Tignes

Serre Chevalier has built a cult reputation amongst snowboarders. A natural playground of open bowls, gullies, hits, trees and man made terrain parks, it's not hard to see why. That said, with 250km of piste, two thirds of which are tree lined, north facing slopes to suit all standards, it's surprising it hasn't attained the same popularity with skiers.

In fact it has, with French skiers, but the British overlook it in favour of the Tarentaise resorts. It may be a longer drive from the UK. It has had some erratic snow falls over recent years but historically Serre Chevalier holds the snow well and has increased its snowmaking on the lower slopes significantly in recent years.
