Or would you prefer to stay in the resort village, close to restaurants, bars and other après ski entertainment? Are you interested in taking a ski lesson, or trying out a new sport like snowboarding? Or would you like to be able to take advantage of night skiing, which is not offered at every mountain? All of these things are questions to ask when choosing your ski accommodation.
