Have an island-hopping adventure in the Hebrides, book a rural retreat in France or head to the Maldives… here are this week’s best value trips to book
In a Nutshell On a sunny day, the high valley of Tignes is an eye-wateringly beautiful place to ski: it’s only when the clouds come down that you’ll notice the hard-edged concrete buildings. Thank heavens its architecture is softening – a ski resort with world-class terrain like this deserves accommodation to match.
In a Nutshell The two lifts linking St Anton with Lech-Zurs created one of the most exciting ski areas in the Alps. But it didn’t fundamentally change St Anton’s appeal. This is where you go for steep slopes and off-piste adventures (in the company of a guide).
In a Nutshell Meribel sits in the middle of the famous 3 Valleys ski area, and is billed as one of the world’s best ski resorts for intermediates. But you need to be organised and informed to enjoy your skiing here: otherwise it could drive you nuts.
If you’re tired of the usual high-altitude, factory-skiing schtick; if you’ve grown out of full-throttle apres-ski; if you want your holiday to be somewhere French, as well as mountainous – then may we suggest Samoens? It’s a small, low-altitude, medieval town set in the valley beneath the Grand Massif skiing area, and we can’t think of another place like it.
It may be another of those fractured, purpose-built French resorts, but its high-quality terrain makes Les Arcs a canny choice for anyone on a budget. Intermediates, experts and freestylers will all like it – and many of its “villages” have improved, too.
In a Nutshell Many of Courchevel ‘s high rollers wouldn’t be seen dead in Les Menuires. More fool them. Much of the best on-piste skiing in the 3 Valleys is to be found here, and the eyesore architecture has kept prices far, far lower than they are in its neighbours.
