Alpe d'Huez
Next time, I think I’ll skip the ski school. I found the group lessons a bit slow-paced, and I could've improved by just hitting the slopes with friends instead!
La Bresse
I suggest hitting the slopes around 9 AM to avoid the crowds. The morning vibe is so chill, and you get the best of the fresh snow before it gets too slushy.
I think it’s worth downloading a snow report app before your trip. It helped me plan my days better and I avoided some busy patches on the slopes.
Mont Blanc
I highly recommend checking out the local bakeries before hitting the slopes. Grab a few pastries and a coffee for breakfast—it’s not only delicious but way cheaper than buying food on the mountain. I found a great little spot called Pâtisserie Richard
Courchevel
if you're looking to save some cash, skip the fancy restaurants at the bottom of the slopes. there are great spots higher up with more affordable prices and amazing views. i loved the little cafés!
Meribel
If you’re planning to eat on the slopes, pack some snacks! The food prices at the mountain restaurants were insane. We learned the hard way, so definitely take some sandwiches with you.
