Our Favourite Destinations for the Winter Season

Alpe d’Huez

“Something for everyone; great for area beginners and families alongside the longest black run in Europe, and more for the advanced skier. Plus, a pretty good chance at bluebird days!”

Alpe d’Huez sits atop white clouds of snow at a respectable 1,860m. It is known as l’ile au soleil, or the ‘island in the sun’, due to the 300 sunny days it receives on average per year.

Worry not about the snow, however! This beautiful high site was specially chosen to host a purpose-built ski resort precisely because it offers the ultimate winter sport combination of snowy nights and sunny days.

Méribel

“Nestled in the centre of the Three Valleys, Méribel is a skier’s paradise renowned for its incredible location and traditional Alpine chalet-style buildings. There are lots of lively bars and restaurants, including the famous Folie Douce.”

Méribel is the convivial warm heart of the legendary Three Valleys ski area. The resort makes for a perfect base to explore these world-class mountains but also holds its own in the big league of must-ski destinations.

Chances are you will already know Méribel skiing, the British legacy here runs deep. The resort was conceived by Colonel Peter Lindsay in 1938 and is a prime example of a well-planned purpose-built ski resort thanks to strict building regulations and a solid and ongoing investment in its mountain infrastructure and eco-credentials. Add to this the array of apres-ski activities and the fantastic nightlife and you may find yourself gravitating back to this resort year after year – and you wouldn’t be alone.

Les Arcs

“Les Arcs is a perfect option for a mixed-ability group ski holiday. And, if you’re after nightlife, you’ll find plenty of parties to choose from in Arc 1800.”

Les Arcs forms part of the Paradiski ski area which also includes La Plagne and Peisey-Vallandry. Lovers of Les Arcs may have many superlatives to describe it, but one that everyone will agree on is definitely ‘unique’. This applies to everything from the unique design of the four high-altitude villages, Arcs 1600, 1800, 1950 and 2000, to the resort’s eco-credentials. These include a funicular linking Arc 1600 to the town of Bourg Saint Maurice at the bottom of the mountain.

Described as a ‘time-capsule of imaginative Modernist Seventies architecture’, Les Arcs accommodation includes sloping corridors, staggered balconies and buildings that curve in sympathy with the mountains. Arc 1950, built only a few years ago by American company Intrawest, has been described as an alpine Disneyland. Overall, it offer great access to the skiing pretty much wherever you are staying.
