This resort is probably ideal for beginners and intermediates. However, the pistes are over-crowded, probably because it is a family and beginners resort and marketed as such. I found the pistes dangerously narrow and this was exacerbated by the fact that skiers tend to stop in the middle of the pistes; collisions are waiting to happen. A lot of time is spent on drag and chair lifts, the runs are short and the links to the other ski stations require even more time on lifts. Architecture-wise, Le Corbier and La Toussuire leave much to be desired. I don't know what the architects and planners were thinking of. The landscape is really harsh on the eye and I couldn't describe it as chocolate-box alpine; it isn't at all. The staff in the bars and shops in Le Corbier weren't at all friendly and bordered on surly. However, if you are a family or beginner, try Le Corbier for your first ski holiday to get you going. Then seek out prettier resorts where the service and scenery are heaps better.
