Visitor Reviews of Besse Super Besse
Alex Huert from United Kingdom writes:
Due to my parents owning a chalet just down the road from Besse, I have skied at Super Besse (Besse Super Besse) for a number of years.
The resort has improved considerably over recent years with the introduction of snow cannons on most (if not all) pistes, a new chair lift and a new telecabine system opened at Christmas 2008 (this one runs even when it's windy).
Advantages of Besse Super Besse: lower than Alpine prices, access to Le Mont Dore (listed in the top 10 off-piste areas) when there is enough snow for the liason to be open, attractive medieval town of Besse near by.
Disadvantages at Besse Super Besse: weather can often be very bleak, white-outs and high winds are common, Super Besse is not high enough to have a glacier so there isn't a snow guarantee.
