Then there"s the food. Ski holidays are often in resorts where the cuisine is excellent. This might be croissants and freshly baked bread plus fruit and yogurt for breakfast, followed by a cappuccino on a mountain top midmorning and then a delicious lunch, either in a restaurant or in the chalet. Most chalets even provide afternoon tea to keep you going until dinnertime.

Shopping is often extremely good with a variety of individual shops nearby. The evenings offer a wealth of bars, pubs and restaurants тЂ“ or you could eat in your own chalet and listen to the exploits of your family and friends who have been on their skis that day while you"ve been indulging yourself with less strenuous activities
