For skiers, there is simply no place in the world that is better than France. Of course the French will heartily agree with this conclusion, and to make it even more attractive, visitors find that on the slopes the notoriously aloof French people are as welcoming and fun-loving as anyone could wish. In fact it would be hard to be anything but expansive in the wonderland of the mountains.
France takes its skiing opportunities quite seriously, though. Long before the Olympic Games of 1992 brought French ski areas to the attention of the world, the country was establishing some of the first Alpine ski areas in resorts such as Chamonix and Megeve.
The vast areas of the French Alps and the Pyrenees offer unlimited options for exciting ski adventures in their beautiful wide open spaces. There are plenty of no-frills establishments, but also a virtual smorgasbord of newer resorts built specifically with the skier in mind. In spots such as Courcheval, Les Arcs and Tignes (to mention only two) whole villages have been built for the ultimate skiing experience.
In most of these purpose-built areas, accommodations include apartments and hotels right by the slopes. You can put on your skis at the front door and whoosh away on the most beautiful and challenging slopes to be found anywhere.
To top it off, you can enjoy the best of the après-ski life with great food and drink in convivial surroundings. Be sure to partake of some Fondue Savoyarde, along with its traditional consequences if you drop your bread in the cheese sauce.
