Have just returned from a fantastic weeks skiing in Champoluc. Clear blue skies, fantastic snow conditions which held up well despite the warm weather. The Hotel Relais was superb with fantastic staff and great spa facilities in the basement. Champoluc is a great resort for couples and families, although as mentioned previously, those seeking lively apres ski should look elsewhere. It was the first time that our children have skied, and by the end of the week they were both coming down easier red runs (there are limited blue options at the resort). For the record, we experienced absolutely no queues for lifts and gondolas, apart from the weekend when we did have to wait 3 minutes for the main four man chair on the Frachey side of the slopes - big deal! It was our second time to Champoluc and had several people say to us that they wish they had found the resort years ago!
Simply cannot wait to go back.
