Les Menuires, France

Stayed in Reberty in Feb 05. A satellite village just up the hill from Les Menuires main resort and much more 'sympathique' than the concrete jungle of Les Menuires itself. We had absolutely fantastic accommodation, real ski-in, ski-out chalet with SilverSki, even included a hot tub to rest the weary legs. Wonderful to ski right back to the garage door at the end of the day and it's so high up (just above 2000m) that even the last run had delightful snow and no horribly icy bits for tired legs.
Three Valleys skiing is phenomenal if you just like to cruise and cover lots of ground. Potential for completely different terrain and views every single day you go out. We had great snow so were able to ski all the way down to St Martin de Belleville which was a first in three holidays in this area. La Masse had superb snow, as did the fourth valley which has a couple of fantastic long runs and was virtually deserted by 3 o'clock in the afternoon (everyone is obviously panicking about getting back to base before the lifts close!)
Can't recommend this place highly enough, 6 days of superb sunshine following a huge dump of snow on the weekend we arrived. Has to be the best ski holiday ever!
