Ski Resort Reviews

The Portes du Soleil is a vast ski area that spans over France and Switzerland. Mark Barber takes a look at the smaller French resorts of Les Gets and Chatel.

Snowboarding in the ski resort of Myrkdalen, Norway. A micro modern resort with queue-free ski lifts,empty slopes and fantastic off-piste!

A luxury winter retreat near Sierra Nevada, Granada, Spain. An incredible 6 floor villa near the stunning city of Granada.

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.
