Traditionally, British skiers have flocked to the glitzier resorts of Meribel and Courchevel, but, as Bob Dylan used to sing, “the times they are a-changin’” and Les Menuires is now seen as a valid contender. It is certainly kinder on the wallet and overall is better value for money than its neighbours.
The last time I visited Val Gardena was during the summer where flowers of all colours decorated the lush green grass that carpeted much of the landscape. This time I was returning during the peak of the ski season and the Dolomites were covered with a thick snow blanket.
