Ski & Board Camp 2009 started 26/09/09 at Les Melezes, Tignes Les Boisses, with a special opening Gala weekend.
Guardian Travel writer Rupert Mellor was among our guests & today’s issue of the Sunday Observer (Travel section) includes a full page article by him describing his “first snowboarding trip of the season, a bargain long weekend in Tignes”.

Of Les Melezes, Rupert writes:-
“Les Mélèzes is a simple, spotlessly clean 20-room chalet hotel with the usual alpine extras like hot tub, sun terrace and sauna plus a Wii, Wi-Fi and Sky TV. Served in a dining room whose large windows reveal spectacular views of the valley, Roger’s food is, for the price, frankly astounding. Dinners include whole poussin with orange zest gravy, herb-crusted rack of lamb with dauphinoise gratin and roasted veg, and seared fillet of pork with wholegrain mustard and mushroom sauce. And the throng who fill the bar, many pre-bonded by previous trips with MountainSun (its repeat rate for guests averages about 60%) variously enjoy relaxed and borderline riotous evenings, side by side. The prices help – here a pint of beer will cost you €4.50 against the valley average of €6. This trip’s only reminders of in-season fiscal realities are at the Panoramic mountain restaurant, the only one open at this time of year, where coffee costs €3.60.
