The French resorts cater to all styles as well, there are the huge purpose built resorts, they are not pretty but functional, to the cosy French villages, to some large sprawling cities with plenty to see and do as well as ski. Another drawcard for France is the unrivalled mountain restaurants, they are scattered everywhere and cater for all tastes and wallet sizes; French fare is wonderful especially when it’s all washed down with french wine which is good and inexpensive. |

A drawback to skiing in France are often the crowds and queues, the French also love to ski so the slopes are full on weekends and school holidays whilst it snowing. There are three main gateways to the French snowfields, Geneva, Chambery and Grenoble.
One of the largest alpine centres in France is Chamonix situated at the base of Europe’s highest peak, Mount Blanc. |
