Latest Offers - The Resort Report - Win a Holiday - New Airports

I was feeling a little anxious awaiting the coach for Brides Les Bains. I soon relaxed after a few plastic cups of wine watching the movie. The coach ride was really comfortable and  it didn't seem as long as I expected. Paul our driver kept us all entertained with his refreshments and a raffle draw!

We arrived at the hotel greeted by our rep Tiffany, we skipped the full English and had the continental breakfast, then followed by a quick change and straight up the mountain in a bubble. We had amazing snow conditions I couldn't have asked for more. Fresh snow, blue skies and empty runs. My boyfriend Andy was a beginner snowboarder. As I've worked four ski seasons I thought I'd take it upon myself to give him some lessons, not a good idea, I was in hysterics the whole time watching him roll down the mountain. None the less Meribel is the perfect resort for beginners. The Altiport area is full of lovely green runs, where as blue runs are endless throughout the valley. You can also avoid those dreaded drag lifts and horrid descent from chair lifts as there are loads of gondolas which makes the learning to snowboard experience even more enjoyable.

After a hard day on the mountain we enjoyed a few jugs of beer in the famous Rond Point followed by a slightly wobbly run back into Meribel . The hotel had organised a later shuttle bus from Meribel to Brides Les Bains so we could all sample some Apes ski. Our day was rounded off with a very tasty three course meal, some Vin Chaud and an early...ish night.

I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of skiing you get during a weekend break, it really is go hard then go home....
