The slopes
Ski Information Beginners
A safe choice for the complete beginner, with good nursery slopes in each village. There are some good confidence building runs, such as the Grande Alpe at the top of the gondola above Chantmerle.
Ski Information Intermediates
Ski through the Parc National des Ecrins in some of the most glorious scenery in the French Alps, including the long red runs from the Prorel, Aiguillet and Eduits. At Bachas above Monetier, you'll find a wide choice of runs which zig-zag through the trees and Le Petit Alpe, Bois des Coqs and Grande Gargouille above Monetier are firm favourites for getting the adrenalin going. To end a day, Cucumelle is a fantastic long run back to Villeneuve from Bachas.

Ski Information Snowboarding
Recently discovered by boarders who revel in the cruising slopes ideal for wide carving turns. Good for experts as fabulous off-piste and the potential for powder. Half-pipe and board park.
