FAQs about ski holidays in the French Alps
-
The ski season in France typically runs from late November to April, with Christmas, New Year and the February half-term break proving popular – especially for those with families. A lot of the ski resorts in France offer the best conditions in January or February, with more fresh snowfall likely to come. As we head into the early months of spring, the days are often clearer and sunnier, providing spectacular views but occasionally slushier skiing conditions – known as crud. The likes of Val Thorens, Tignes and Val d’Isère are among the highest resorts in Europe, meaning they provide a greater chance of regular snow all season.
-
There are no restrictions on holidays spent skiing in France – you can go for as long as you want! We tend to find that most of our guests book for a week or 10 days, but we can tailor your itinerary to your schedule.
