Top 5 Ski Treks in France You Have to Visit

Famous for its culinary delights and exquisite wine routes, France is going to deliver another fantastic experience you've been missing out on. Ski treks in France for most European skiers are the favourite, and despite stiff competition, it is one of the most popular European winter destinations.

Top 5 Best Ski Treks in France

1. Tignes Le Lac

The French Alps offer a lot of variety for skiers, and the Tignes Le Lac resort is no different. You're guaranteed of an almost all year round availability of skiing treks as the conditions allow for skiing 10 months of the year. Resort altitude is at 2100 miles, and there are 154 pistes for you to test out.

2. Aussios

Aussios is situated in the Maurienne Valley, and it offers great rates for skiers who want to combine their sport with culture. The town with the atmosphere of rural France is unusual and unlike many fashionable, high end resorts, so if you're looking to do a lot of skiing treks, this slower paced resort might not be the one for you.

3. Méribel

Kick it up a notch with this resort of 1400 to 1700 miles with plenty of slopes, mainly for intermediate skiers. Meribel also allows for access to ski treks in the Trois Vallées ski area. After a day out on the pistes, you can socialise and grab a drink at one of the many pubs and restaurants that offer live music and comedy as well as a happy hour.

4. Alped'Huez

Known as one of the best ski resorts, you'll be greeted by 236km (1860 to 3330 miles) of fluffy, white pistes, begging to be explored by skiers. There is a massive area made specifically for beginners just above the Alped'Huez resort, too. If it's blue skies, head to the lifts and to the top station, where you will be able to see almost a fifth of France!

5. Courchevel

This is a truly beginners' paradise as it has brilliant slopes, such as Altiport 1850, where the gradient and lifts are gentle. There is plenty of ski and snowboard courses for adults and children in English. There are 600 kilometres (373 miles) of pistes, made up of various grades, including 10% black, 16% green, 34% red, and 40% blue.
