"Pesiey Vallandry has a perfect location in the Alps, with true doorstep skiing. Intermediates are extremely well catered for with a huge variety of runs from smooth cruising blues to challenging reds. The trees above Vallandry are great fun especially when it's chucking it down with snow and you can't see your way around the pistes."

Everything was very easy - the passes were sent to us before we travelled, and the skis we hired were just beside the main reception area. It couldn't have been simpler.
