It is said that each year 200,000 Brits will make their way to the French Alps to ski. They travel by car, by train and by plane to enjoy the snow found there. You might wonder what draws them there but the reasons are obvious. It only takes a few hours to get there, the snow is always reliable and the French ski slopes are extensive and varied.
If you want to ski France, check out some of the most popular resorts: Meribel, Val Thorens, Les Arcs, La Plagne, Les Deux Aples and Chamonix. Skiers and snowboarders alike love the great variety of ski resorts that will appeal to every skier at every skill level.
Three Valleys is the most popular ski area in France but the newly created Paraidski Area also offers fantastic skiing. There are literally thousands of ski chalets in the French Alps and you can arrange for a catered ski chalet holiday if you are wanting a more relaxed option. When purchasing a lift pass, keep in mind you might not need a full area pass so think about how much skiing you will be doing. Your ski pass can be part of your booking or you can purchase it when you arrive.
