I went to France on a skiing holiday a couple of years ago and the resort was over looked by this amazing mountain. I am just wondering if anyone can workout what it's called just by looking at it!
Oh, you get double points if you give the name in French!!

It looks alot like L'Alpe d'Huez or maybe even a part of Deux Alpes. Their skiing range is huge with many resorts.

Or maybe even the Tignes I believe it is just above Val d'IsÃ¨re.

I could be wrong, though Tignes is France's (the alps) most famous ski resort. I think you can see switzerland from there, I believe it is only within a hundred miles away from Tignes. Or at least Geneva at any rate.

I think my french is a little rusty, let me know if the translation is wrong.

Ok then, the mountain is called "Le Grand Nielard" which translates as "The Great Dog".
If you start at the left hand side you have the nose which leads into the muzzle, and so on.
It should look like a dog lying in the snow.
