Found Pra-Loup by searching for a resort that wasn't popular with Brits. And true to it's word we were the only British voices we heard all week
The skier was good for intermediate skiers and boarders, and there were some good restaurants on the mountain.
And being so far south, the temperature was good and plenty of sunshine

Lovely place, my family and I went during busy season so the slopes were very busy. Slopes also had more icy bits than I expected and with it being busy it was a little difficult to manage sometimes. However, it is beautiful, the restaurants are wonderful, and the instructors are quite helpful. I think it's a very good place to go when it isn't very busy (we went New years week). I hope this helped, enjoy your trip!!

We came with a college trip and it was my first time skiing our ski school teacher was amazing and progressed us all onto blue and red slopes within a few days!!
We stayed at chalet les blancs, as showers were used at the same time by all of us on the trip they sometimes ran cold

Good resort, slopes were decent but food and board in our hotel was poor. Ski school was excellent however some other groups had poor instructors.
