Ski Holidays in France – Discover the Best French Ski Resorts
France has long been the number one destination for British skiers heading to the Alps – and with good reason. From world-class ski areas and stunning Alpine scenery to a wide range of accommodation and unbeatable après-ski, ski holidays in France tick all the boxes.
While France may have once lagged behind its Alpine neighbours in ski resort development, it’s now home to some of the best and most famous ski resorts in the world. In earlier decades, many French resorts prioritised functionality, with high-rise apartments and tower blocks dominating the skyline. But in recent years, there’s been a shift back to more traditional Alpine architecture – with wood clad chalets, stone buildings, and thoughtfully designed village-style resorts creating a much more picturesque and inviting atmosphere.

A Resort for Every Budget and Style
One of the best things about skiing in France is the huge variety of resorts. Whether you’re looking for a budget-friendly ski holiday or a luxury ski escape, you’ll find a resort to suit your needs.
Val Thorens is a prime example of an affordable French ski resort that doesn’t compromise on quality. Voted the best ski resort in the world several times, it offers high altitude snow-sure slopes and great value for money.
At the luxury end of the scale is Val d'Isere and Courchevel – known for their five star hotels, Michelin-starred restaurants, and exclusive clientele.
Somewhere in the middle are ever popular resorts like Les Deux Alpes, Alpe d'Huez, La Plagne - all offering incredible skiing, vibrant villages, and plenty of charm.
Smaller ski resorts like La Rosière, Val Cenis, and Isola 2000 offer a more authentic, village style atmosphere - often at a more affordable price point than their larger, more famous neighbours.

France’s Top Ski Areas
France is home to some of the largest and most iconic ski areas in the world, including:
The 3 Valleys – The largest linked ski area in the world (600km), covering Val Thorens, Méribel, Les Menuires and more.
The Portes du Soleil – A vast ski region (approx 600km) that includes Avoriaz and offers access to both France and Switzerland.
The Paradiski – Linking La Plagne and Les Arcs via the spectacular Vanoise Express cable car. 425 km of pistes, ideal for all abilities.

Grand Massif – A hidden gem that includes resorts like Flaine, Samoëns, and Les Carroz, offering 265km of varied terrain.
