Skiing in France

Ski holidays in France are particularly popular for beginner skiers with gentle open runs and top ski schools on offer. With several free ski lifts for beginners to enjoy and outstanding ski instructors on hand to help you navigate the mountain and work on your skills, one of the best ski resorts in France for first-time skiers is Courchevel. Situated in the world’s biggest ski area, Courchevel is perfectly positioned for enjoying the fabulous 600 km of skiing that Les 3 Vallées has to offer, although the local slopes offer 150 km of skiing between 1,350m and 2,738m before you even venture further afield into the 3 Vallées. A high number of ski-in/ski-out luxury chalets in France are also located in Courchevel, allowing visitors maximum time on the piste. A few of our favourites include Chalet Le Namaste, Chalet Panmah and Chalet Licorne

Ski holidays in France also have plenty to offer both intermediate and advanced skiers. The country is a favourite skiing destination for British holidaymakers from December through to April. If you are looking to enjoy a luxury ski holiday in France, the slopes in January tend to be less busy with perfect snow conditions to ski on, whilst we recommend February half-term and Easter for families looking to spend a ski holiday together in the Alps.
