The ski season is rapidly approaching and with so many amazing resorts to visit in the mountains behind the Riviera, it's time to start thinking

Way above Gap, Orcières 1850 (yes it is at 1850m) is sandwiched between the Southern Alps and the Ecrins to the north.

The 2010 European Gay and Lesbian Ski Week kicks off in Tignes in March, proudly billing itself as the ‘Largest and most Fabulous' gay ski

Most Isola holiday skiers stay in the resort. It makes sense, although it's often expensive and hotels are difficult to find in peak periods.

The resorts of Auron and Isola2000 are the largest and best known in the Alpes-Maritimes, both located just 90 minutes drive from the coast.

If you're looking for a good 'long lunch' venue on the slopes of sun-drenched Isola 2000, head for the appropriately named Cow Club.

Rumour has it that Limone Piemonte offers great skiing at much lower prices than in France. It is a lovely run up the Roya valley, 

Hopefully the weather men have got it right! Today at 850m in Berthemont the clouds are swirling about and the rain has a definite lumpy look!

The Lac D'Allos is one of those shots that photographers dream of. In winter, you'll need to hoof off up the Verdon valley or take advantage of the seasonal buses.

Morzine is a traditional and picturesque alpine village situated in the middle of the vast Portes du Soleil ski area, the largest ski area in Europe!

A small resort but with the added plus of being just an hour from Nice. The station is just one row of services on the Valdeblore col.

Valberg is a lesser known French Riviera ski resort, but just as dynamic as Auron and Isola2000. It's situated on a superb plateau
