Visitor Reviews of Le Mont-Dore
Chris Turner from France writes:
There is some really good skiing to be had here (Le Mont-Dore) and now the link with Super Besse is open there is some 90 kms of skiing.
There is a panoramic restaurant at the top of the telecabine, food is reasonable but the whole place needs renovation. There is also a restaurant at the bottom of the chair lift. When you cross over to Super Besse you will be surprised at the extent of the skiing available. There are plenty of restaurants and bars here all offering a good variety of tucker.
Overall, one of the most interesting and unknown ski resorts to the British public (6 day ski pass - 145 Euros, Meribel by comparison is 225 Euros, but of course you have access to the largest ski domain in the world).
