Ski Holidays in France

The most reliable months for snow are January and February, especially in high-altitude resorts like Val Thorens and Tignes. March is also excellent, particularly for those looking for quieter slopes. For beginners or families, Christmas and Easter weeks can be great too – just watch for peak pricing.

It depends what you’re looking for. For style, Courchevel is hard to beat. If you’re looking for big ski areas, Val d’Isère and Méribel are great picks. For charm, Morzine and Les Gets offer traditional Alpine village locations. And Val Thorens, Europe’s highest resort, is consistently popular with Ski Line clients as an amazing all-rounder.

Les Deux Alpes, Valmorel, and La Rosière offer good value, especially for lift passes and self-catering apartments. Smaller resorts like La Tania also provide access to world-class skiing at a lower price to nearby resorts.

France isn’t the cheapest destination, but it offers value if you know where to look. Choose self-catering apartments, avoid peak dates, and book early. Compared to Austria or Italy, prices for food, drink, and lift passes are typically higher, but so is the quality of infrastructure.

Yes, and it’s easier than ever. Eurostar Ski Trains run to Bourg-Saint-Maurice, with connections to major resorts like Les Arcs, La Plagne, Tignes, and Val d’Isère. It’s a great eco-friendly option and avoids airport delays.

Absolutely, and they’re growing in popularity. Club Med offers the most extensive range of all-inclusive ski resorts in France, providing excellent value, especially for families. Packages include lift passes, ski lessons, full board, childcare, and open bar. Popular Club Med resorts include Val Thorens Sensations, Alpe d’Huez La Sarenne, and Les Arcs Panorama.
