I adore the sea. I try to go to the seaside every summer on my vacation. I’ve been to many countries and seas. Last summer I spent at the Mediterranean Sea in Italy. The sand is white, the water is clear. The whole view is fairylike. And when the sun sets or rises, my soul really flies. I forget about everything and feel as if I’m a part of the nature that participates in this sacred moment of beauty creation. But don’t think that I’m a mere dreamer. I found the way to save my money and get even pleasure from it. You simply rent a cottage or a flat instead of a room at the hotel. You can do it beforehand, looking for one at a special site (there’re many of them in the Internet), or you come at the place and search there. I usually book a flat; it’s much safer to my mind. I can add that for me living at a hotel was like being in a cage or in a greenhouse; I mean I couldn’t stop feeling a guest. But living in a local accommodation I was closer to the inhabitants and that helped me to understand them, their mode of life and their country better. So I hope if you try such a way of spending your holiday you’ll like it.

Located in the heart of a large circle dominated by 6 glaciers, Val Thorens is, at an altitude of 2300 m, the highest resort in Europe. Val Thorens, highest ski resort in Europe, is also the summit of the 3 Vallées, whose culminating point is the paule du Bouchet" at 3230 metres. Les 3 Vallées, largest Ski Resort in the world, offer you an exceptional range of landscapes and a great diversity of skiing, with very easy links between the different resorts. From the "Cime de Caron" among others, you have a direct access to the largest panoramic scenery in the Alps. Val Thorens is a top choice with its height, extent of slopes and easy access to the rest of the three valleys. Suitable for skiers of all levels; beginners can use the free lifts and progress to the gentle slopes above St Martin de Belleville. More challenging runs are accessed via the Funitel gondola which whisks over 3000 skiers and boarders per hour to the Peclet glacier. Even more adventurous runs are accessed via the cable car that takes you up to 3220m. The local Val Thorens runs are better suited to intermediates, but advanced skiers will relish the runs down from the Cime de Caron cable car. The fast Cascades chair services some good steep runs, but it’s the off piste that will appeal most. The run down from Peclet lift down to Meribel is fun, but it is essential that only the fit and those with a mountain guide should attempt this run as it has many hazards! The extent for intermediate skiing in the whole of the Three Valleys area is unbeatable. The local runs around Val Thorens offer the best slopes for the intermediate skier. Most of the runs are easy reds and challenging blues. It will take most intermediate skiers just 90 minutes to get across to Courchevel, which is at the far end of the ski area. Audacious intermediates should not miss the Combe du Caron runs, where the black is not the least bit intimidating, but instead is very wide and normally has good snow.
