As a previous commentator has mentioned, l'Alpe d'Huez is pretty hard to beat as a starting point for the criteria you mentioned, though I would seriously question the comment that it is cheap! Also consider whether you want a package holiday or want to organize your own. If the latter, then many more resorts come into play.

I'm not sure anyone said it was cheap. I used the phrase "cheaper than normal for France" and certainly is when you compare it to val, 3 valleys, and other popular ski areas.

Not sure if that's true - Ive never been to ADH in winter but the Where to Ski and Snowboard Resort price index has it at 100 - the same as Val d'Isere and Val Thorens (Meribel is 110 and Courchevel 120)

Didn't find it too expensive when we were there. That was in 2004 mind you, and I think the area has gained a fair bit of kudos since then. That generally gives the 'boogers' an excuse to put up the prices :evil: . I imagine we are talking about costs in resort as there seems to be some decently priced packages.
