French pistes rule again
Article Abstract:
France remains popular with British skiers, despite competition from destinations such as Italy and the US. The French resorts are undoubtedly the best for Alpine skiing, and France offers a wide range of resorts in terms of size and facilities. At Val d'Isere, for example, there is an extremely large ski area and 98 lifts, while the Pyrenees still offers small-scale village skiing, where the atmosphere is very different from the large, purpose-built resorts.
