We tell you more about all aspects of the resorts<\/strong> to help you find your ideal ski destination.<\/p>\n

We share our experiences on the lifts and the pistes, restaurants and ski village<\/strong>. Our practical information<\/strong> sections give you ideas about where to stay and what to do.<\/p>\n

For skiers with a disability, our resort handiski guides<\/strong> will help you choose where to go.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

We rate it (or we don\u2019t)<\/h2>\n

So far we’ve skied over 60 ski areas in France alone. That kind of insight allows us to rate what they offer, honestly and objectively.<\/p>\n

\"hearts-sample\"<\/p>\n

There are no bad resorts but no perfect ones either – it’s all about finding what’s best for you.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n

At A Glance<\/h2>\n

In a hurry? Our in-profile<\/strong> section tells you important stuff at a glance, from the type of resort to what we think of the village and scenery. <\/p>\n

Or, Dig Deeper<\/h2>\n

Read our insight<\/strong> article giving blow-by-blow accounts of our experiences \u2013 how we got around, what lifts we took, some favourite pistes plus best viewpoints and places to stop for lunch.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n

Our images are unique, too<\/h2>\n

See all aspects of the ski resort exactly as we experienced it, with images taken by MountainPassions Editor and travel photographer Roger Moss.<\/p>\n

We won\u2019t use 3rd-party tourism shots unless we hit unworkable weather conditions. If that\u2019s what happened, then we\u2019ll say so. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n

Independent? <\/h2>\n

We\u2019re experienced media pros, but we travel independently and we work hard to discover each resort as any other skier would.<\/p>\n

For us, though, it\u2019s no holiday, so to make our work possible we need some support.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re grateful to award-winning specialist ski tour operators Peak Retreats<\/a> and Ski Collection<\/a>, who select typical mid-range resort accommodation for us to sample.<\/p>\n

Wherever we stay, we\u2019ll tell you exactly what we thought, and what to expect.<\/p>\n

We thank local Tourist Offices and lift companies for help with lift passes, etc.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We tell you more about all aspects of the resorts to help you find your ideal ski destination.
