Expert Advice
"A high altitude, fun and friendly resort, the ultimate example of a ‘great-all-rounder’."

Glorious sunshine, clear blue skies (except when it’s snowing) and mile after mile of varied slopes to explore; this popular resort is set on a high plateau in the Grande Rousses area of the Southern French Alps.

Renowned for its sunshine record & excellent lift system opening up extensive skiing and boarding options. Expect great snow conditions here due to the altitude, glacier and snowmaking facilities. This ski area has something to challenge all abilities from long and taxing black runs to the open green & blue beginner slopes.

One of our top ten resorts for families, the facilities and off slope activities offered here are as varied as the slopes themselves. There is a good selection of cafés, bars and restaurants to suit every taste and budget and the lively après-ski can continue well into the early hours in the handful of clubs on offer. Above all a high altitude, fun and friendly resort, the ultimate example of a ‘great-all-rounder’.

Chalet Altiport provided one of the best locations and facilities we have enjoyed in many years of ski holidays. Piers (chef) and Kim were excellent hosts.
