Andorra
This tiny, duty-free enclave in the Pyrenees has long been the home of the budget package deal. Some of the development has been a bit dreary and only now is the infrastructure catching up, with lifts being far more reliable. If you are looking for a great deal, can put up with dodgy burger-and-pizza style food and love a boozy knees-up in crowded bars, this is your place. The skiing is more suited to beginners and it’s worth getting up early for the best conditions.

Destination of the month

Lying at the heart of the massive Three Valleys ski area, Méribel is one of the most popular resorts in the Alps. It has 200 lifts and 600km of well groomed pistes and is ideal for intermediates – but like all the big resorts, caters for the less experienced extremely well. Boarders and free skiers have two parks and access to five more in the other Three Valleys resorts. The main village kept a rustic chalet feel during the building boom of the Seventies and many of the traditional buildings have been recently refurbished to the highest standards. The resorts is famous for its high spirited après scene.
