Guide de la Station de Ski La Toussuire (Les Sybelles)

This is easily the worst resort we have been to. There are good reasons to go to France but none of them are met here.

Quality Slopeside accommodation: no, we had the best in terms of slope access and that was dubious, and the standard of service in the accommodation was abysmal.

Good modern infrastructure: no, too many old fashioned fixed chair lifts, only one of those with a magic carpet to speed loading, and the need to use drags.

Well laid out runs: not really, the northern section has very few skiers on it and the reason is plain if you try it, there are a lot of narrow runs, which should merit a grade increase.

And of course all of the bad things France always has to offer are here as well. Overpriced poor quality mountain eating, and poor customer service in general.

Corbier is far better but you may have to get the bus there, as the links do not lend themselves to beginners or low intermediates, especially if the weather is poor.
