Méribel

The Best of Méribel’s Ski and Après Ski Scenes

31 August, 2016

Its largely British demographic and its thriving multicultural community give it a uniquely welcoming atmosphere, without losing that easy intimacy and relaxed après scene common to the very best Alpine resorts. Méribel’s high altitude is another reason it’s so highly regarded.

La Clusaz

The Low Down on La Clusaz for All the Family

26 August, 2016

After visiting plenty of ski resorts throughout the years, I can say that it is unfortunately common for the little villages around which these resorts were born and developed to eventually – but inevitably – lose their charm and become an impersonal row of streets leading up to the slopes.
