy who shares his passion. The joy of seeing chamois along our way and an eagle's nest. The little extras are a plus, much appreciated. A big thank you for this moment of pure pleasure! (Original) Ambiance conviviale. Boris au top! cool sympa, qui partage sa passion. La joie de voir des chamois sur notre chemin et un nid d'aigle. Les petits services sont un plus, très appréciable. Un grand Merci pour ce moment de pur plaisir !

(Translated by Google) I had a fantastic experience at this rafting club. The staff all radiate enthusiasm and passion, and they know how to convey this to their guests. Some staff members can speak English perfectly. Parking is free in the vast grounds of the swimming lake, including right in front of the rafting club. Yes, rafting is expensive everywhere, but it's a fantastic experience. You'll be rafting with about 8 people in a boat on a river with good speed. Definitely not boring and not too rough, so it's also perfect for children. Note that it's for ages 8 and up, but it would actually be better for ages 10 and up. This is due to the force of paddling and the fact that you can sometimes bounce quite a bit (but still manageable!). You'll receive plenty of instruction, and there's a short break along the way so you can jump off a rock or swim for a bit. Our instructor, who speaks excellent English, shared our enthusiasm and deserves a compliment. This club is highly recommended! Afterward, you can relax on the beach or in the grass by the swimming lake. (Original) Fantastische ervaring opgedaan bij deze rafting club. De medewerkers stralen allen van enthousiasme en passie en weten dit ook over te brengen op hun gasten. Er zijn enkele medewerkers die zich prima in het Engels verstaanbaar kunnen maken. Parkeer kun je gratis op het enorme terrein van het zwemmeer, dus ook voor de deur van de rafting club. Ja raften is overal prijzig maar een geweldige ervaring. Je gaat raften met ca 8 personen op een boot in een rivier met prima versnelling. Zeker niet saai en niet te wild, dus ook nog prima voor kinderen. Let wel, het is vanaf 8, maar zou eigenlijk vanaf 10 beter passen. Dit in verband met de kracht van peddelen en dat je soms toch aardig (maar prima te doen!) kunt stuiteren met de boot. Je krijgt voldoende uitleg en met neemt een korte pauze onderweg zodat je nog kunt springen vanaf een rots of kunt drijvend zwemmen een stukje. Onze, overigens prima Engels sprekende, instructeur nam ons mee in zijn enthousiasme en verdient een compliment. Deze club is een aanrader! Nadien kun je heerlijk vertoeven aan het strandje of in het gras bij het zwemmeer.

The morning was great, with few people on the river, lots of excitement, and a very fun trip. The different guides we met were all super friendly. We had a great morning.

(Translated by Google) After a bad rafting experience, I wanted to try it again with Rêve d'eau… And I did well! They were able to reassure me before and during the trip. We did the family trip as a group, and everyone was delighted with the outing. A rafting trip with magnificent sensations and scenery. A top-notch team, very professional and very friendly. I recommend it and… I'll be back! Thanks again! (Original) Après une mauvaise expérience en rafting, j’ai voulu retenté l’expérience avec Rêve d’eau…. Et j’ai bien fait!

Une descente en rafting avec des sensations et des paysages magnifiques. Une équipe au top, très pro et très sympathique. Je recommande et… je reviendrai ! Encore merci

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

Skiiers, especially PARENTS! Be careful ESF is making money, they don't care about the customers. PARENTS! Be careful. Esf doesn't care about the children. We booked a lesson and my child was ill after that. They didn't want to cancel the lesson and only said that we should buy additional insurance. They don't understand the situation that somebody can be ill, especially children. ESF is making money at your cost without any customer-friendly policy. They don't care about the customer, especially children. Be careful. I suggest finding another school.

(Translated by Google) A huge thank you to the ESF des Saisies and mainly to Gilles who took care of my disabled brother for a week (2 hours/day). Always smiling, caring, patient... He adapted to his abilities and gave him self-confidence. Thanks also to Bérénice and Patrice from the Piou-Piou club who accompanied my 3-year-old daughter in discovering skiing. Smiles, warm welcome, funny & educational. It was perfect! 👍 Special mention also to the very attentive reception team and good advice. For these reasons, we will happily return (as soon as possible). Good luck and don't change anything ;-) (Original) Un immense merci a l'ESF des Saisies et principalement à Gilles qui s'est occupé de mon frère en situation de handicap pendant une semaine (2h/jour).

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 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.

Breathtaking mountain pass between Italy and France with a lake nearby ... great for a walk or hiking if weather is on your side

Empty and quiet as it closed earlier in the month we think. But beautiful with great views and lots of history - prehistory, Roman, medieval, WW2. Even great on a rainy day.

I very blessed full with this random tour and find great spot like Petit st Bernard. Must stop here and enjoy their coffee

Beautiful mountain pass on the French - Italian border with a good souvenier store.

Ancient old glacier sphere Valley. Wind blows through the majestic landscape. It is a border between Italy and France where you can enjoy a quiet scenery as there are not many tourists. Winter will be crowded with many skiers.

Most wonderful scenic road to crossing border between Italy and France. Once in a lifetime, that car from Bangkok can drive to here.

One of my favorite places to leave the car and go on a nice hike, you choose the time frame, loads of possibilities.

Amazing experience when you arrive at the third waterfall... 1.30 to 2 hours of hiking if you stop at each waterfall to take a photo :) The parking was a paid parking lot with 5 euros per day price but the machine was not working so no one paid! The bar was closed too when we arrived at the parking. But it was a wonderful experience.

Relatively easy walk to get to the falls, culminating with a quite spectacular bridge that crosses the water. It's worth closing the path down with the ring path so as to avoid doing the same way twice

Worth the hike to the third waterfall. Stunning views. Lots of places to stop and rest if needed. Options for looping back down the other side. Loved it

This trail, that crosses Rutor falls is just wonderful. Really astonishing, impressive and clean nature plus the hike is very easy. It crosses 3 falls and there are plenty options to go such as all the way up to Rifugio Albert Deffeyes. On this route after the amazing falls you will find a beautiful green and moist valley. After that, it goes up another 346 meters and you can have a great view to Mont Blanc and many glaciers and lakes near by. It's a very special hike in Aosta Valley. Absolutely recommended if you search for something technically feasible and a rich, fascinating environment as well.

One of the best footpath that you can do in La Thuile area, starting from la Joux the road is not so difficult, you don't need to be an expert climber but bring with you some water and a raincoat. The water shows is simply amazing especially at the 3rd waterfall. Recommended 👍👍👍

Really amazing. The falls are impressive. The hiking need to be prepared because is not so easy for the length and for the gradient. I suggest to take some water with you because till to the refuge is not possible to found any fountain. Take time to climb till the Deffeys refuge will pay you about the fatigue and the high gradient.

Incredible place after a good climb !

The ice cave is definitely worth a visit, The views are stunning, and the food is quite good and reasonably priced. If you plan to visit the ice cave, be sure to wear a jacket, as you may get wet.

A place where you can touch your imagination. Extraordinary spaces at your fingertips. A wonderful, one-of-a-kind place. Never the same.

Crowded but beautiful. Physically challenging, technically not so much. Still it's not a hike and you need mountaineering equipment!

Soaring above Mont Blanc 🏔️ with endless blue skies and snow-kissed peaks—pure magic for adventurers and dreamers! ✈️ #MontBlanc

Lovely day out . Beautiful place to visit. Stunning views. Although cable car is expensive and crowded.

The French Alps offer a breathtaking experience with towering peaks, charming villages, and unforgettable views. A cable car ride to Mount Blanc is magical, with a perfect blend of adventure and peace. Enjoy local treats like cheese cakes and beers at a restaurant on the first level. The view from the top is mind-blowing, making it a must-visit for skiing enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.

Beautiful mountain with cable car access over the massive from Italy to France.

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.

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

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.

The place is really beautiful, especially the flaine side. Amazing, with those views to Mont Blanc. Nice runs, if the snow is good then the ski experience is top. There were lots of people in the first week of march but we didn't have to wait for more than 5 min in any lift. Lifts are a bit slow I would say, but not a big deal. I really recommend this resort. Attached is a video of a black run, really fun (there is tons of blue runs also for a chilly ski)

Nice easy access to telecabine up to main ski area. Quite a lot of other lifts closed when I was there due to wind which cuts off access to the wider skiing areas of Flaine and makes return to Samöens difficult. However there is an excellent free bus service if you get stuck at other areas such as Morillon. So no need to panic!

Amazing place to spend your days. A bit crowded on holidays, but there's still a lot space to play.

We stayed with our family in Samoëns in August. A lovely town with lots going on in the summer. A very good market and a lake nearby with lots to do. The views alone are worth a visit and the mountains are all around you. Trips to Geneva and Chamonix are possible as well as nearer attractions. Lots of walks locally too.

The slopes were fantastic. It was icy initially but it snowed heavy for 2 days and made the skiing conditions great. Can walk out of the club med hotel and onto the slopes. Brilliant

What a gem this place is. Stayed in Les Carroz, but also skied Flaine. Would highly recommend it for new to intermediate skiers. I'm hoping to be lucky enough to visit again in the future.

Great resort for all abilities, close to Geneva and easily accessible via car or public transport. Ski canons provide snow coverage even in the worst of seasons. A number of ski touring routes are now open in all villages which are great. Also very family friendly resort with under 8 year olds ski for free!

One of the most beautiful botanic gardens I've seen. Laid out so naturally, including areas like an alpine meadow. A little bit wild but that's clearly intentional, as the gardener was editting the self-seeders when we were there. Plants are still labelled pretty well, which is great. It has an occasionally steep but smooth path to the top plus some brilliant off-the-beaten-track routes through some areas. And a few seats along the way for a breather, and views out to the mountains. Such an inspiration!

A beautifully maintained botanical garden showcasing plants from many regions across Europe and the Middle East. Suitable for both young and old, with scenic mountain views along the walking paths.

Lovely walk, nice flowers and scenery of the area. Walking distance from the city center.

AMAZING botanical garden stroll with so many nooks & crannies. A truly magical place!!

Love this place so peaceful...

Small but perfect little hike up the garden with beautiful views and small waterfalls. Kids will love it.

Beautiful place to walk around, learn and enjoy great views from the top. It's well taken care of and has a huge variety of plants. The entrance is free which makes it perfect!
