Top luxury ski resorts in Europe
Paul and Livvy advise on the best places to ski in Europe. Decide on your country, then decide on the sort of skiing you want to do. Are you hard core or do you have children and are happy with nursery slopes?

Mon dieu, this is a fabulous trip if you like gardens and you like art. Paul likes neither, so taking Livvy was a act of love. Although there was probably ice cream and beer involved along the way.
