February this year will be my third year on the trot! That in its self, should speak volumes!..

I am taking my 2 boys (aged 10 and 8) for their second year! Last year was their first and taking them alone, I wanted to pick somewhere I knew they would be well looked after. I didn't want to be worrying about them when I wasn't around! Having been the previous year I had no doubt as to the level of care they would receive!

Elizabeth didn't take her eyes off them for a minute and WANTED to take them to lunch! Its all in the price!!

The hotels are more than adequate. The food good and plenty full! As is the free bar!!

The bit that really makes the holiday such great fun and fantastic value is the SKI SCHOOL! No wonder it is as highly rated as it is! You could not meet more genuine, friendly people! People who you realise, after a short time, are not out to make money out of you but genuinely enjoy what they do. "come and have a drink with us tonight" "we will get you back to the hotel".

If you book a trip they are happy to fit in your ski school round it so you don't miss any ski time!

Private lessons £10 per hour. I only booked 1 hour but it lasted 2. He said he had nothing on that afternoon!....

Negatives?? - well if you are an advanced skier, looking for lots of piste or want to brag about where you are going then it's not for you!

If you want a great time, fantastic value for money then it's definitely worth a go!
