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. -

Hi, I skied for many years in the Alps at many different resorts including over 30 weeks at La Plagne. I have brought a house in the Auvernge and Besse is 1 one hours drive away. Myself and my family, including a snow boarder, were pleasently surprised at the quality of the slopes. The runs are rather short but good fun up to intermediate level. 1 day lift pass 20 euro, ski hire and drink/food good value buy this a lot cheaper than the Alps. If you are driving to the south of France down the N75 during the winter stop for a ski.
