Le Mont-Dore Previsioni Neve

I skied here for a season over 2008-2009. During the entire season I met 1 English family so it really is undiscovered to the UK market. It is, however, my favourite ski resort of all those I have visited, whether in the Alps or the Dolomites or elsewhere. Of course, it is small, is difficult to get to from the UK due to the lack of flights to Clermont Ferrand, needs a bit of TLC when it comes to accommodation, is fairly low etc but what it lacks in these areas it more than makes up for in a relaxed charm and good skiing. On a good day you can be skiing in powder with no-one else around in the most dramatic scenery; not like the Alps but with a distinctive allure- it is the only place I have skied into an extinct volcano half pipe and witnessed a misty morning rainbow brockenspectre looking from the super besse ridge down into Le Mont Dore. Breathtaking. It is also cheap as chips; the least inexpensive ski resort I know.
