Ski resorts with the best views: Any resorts that overlook the Mont Blanc, but special mentions have to go to Les Arcs, specifically the Aiguille Rouge viewing platform, and Les Saisies!

Yulia

Assistant sales and reservations manager

A French Alps hidden gem I think everyone should visit is: Montgenèvre - it has great pistes for all types of skier, plus you can ski over the border into Italy! 

Years at Peak Retreats: 15 years

Jess

Sales and reservations consultant

My favourite childhood memory is: Every Christmas, me and my family dress up and go skiing. We have a different theme every time, but my favourite was when we all dressed up as Christmas trees! 

Learned to ski aged: 3 years

Harry

Sales and reservations consultant

Go-to mountain drink: It has to be a pint of French beer! Even better if it’s from a local brewery.

Years at Peak Retreats: 4 years

Tim

Sales director

Go-to mountain food: Can’t go wrong with a classic Tartiflette!

Years at Peak Retreats: 9 years

Laura

Administration and ticketing assistant

My favourite mountain food is: Tomme Cheese, which is produced in the Alps. It melts easily so it’s great with meals like raclette. My favourite way of having it is as an aperitif with charcuterie, crackers, grapes and a glass of wine! 

Years at Peak Retreats: 10 years

Mandy

Administration assistant

One piece of ski gear I can’t live without is:  A good base layer – thermals and a warm pair of socks are key to keeping warm whilst out on the slopes! 

Learned to ski aged: 26 years

Jack

Client services and product assistant

Most challenging slope I’ve skied: The Marmottes piste in Courchevel. I was following colleagues and didn't find out it was a red until afterwards. Having not skied a red before, I considered that a conquest!

Alison

Managing director

My top tip for people booking their first ski holiday is: Choose a resort with a variety of runs, so you can progress throughout the week. Also look at activities beyond skiing – I’ve loved trying snowshoeing, zipwires and watching ice hockey!

Lyndsey

Web content and systems manager

Funniest ski memory: On a team trip to Les Arcs, I clipped into my skis in deep snow to get on the chairlift, but halfway up I noticed I was missing a ski! I hopped off at the end and waited for another skier to bring it up.

Nicola

Marketing director

My favourite piste in the French Alps is: the Guy Périllat blue piste in La Clusaz – it has beautiful views over the reservoir, and down into the valley.

Hollie

Social media & email marketing executive

My favourite mountain moment is: Conquering my first blue run on our team trip to La Rosière. Once I found my ski legs, cruising down the slopes with those incredible views hooked me completely.

Matt

Digital marketing executive

The ski resort I think has the best views is: Chamonix. With the Mont Blanc and the Aiguille du Midi, there's plenty of breath-taking sights!

Abi

Head of purchasing and product

Favourite resort: Les Arcs due to the fantastically linked and varied ski area. There is something for everyone and despite its popularity never feels too crowded. I may be a little biased as I did two ski seasons there in the early 2000’s!

Years in the ski industry: 25+ years
