Luxury Ski Chalet Holidays in France

The French ski resorts are some of the best in the world. Boasting seven of the 10 largest interconnected ski areas in the world, France was the first to properly link up its ski resorts and continued to invest in lift improvements season-on-season. 

There are roughly 400 ski resorts in the French Alps and the most famous ski areas are :

• Les 3 Vallées – Val Thorens, Les Menuires / St. Martin de Belleville and Courchevel
• Espace Killy – Tignes and Val d’Isère
• Portes du Soleil – Avoriaz, Morzine and Les Gets

The French Alps boast some of the best-connected and largest ski areas in Europe, so visitors are spoilt for choice. It has everything from picturesque mountain villages with traditional centres to large modern resorts with designer shops and endless off-mountain activities. Whether you’re dreaming of wide snowy slopes, adventurous off-piste with endless powder, or incredible food whilst at a mountain restaurant, France really does have it all.

The ski season in France tends to last from mid-December to late April, with each month having its own benefits.  Late December is picture perfect and has the buzz of the festive season, and many resorts will have events and activities on, especially New Year’s Eve celebrations. January is more quiet and very snow-sure, and tends to be when you can get the best deals for a luxury French ski chalet. February is probably the most popular time to go skiing for families, but if you head to a smaller resort you will be able to stay away from the crowds. Spring skiing begins in March and early April, which means you will have warmer weather and ‘bluebird’ days, and slushy fun for the afternoon. It’s all about finding a time that is going to suit you best.

It is no surprise that the French are experts in producing some of the most luxurious ski chalets in the Alps, and these luxury chalets in France have often set the benchmark for other countries.
