How to choose a resort - Slopes

Beginner

Choose a resort that is recommended for beginners. Has the ski school got a good reputation? Can the teachers speak English? Are the nursery slopes in the sun? Are they close to the resort? Don't go to a resort with scores of advanced runs, as you'll be paying for facilities you can't use.

Intermediate

Is there a good range of suitable runs? Does the resort cover a large ski area? How many lifts are there? Do they link to adjacent valleys?

Advanced

Is there a sufficient range of skiing to keep you happy for the whole holiday? Does the ski pass let you try other nearby resorts? Is there any good off-piste skiing? Does the resort over-groom the slopes?
 

Piste maps are a good starting point when you are choosing a ski area. Extensive pupose-built French resorts, such as those in the Three Valleys (above right), offer more variety than a smaller Andorran resort like Port Ainé (above left), but at a price.
