Val Thorens, France |
|
A
varied ski area for all types of skiing. There are 8 summits
over 3000 m (10,000 ft.) where both difficult and easy
skiing can be enjoyed. Skiers of all levels can be seen
making their way towards the peaks following the sun and
fully appreciating the breadth of the Val Thorens ski area.

They 'll be dropping names like the
Vallee Blanche, and Brevent, and oohing and
aahing about their ski instructor and how
patient and understanding he or she was
about their aggression and style, or lack of
same. So in this scenario you might also be
thinking that Chamonix is solely a
playground for beginners and those less
talented skiers.
Well the truth is dear reader that
Chamonix is all of the above. True, it is a
haven for "serious" skiers from all over the
world, who come and match their skills
against possibly the most testing pistes and
off pistes in the world.
Certainly these people are seriously
challenged by the offerings here, and many
would scoff at the suggestion that there are
other resorts in Europe with at least as
much variety and challenge. But on the other
end of the scale there are ample slopes for
those players among us who are, well, just
players. There are nursery slopes, ski
kindergartens, good intermediate slopes, the
lot.
