Visitor Reviews of Les Marécottes - Salvan

Mike Hollingsworth from UNITED KINGDOM writes:

We skied at Les Marecottes for the first time last year and were utterly impressed. The resort is easily accessible - just minutes from the motorway, inbetween Verbier and Chamonix. While it's not a huge resort, the skiing is some of the best we've had. What struck us most was the lay-out of the pistes which ensured that our younger kids always skied past the restaurant terrace and there's no chance they'd end up who knows where. Our older boy had plenty of 'off-piste' to devour which is found right next to the lifts. There were no queues nor the mad morning rush after the snow fall. The village itself is untouched by development - no apartment blocks - something of a rarity. So, all this considered and knowing the kids were happy to get rid of us for a change, gave us the peace of mind we needed (and earned!). Well worth looking into. MH
