Ski holidays in France delivered to you with ease

Combining an average of 300 days of sunshine a year with ace snow conditions, Alpe d’Huez is unsurprisingly a very popular choice for a ski break. The resort hosts the longest black run in Europe – the 16km Sarenne - yet it’s also great for beginners and family groups thanks to gentle pistes near the mountain’s base.

Found at the foot of Mont Blanc, Chamonix is a true jewel in France’s ski resort collection. People have been skiing on its slopes for over two centuries and it famously hosted the Winter Olympics way back in 1924. Chamonix is ideal if you want a classic Alpine experience filled with pretty mountain villages, unrivalled après and, of course, challenging pistes that criss-cross down world-famous peaks.

Those hoping to book a short ski break should bear Flaine in mind. Recent improvements to this resort’s facilities have helped put it on the map and it’s the best place to ski in the Grand Massif. Make the most of Flaine’s 142 runs and enjoy the convenience of ski-in, ski-out accommodation.

Made up of four resorts at varying altitudes, Les Arcs in Paradiski is another ski area that offers something for everyone. It was largely built in the 1970s so expect plenty of unique architecture, plus you’ll also find a wide range of bars, restaurants and clubs ideal for after dark activities.

As one of France’s most snow-sure resorts, Les Deux Alpes is always a popular pick for skiers and snowboarders of all abilities. Keen to party after a day on the pistes? Les Deux Alpes has over 30 different bars to choose from and even kicks off each ski season with Rise, an annual electronic music and snow sports festival.

Known for charming wooden chalets and high-speed gondolas, it’s no surprise that Méribel in Les Trois Vallées is one of France’s top ski resorts. It was built by British Colonel Peter Lindsay in the 1930s and is now a playground for both skiers and party-goers thanks to 600km of pistes and various live music venues.

Morzine is found at the heart of the Portes du Soleil ski region and its village setting is as picturesque as they come. When you’re not taking in the views, take to Morzine’s wide slopes that are ideal for less experienced skiers. Off piste activities are aplenty here, too – think ice skating and indulgent spas.

Sitting over 2000m above sea level, Tignes in Espace Killy is one of the most snow-sure French ski resorts. In addition to its amazing ski conditions and massive range of modern accommodation options, it’s also just 19km from Bourg St Maurice train station. Leave after work on Friday and be on the first lift on Saturday.

Merging a classic Alpine village feel with atmospheric après and first-rate skiing, you can’t go wrong with a holiday to Val d’Isère. It’s part of the legendary Espace Killy and is even linked by ski lift to Tignes if its 150+ ski runs aren’t quite diverse enough for you.
