Altitude FestivalIt's not all great comedy and music of course. With great snow conditions, panoramic views from the mountain tops and some of the best runs in the world Meribel is a skier and snowboarders paradise.

"There can be few nicer places to watch comedy than at the Altitude Festival in the French Alps". **** The Telegraph
