Huge area linked with Tignes, with runs for all
standards
+
Some of the best lift-served off-slope runs in the world
+
High altitude means snow is more or less guaranteed
+
Wide choice of schools, especially for off-slope lessons and guiding
+
Wide range of package holidays and accommodation
+
For a high resort, the town is attractive, very lively at night,
and offers a good range of restaurants
+
Slope grooming and staff attitudes have improved noticeably

-
Slope grading
understates the difficulty of many runs,
though bumps on greens now uncommon
-
You're quite likely to need the bus at the start or end of the day
-
Most lifts and slopes are liable to close when the weather is bad
-
Runs to valley level often tricky
-
High season crowds on some runs
-
Still some lifts in need of upgrading
-
Main off-trail slopes get tracked out very quickly
-
Not the most distinctively French of French resorts
-
Disappointing mountain restaurants
