The looming spectre of global warming may be an unexpected boon to skiers planning their holidays in France this winter. Even as sometimes conflicting reports continue to come in from various climate-monitoring agencies and economic forecasters, ski resort owners and promoters in France are looking on the positive side and working to make sure they offer Europe’s best deals to skiers this year. This country has been one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world for years, and businesses that cater to the industry want to make sure it stays that way.
Statistics based on expectation of a continuing warming trend indicate that winter sports may become unavailable in areas under 39,000 feet in elevation, which would include about half of the alpine regions of France such as Haute-Savoie where Chamonix is located.
However, skiers should check out the multitude of options offered by less well-known areas such as the Pyrenees, for example. Ski resorts that offer excellent family packages, superb instruction and nightlife equal to any on the more beaten track are making irresistible offers, especially if you plan your holidays for early or late in the ski season.
The general attitude of ‘make the best of it’ that prevails amongst the ski industry in France applies to all regions, so savvy skiers can find a terrific deal most anywhere if they take some time to do their research.
For instance, many resorts, hotels, apartments and chalets are cooperating with the travel industry to put together great all-inclusive packages for weekends or weeks. Check with some of the ski holiday sites such as Crystal and Thomson to find what may turn out to be the best holiday you’ve ever had.
