If you are looking to take your family, a group of friend or just your other half to an affordable winter destination; look no further as I have done the research for you and come up with two excellent candidates: Le Pelvoux and Puy Saint Vincent. These two towns are the home of some very attractive family ski resorts and are to be found in the southern area of the Hautes Alpes departments in France. Both located in the Parc Nationals des Escrins, one of the nine national parks in France, Puy Vincent and Pelvoux have the great advantage of being accessible to visitors from all walks of life, and especially to families and groups as it is very easy there to find some great deals to rent chalets, apartemnts and hotel rooms. Basicaly, all types of accommodations are on offer and tend to come at extremelly competitive prices. As it goes, Pelvoux is considered to be the cheapest ski resort in France, and possibly the one of the least expensive in the whole of Europe where you’ll be able to spend this 2011 winter holidays arrowing down the ski slopes. The beauty about these two resorts is that, despite that fact that they are low cost, they will provide you with all the benefits that a bigger and more reputed resort might have to offer.Skier and snowboarders alike will be able to test their abilities on ski pistes that cover all levels of difficulties; from green to black, along with off piste and cross country trails to satisfy all. Sledgers too are in for a treat as the lower part of Pelvoux, for example, has an area totally dedicated to the pleasure of sledging.Moreover, you are advised to get the 7 days Galaxy ski pass, available in and for both resorts, which will give you the possibility and luxury to ski in 6 other neighbouring resorts. Each visitable once within the 7 days period following the purchase of the card.Another good piece of news is that you might not have to purchase the ski pass as Mountvacation.com has arranged some special deals in Pelvoux and Puy Saint Vincent wich will see you get the Galaxy skipass for free as part of their great winter offers. Alternatively, if you do not opt to go for these special offers, you can still get the Galaxy skipass at reduced prices, provided you book your accommodation with MountVacation.And finally, if you like to ski but cannot go without the crazy partying that goes along with it, Puy Saint Vincent is then the perfect candidate to provide you with the entertainment as this year’s animation will include the Snow attack Festival, an international music festival and the Forma Free Ride. More than enough, I should think, to attract you down the slopes of Puy Vincent and Pelvoux.
I write articles about travel, music and gambling. I now compile articles for http://www.mountvacation.com/en/, a website that specialises in mountain holidays accommodations and packages for hundreds of European destinations. Some of my others articles can be found at http://zellamseehotels.spruz.com/, although it only represents a small portion of what I have been writing so far.
