Introduction

Ski holiday in France: Explore the French alps

Are you looking for a holiday in France? French ski resorts are among the highest, and most extensive in Europe. When you add in the food, you're looking at a winter sports paradise.

The ski resorts in France are mostly interconnected, meaning you get hundreds of km of non-stop skiing.

A ski holiday in France has variety at every level;
Les Trois Vallées has over 600 km of downhill runs and Val Thorens is Europe's highest ski village (3,230 m). Les Portes du Soleil is a vast, child-friendly ski area with 650 km of beautiful runs and authentic villages. Thanks to a glacier, Les Deux Alpes is snow-sure throughout the season. This makes it one of Europe's best destinations for winter sports.

Winter activities on a ski holiday in the French alps

Due to the high altitude of many French ski resorts, there's often a thick layer of snow. Perfect for zipping down the slopes or making a day of it by visiting several different ski villages.

Want to do something other than skiing or snowboarding during your ski holiday in France? You have a wide range of other winter activities to choose from, like paragliding, ice skating or tobogganing. Prefer to go indoors? How about bowiling or laser gaming? When you've had enough exercise, you can completely unwind in a luxury spa.

Speaking of unwinding. Après-ski in France is famous for a reason and Val Thorens is buzzing. Come explore our
