Firstly, the range of accommodation available is fantastic, with options for every budget, while the excellent range of bars and restaurants make it easy to sit back and relax after a day on the slopes.

Les Gets is the perfect resort for those looking for a family friendly holiday. With the majority of skiing in a bowl, blue, red and black runs are all side by side, so those of differing abilities can choose their runs, and meet safely at the bottom by the lifts without the worry of losing anyone! Top tip - Mont Chery is a little-visited gem, with long sweeping runs with no-one to be seen. Although known to be a quieter resorts, there is still plenty of nightlife, with Bar Bush and the Irish Pub, along with the infamous Igloo nightclub.
