France - the star of the world arena of ski resorts

Given an impressive collection of first-class ski resorts, 8,000 km of pistes and some of the biggest skiing names, France quite rightly claims to be the brightest star in the European (and world) ski scene. While Austria boasts the most vibrant and exciting nightlife, Switzerland has the best chocolate in the world, and Italy has amazing mountain restaurants, no one can compete with France in the ski resorts.

The local mega-resorts have the best lifting systems in the world, which are regularly appreciated by various celebrities in skiing.

The main ski areas of France.

Geographically, France is divided into three main ski resort areas. In the Northern Alps are the resorts of Portes du Soleil, Chamoni, as well as more modest cross-border places in the Tarantez valley - Three Valleys, Espace Killy and Paradiski.

Fascinated by the southern Alps and spectacular places located between north and south, tourists sometimes forget about the real pearls: Les Deux Alpes, Alpe d'Huez and La Grave.

Ski resorts in France.

Another strength of French ski resorts is their convenience, because almost every one of them can be easily reached from different airports - Geneva, Lyon, Grenoble, Chambery and others.

It should be noted that the charm of ski resorts in France - both large and small - is absolutely unlimited! But in addition to this, you will be able to fully enjoy the weekend spent in cozy chalets and trips to the historical centers of nearby cities.

Most major ski resorts have small satellite villages whose fabulous landscapes will win your heart forever.

It should be noted that the recent visit of Canadian resort experts pretty much influenced the French ski market, setting new resort standards and becoming a good shake-up for pacified, measured places where nothing has changed for decades. As a result, most of them went through major repairs and underwent significant changes in the service sector.

Resort services.

One of the most important sights of France, of course, is its gourmet cuisine, and resorts are no exception. The food sector in the French ski resorts is very, very developed and has been kept at the highest level for decades. And this means that lunches and dinners in local restaurants will be remembered for a long time.
