The skiing and snowboarding terrain on La Meije is not for the faint hearted. This is no cozy family resort with ski kindergarten, gently sloping blue runs and après ski in pink bunny suits. No this resort is for experts only, well almost only as there isn’t really anything for the less accomplished bar a couple of short runs up top. I wasn’t being entirely truthful there because there is actually a ski kindergarten along with a traditional ski school and several green and blue runs on offer at the neighbouring villages of Le Chazelet and Villar d’Arene but these areas are so small that beginners and intermediates would be bored stiff after a few days.
