All the other participants were native English speakers whose accent in French was a little more difficult for me to understand.
Insider tip: Skiing with fantastic views of Mont Blanc and Dent Blanches & Midi.
Very well prepped, mainly medium/easy ski slopes.
The name "Portes du Soleil" proved to be true, 2 weeks of sunshine :-)
