Great fun, you are given a sledge (with brakes of sorts), a helmet and a glow stick so you can spot the other sledgers in the dark as you hurtle down the slope, and are accompanied by ski guides to give you a push if you get stuck.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10984 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10983
You can eat traditional Savoyard specialities on the terrace or sit in a deckchair in the snow on a sunny day for a drink.

Good place to meet non-skiiers for lunch as you can reach it by the Pas du Lac cable car from Mottaret, and for learners there are lots of blue runs leading all the way back down to Méribel.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10983 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9883
This is truly the best ski area in the world. Without a shadow of a doubt. I chose Motterat in Meribel to highlight because it is slap bang in the middle of it all. The snow doesn't linger here as much as in Val Thorens but for ease of access to all three valleys you are on to a winner.

It really is time to forget about Chamonix, and its buses, and put the chaos of of Val d'Isere behind you. Les Trois Vallees is blazing ahead and leaving everyone waiting in the lift queue to follow its tracks.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9883
