🌟 ALTERNATIVE SKI DESTINATION SUGGESTIONS - France is famed for its world class ski areas, but there's more to discover beyond the big names. Think charming, under-the-radar resorts with easy links to vast slopes, a slower pace and plenty of authentic alpine appeal. ❄️

🏂 Brides-les-Bains - A hidden gem in the Three Valleys, Brides-les-Bains blends peaceful charm with superb ski access. Ride the gondola to Méribel, then return to soothe tired legs in its renowned thermal spa, before doing it all again.

⛷ Montalbert - For a quieter Alpine escape, Montalbert delivers charm without compromise. Ski gentle, tree-lined runs or head higher in minutes, then swap pace for snowshoeing, husky rides and peaceful village life.

🏂 Vaujany - Tucked away near Alpe d'Huez, Vaujany feels a world apart with its chalet charm and quiet appeal. Glide up to vast high-altitude skiing, then unwind with relaxed drinks or easy-going evening fun back in the villlage.

⛷ Samoëns - Picture-perfect Samoëns brings cobbled streets and laid-back charm together with great skiing. Enjoy quiet, beginner-friendly slopes, then venture further with easy links across the Grand Massif.

🏰 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁-𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘆

✨ Say 𝘣𝘰𝘯𝘫𝘰𝘶𝘳 to winding coastlines, storybook towns and one truly iconic island. Picture yourself wandering the cobbled streets of Dinan, soaking up the atmosphere within the walls of charming St Malo, and catching that first breathtaking glimpse of Mont Saint-Michel rising from the sands.

🌅 From leisurely days in beautiful Vannes to coastal escapes like Concarneau and Quimper, every stop brings its own little slice of Brittany magic. It’s the kind of trip that feels like stepping straight into a postcard… with plenty of time to enjoy every moment.

🇫🇷 If France is calling, it's hard to ignore ...

🇮🇹 Many thanks to Mariam from Typically Holidays for providing a fantastic second breakfast for the Gates Travel staff, and interesting training session this morning (during which even the most well travelled and experienced of us learnt something new about Italy) ... and did we mention the food! 🍝

Although Italy is their specialist area they are equally knowledgeable about Spain, and arrange European city breaks and special occasion trips including music and sports events
