A great ski company with charismatic villages and a slice of rural France.
For those looking for an authentic French experience in a genuine mountain town then Villard de Lans is a great choice.
The resort itself is home to a lycee (college) that's renowned for its sport so the town has an ice hockey team, a good public swimming pool with flumes and different pools.
There was also a sense that this is a town that loves its food. A brilliant local farm shop, an organic social entreprise bakery and lots of great restaurants were testament to this.
This would be a good choice if you want to experience lots of different things - a bit of skiing, go to see some ice hockey, have a swim, shop at the market, eat great food, explore the town, try cross-country skiing in Correncon... because the slopes are a little way from the centre, it feels more like a French winter holiday destination than a ski resort.
The ski area felt distinctly different to other areas of the Alps. The landscape isn't dominated by high surrounding peaks, so you feel on top of the world. There are slopes that meander past rocky outcrops and pretty tree lined areas.
