If you're new to my channel, my name is Gilles Riou. I'm the founder and general manager at Top Snow Travel, a multi-million dollar luxury ski travel agency providing exceptional and seamless France ski holidays.

I'm half French, half Aussie and i'm passionate about the Mountains both in winter and summer all around the world and in particular the French Alps which is where i spent my winter & summer holidays growing up in Paris until i was 15yrs old before moving to Australia.

This channel is all about the best possible France ski travel experiences. From vlogs, to tips & tricks, luxury accommodation reviews, mountain restaurants, exceptional winter activities, ski resort reviews, & sooo much more.

In this video, i'm staying at the 5***** Residence Daria-I Nor in Alpe d'huez. Alpe d’Huez is a bustling resort all year round. The main village sits at 1869m in the centre of the Oisans region in the French Alps. This is a high altitude resort, with its highest point, at 3300m on the Pic Blanc glacier. Alpe d'Huez is the sunniest ski resort in France, with 300 days of sunshine every year, earning the nickname of “l’Isle au Soleil” or The Island in the Sun.

There are many reasons why skiers and snowboarders flock to Alpe d’Huez each winter, and in this video review, we will go through what to expect, what to do and where to stay.

Who is Gilles Riou from Top Snow Travel?!

Top Snow Travel's Founder and a world-class ski enthusiast who understands the needs of a luxury ski holiday.

His expertise comes from having skied at more than 70 SKI RESORTS around the world, including Canada, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, and more than 40 different ski resorts in FRANCE alone.

Not only has he explored the French Alps while on holidays from his current home in Australia, he has also spent much of his childhood & adolescence on these remarkable mountains.

From just 2 years old until he was 15, Gilles was fortunate enough to visit his family-owned home at a ski resort in the French Alps called Valfréjus. Every school holiday, his loved ones and himself would leave their home in Paris and enjoy the atmosphere and excitement of this stunning mountain region. It was here that he developed a sincere love for the sport of skiing, as well as a wealth of knowledge regarding the best places to stay and ski. These memories stayed with him long after he moved to Australia as a teen.

After school, Gilles spent the first decade of his career working in the travel and tourism industry selling worldwide ski holidays to the Australian market. However, Gilles knew he had more to offer so he decided to venture out on his own.

"In 2015, Top Snow Travel was created to give fellow Aussies the incredible experience of elite skiing on some of the very best slopes in the world. My desire to share this passion with others is just one of the reasons Top Snow Travel is a top-rated ski travel company today"
