We looked long and hard before settling on Les Carroz.
Perched on a sunny plateau 15 minutes off the A40 motorway and only one hour from Geneva International Airport, Les Carroz cannot be beaten for ease of access.
Add to that the charm of a living village, a bustling weekly market, lively bars and an eclectic range of restaurants.
Then consider the skiing; part of the Grand Massif ski area, you'll be pushed to do justice in a week to the variety of skiing offered over the six linked resorts. Quality mountain restaurants are a special feature and off-piste opportunities abound.
The village administration and lift company are forward looking and innovative; a rolling programme of improvements has seen new car-parking, lifts and extensive snow-making guaranteeing a skiability record the envy of much larger and more expensive neighbouring resorts.
The 'family feel' allows a personal touch across crèche, ski-schools and equipment providers – we can't say there will never be problems but we can guarantee any will be speedily and sympathetically resolved.
