Great skiing here at Notre Dame de Bellecombe, this largely unknown resort to UK skiers- much better than Les Houches, for example, and 7 euro a day cheaper. Lots of good intermediate skiing on mainly NE facing slopes that preserve the snow well and are quiet with no lift queues. Good link from Praz d'Arly, bit of poling required to get to the Praz d'Arly skiing from NDB. Close i.e. about 30 minute drive from Les Contamines, Megeve, Mont d'Arbois. The great skiing of Megeve Le Jailet accessed from La Giattaz, La Clusaz Areches and even the Chamonix valley. Fabulous scenery with the Mont Blanc, the Tarantaise and the Aravis spectacular from up top. Charming, quite village with all the facilities one requires except nosiy bars. Clientele at Notre Dame de Bellecombe is mainly French young families with pre-school children and their grandparents and the family dog.
