Ski resorts in France

Scattered across the Alps and the Pyrenees, the ski resorts in France remain the most popular destination for British skiers and snowboarders. French ski resorts have some of the largest linked ski areas in the world and offer the best summer glacier skiing in Europe.

Ski holidays in France offer fantastic skiing opportunities and, off course, the chance to sample the famous French cuisine. You will find a good choice of high quality mountain and village bars and restaurants, at prices to suit every pocket. Some French ski resorts are quiet and family-orientated, while others are more suited to those looking for lively nightlife.

Who will enjoy?

Skiers and snowboarders of all levels will enjoy a ski holiday in France. For the more adventurous, they offer some of the finest off-piste skiing in the world, although it's always best to take a guide with you.

French lift systems vary enormously, from very basic to high-tech chairs and cable cars. It's worth remembering that lift passes are quite expensive, so make sure you don't lose yours.

How many destinations?

There is a huge number of resorts, in a variety of sizes and styles. Some, like Flaine, are famous for being ugly and purpose-built. Others are charming old farming villages. However, if you can put up with the ugliness, the more modern resorts are the most convenient and best for families most of the time.

Accommodation?

France has traditionally been acknowledged as the best destination for excellent self-catering ski accommodation. If you don't fancy this, then you can choose from a range of hotels and ski chalets, to suit all budgets.

If you are travelling with children you should check out resorts such as La Plagne, where you can ski right to the doorstep of your hotel or apartment.
