Les Contamines is one of those hidden gems in the Alps. Very quiet, even in school holidays and excellent snow. Great for family and groups. Not extreme at all with plenty of wide open pistes, but also plenty of off piste if you know where to go. Add to that the fact you can take a little train ride over to Les Houches in the Chamonix valley for a cracking day out makes this a great place to stay.
