Morzine

Morzine is such a popular destination with English-speaking skiers that it has its own English-language magazine, Yodel. It comes out every month and provides a good rundown of what's going on in the resort, alongside quality articles, interviews, and photos. Plus, it's put together by locals who live at Morzine year round, so they really know the place. It's been so successful that the small British publishing team has even launched Yodel Les Gets and Yodel Avoriaz. Check out their website for a list of places where you can pick up a copy.

Another good thing to know about is the YouCanSki programme, aimed at beginners. There's no point in paying for a pass that covers the entire ski area when you want to ski just a few easy slopes and this package offers beginners a cheaper choice. For 269 euros, you get six half-day lessons, gear hire, and a lift pass. Morzine is a prime choice in terms of slopes if you are just learning, and now there's a special package that lets you get the most out of the gentle terrain.

If you just want a few lessons, try the Mint Snowboard School or the British Alpine Ski School, both of which specialize in English-language lessons and have consistently positive reviews.
