CONFERENCE VENUE

The 3 Vallées, Meribel, Val Thorens, Courchevel

Courchevel, with its enormous complex of inter-connected lifts covering six mountains and across three valleys, offers probably the finest ski-ing for all grades of skiers in Europe. The lift systems (204) link nine ski resorts. In January there is little queuing, and the ski-ing conditions have always been superb with wonderful powder snow; the off-piste ski-ing of varying grades is magnificent. 

* The conference takes place outside of peak periods of the season therefore there is little or no queuing and the pistes are uncrowded.

Hotel Annapurna ***** This is the conference venue. The Annapurna is one of the finest hotels in the Alps with excellent facilities for the lectures. There is also a superb indoor swimming pool, gymnasium, sauna, solarium, and Jacuzzi. All bedrooms have radio and balconies on the south facing rooms. The hotel is superbly situated being adjacent to the Nursery Ski Slope. You start and end your ski-ing at the hotel ski-room. The Hotel shuttle will take you into the Village on request.
