More about the ski resorts
The record-breaking number of slopes ensures an almost infinite number of possibilities in France. Speaking of record-breaking: Mont Blanc is the highest mountain there, with 4,810 metres. It towers over many of the ski runs and, with a bit of luck, you can capture some fantastic photos of it while you are on skiing holiday in the French Alps!
After all, also the biggest ski resort in the world is located in the French Alps: Les Trois Vallées. The choice of winter sports for your holiday in France is equally as large – whether you're travelling with or without children.
But skiing in the "Grande Nation" has another distinct advantage: The prices are quite reasonable compared to countries like Austria or Switzerland. Especially for your familiy holiday in France this will be a big advantage.
Tip for night owls: The best après-ski parties take place in Val Thorens and La Plagne.
The 5 best ski resorts in France:
France is home to some of the world's most spectacular ski resorts, offering everything from record-breaking terrain to authentic alpine charm. With guaranteed snow conditions, extensive lift systems, and terrain suitable for every skill level, the French regions provide the perfect backdrop for your mountain adventure. Here are some of your best options:
- Les Trois Vallées
The world's largest interconnected ski area boasts 600 kilometres of trails and 200 lifts. It includes the villages of Courchevel, Méribel, Les Menuires and Val Thorens. In particular, Val Thorens is the highest ski resort village in Europe at 2,300 metres. It offers a long winter season, with guaranteed snow from November to May.
- Les Deux Alpes
The ski resort L'Oisans spans more than 210 kilometres of magnificent slopes. On Meije Glacier, the largest glacier in Europe, you can even go skiing in summer. Les Deux Alpes is also a magnet for young people and freeriders because of its connection to the La Grave freeride area, with 100 kilometres of exquisite powder runs. A dream comes true for backcountry fans!
- Portes du Soleil
600 kilometres of beautiful slopes in 12 ski resorts in France and Switzerland: That's Portes du Soleil, in the north of the French Alps and south of Lake Geneva. In popular ski areas like Morzine and Avoriaz, you will find easy slopes for beginners and families, black runs for daredevils and 50 kilometres of powder descents for off-piste fans.
- Espace Killy
Take the luxurious mountain village of Tignes, one of the highest municipalities in Europe, and the charmingly chic Val d'Isère. Add it all up and you have Espace Killy, a ski alliance with 300 kilometres of slopes. The resort is both internationally renowned and authentically French. Medium and extra-long descents, snow parks, as well as freeride and powder runs dominate the area. Perfect for seasoned pros who love a good athletic challenge! Highlight: skiing in summer on Grande Motte Glacier.
- Chamonix
As the historic site of the 1924 Winter Olympics, Chamonix is located in an enchanting landscape at the foot of Mont Blanc. The 3,842-metre-high summit of the Aiguille du Midi, the highest point in the ski resort, is simply striking. Another highlight in Chamonix: the notorious 24-kilometre freeride glacier run, "Vallée Blanche".
