France has a long established record for being one of the world’s top destinations for skiing, snowboarding and summer alpine holidays. As such it remains the most popular destination for British skiers and snowboarders, and it isn’t hard to see why. It has the biggest ski lift and piste network in the world and most of the big French ski areas are at high altitude, ensuring a long season and good quality snow cover. Read more...
The French ski holiday industry boasts a wide selection of skiing accommodation that will appeal to all budgets, from simple great value self catered apartments right through to top quality luxury ski chalets perfect for group or family ski holidays. Whilst it’s true that some of the purpose built ski resorts in France constructed in the 1960s and 1970s were not particularly aesthetically pleasing, not all French ski resorts are an eyesore. The later generation of purpose built resorts such as Arc 1950, La Tania, Rosiere and Valmorel have been built in much more sympathetic style. If you prefer, there are some genuine old mountain villages to stay in, linked directly to the big ski lift networks. Whilst not always convenient for the slopes they can offer a more authentic alpine experience. Examples include Montchavin or Champagny for La Plagne, St Martin de Belleville for the Trois vallees, Morillion or Samoens for Flaine and Vaujany for Alpe d’Huez. There are also some old villages with their own ski slopes that have developed as resorts whilst retaining some of their rustic ambience – such as Serre Chevalier and La Clusaz.
