When it comes to luxury exports, France is the all-around winner. As French writer Voltaire said, “luxury means freedom”. And what could feel more free than arriving in the French alps with endless terrain to explore?
High altitudes, constant investment, and some of the largest ski areas in the world. It is easy to see why France is the best place to ski in Europe. Altitude, paired with top quality piste maintenance and snow machines, provide snow surety throughout a long winter season. Modern facilities make exploring the vast expanses of slopes a seamless experience.
The magnificent alps are imposing and otherworldly. You may have to pinch yourself to make sure that such a scale exists. Spot the legendary Mont Blanc, get lost in the eternal stretch of Les 3 Vallées, and cruise down wonderful tree-lined pistes.
Some of our resorts allow you to ski along international borders. If you are looking for variety, it is easy to spend a day exploring Italian piste. Daredevils will want to attempt the Swiss wall, a hair-raising run separating France and Switzerland. France’s ideal position is accessible for the UK and the rest of Europe. Proximity to airports and excellent road and rail links make transfers easy and scenic.
There is a French ski resort to suit every type of traveller. Whether you seek the French charm of Les Gets, the elegant luxury playground of Courchevel 1850 or a bustling town like Chamonix with endless activities and entertainment, we can help you find the ultimate winter break.
If you usually ski elsewhere in Europe, it may be surprising by how easy everything feels here. Many resorts in France were deliberately built for snow sports, making them convenient and adapted for your needs. But do not assume that this means they lack character. French culture and skiing go hand in hand. Quaint villages like Sainte Foy and Courchevel Le Praz exhale authenticity, while Megève will feel like you are living in an alpine fairy tale.
It is no surprise that a country critically acclaimed for its food and wine production has an outstanding fine dining culture. The most exclusive destinations attract acclaimed chefs from around the world. But even smaller and more rustic resorts have hidden gems in the shape of a Michelin star.
You should always follow an intense day on the slopes with a hearty feast. You will find many typical mountain favourites with plenty of added French flair. Fondue may be Swiss, but nobody does cheese quite like France. And nothing compares to the warming comfort of a Tartiflette after a day against the elements.
When in France, après ski is not a nice extra, it’s an essential part of your mountain experience. From the throbbing clubs of Val d’Isere, to the glitz of Courcheval 1850, to the cosy pubs of St Martin de Belleville, rest assured that the vin chaud, demi-peche and Génépi shots will be flowing. Whether you are there to people watch or want to be right in the heart of the action, everybody should experience a mountain party at the Folie Douche at least once in their lifetime.
After days so packed with action, you will need your accommodation to be a sanctuary where you can relax and unwind. France has built up a large collection of outstanding ski resorts. So of course, they have collected some of the world’s most magnificent chalets along the way.
Chalets in the alps are all about combining elegant modern design with regional style. The focus is on maximising your views of the stunning landscape while creating a tranquil retreat from the cold. Lavish spa facilities, homely fireplaces and exquisite terraces are just some of the features on offer in our properties. With many resorts built to cater for snow sports, it is not difficult to find chalets right on the slopes. Spend more time on the mountains and ski straight to your front door.
