Reliable, accessible, great value and packed with activities – Sam Haddad shares why she keeps returning to the French Alps year after year with her husband and sons

The questions usually start towards the end of summer. “Can we go skiing again next year? Please?” And before I have a chance to answer: “Which resort are we going to go to?”

My sons – aged 12 and 14 – are lucky enough to have been skiing in the French Alps most years since they were young. And if you asked them, or my husband and I for that matter, we’d all say these winter trips have been our most memorable and happy times as a family.
