French Alps

The French Alps are a world-renowned ski destination. With some of the best skiing in the world, stunning scenery, and a vibrant après-ski scene, it's no wonder that the French Alps are a popular choice for a luxury chalet holiday.

There are many different resorts to choose from in the French Alps, each with its own unique character and appeal.

The Three Valleys (Les Trois Vallées) in France is the largest ski area in the world, offering a staggering 600 kilometres of piste and including the world-class resorts of Courchevel, Meribel and Val Thorens. Courchevel comprises four picturesque ski towns, including the exclusive Courchevel 1850, known for designer boutiques, Michelin-star restaurants and some of the top luxury ski chalets in France. Méribel is a family-friendly resort divided into three villages, each offering a lively après-ski atmosphere. Val Thorens is the highest ski resort in Europe, making it ideal for early or late-season ski holidays.

Another unmissable ski area in France is The Espace Killy region, which covers over 300 kilometres of pistes and two glaciers and includes the resorts of Val d'Isere and Tignes. Val d'Isere is known for its challenging terrain and vibrant après-ski scene, whilst Tignes is a snow-sure resort due to its high altitude and glacier skiing.

In the heart of the French Alps, Megève is a charming resort known for its sophisticated French village atmosphere. It features varied terrain and is home to some of the best cross-country skiing in France.

Chamonix is a legendary resort home to Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in the Alps. It offers over 300 kilometres of skiable terrain and a vibrant ski town with a variety of charming restaurants, bars, and shops.

With many resorts open year-round, the French Alps in summer are a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. The mountains are lush and green, the air is fresh and clean, and the days are long and sunny. There are endless opportunities for outdoor activities, from hiking and biking to golf, rock climbing and white-water rafting.

Of course, no trip to the Alps would be complete without sampling the local cuisine, served in a Michelin-star restaurant or prepared by your private chef in your luxury catered ski chalet.
