The best ski destinations in France you need

Today we're sharing our knowledge on the French Ski Resorts so you can start planning your next ski holiday for Winter 2021/2022 .

What are the best ski resorts in France?

If we have to choose the best area to go skiing in France, we would head to the Alps as this area guarantees great snow conditions from the end of November all the way to April. Some areas are even open during the Summer like the glacier in Les Deux Alpes.

So, what are our favorite ski resorts in the French Alps? Let's find out our top 5 ski resorts that you should definitely add to your bucket list for Winter 2021/2022:

1. Chamonix

✔ Chamonix Ski Resort is rated as one of the top ten best ski resorts in Europe . And it's ideal for intermediate and advanced skiers.

✔ There's loads of bars and restaurants in the town centre where you can enjoy an evening meal. If you fancy aprés-ski drinks , you should head to Avenue Michel Croz which is full of bars with outdoor terraces and live music.

✔ The closest airport is in Geneva (GVA) , which is 100km from Chamonix.

2. Tignes

✔ Tignes is known for being one of the most snow-dependable winter ski destinations in France. This resort shares its ski area with Val d'Isère, offering a total of 300km of slope s for all abilities.

✔ There are a total of 5 villages, Val Claret (2,100m) has easy access to the glacier and Tignes Le Lac which is just down the road, is the most convenient place to stay.
