This region has an stunningly beautiful ski area which is extremely conducive to improvement. The ski school (ESS) is of a very high standard and the lifts are well linked.

NIGHT LIFE

Apres-ski is excellent here, informal and very good value with a traditional village boasting unpretentious and friendly restaurants - in fact one of the memories you will take away from here is how friendly everyone is.

Aprés-ski ranges from quiet informal cafes to lively bars with music and rock bands. There are bars for every taste, and discotheques with dancing until dawn, if you have the energy! Discotheques are free entry most nights, and they and the main bars offer a number of theme nights as well. Drinks prices are very good value for a top ski resort (only about £2 for a pint) and mountain restaurants are very reasonably priced. Restaurants vary from traditional pizzas from about £6, to American, Mexican, Chinese and of course the Swiss specialities. All food is of a very high quality. Why not try the famous Café du Centre, run by a Scot and with it's own brewery on site - great food as well!

• CHAMPÉRY has good novice slopes and the ski school has an exellent reputation. There are great runs at Planachaux where the ski school meets.

• The nursery slopes are at Planachaux, reached by a large cable-car - no drag lift in the morning!!!
  

INTERMEDIATES

• Les Portes du Soleil is Intermediate paradise! There are superb tree-line runs with great off-piste potential. You can really explore the jumps and fun areas of the region.

• 650kms of pistes await you - the largest ski region in the world!

ADVANCED

• CHAMPÉRY has access to some good challenging runs. Why not try the famous 'wall' at Chavanette or the great off-piste powder?
