Top 3 Ski Resorts in France

The end of summer is nigh! You can always tells as the Ski promotion season kicks in!

Ski resorts in France have always ranked among the best in the world. The French ski resorts boast great mountain slopes, apres ski, infrastructure and are usually always located near picturesque towns or villages. Another advantage is that France is very accessible to travellers from England. The resorts provide expert trainers for people who want to actually ski while they are on their luxurious vacation.

With more than 300 ski resorts covering close to 8000kms of ski trails (pistes), choosing the right luxury resort can be challenging. To make the task easier here are three luxury ski resorts that have consistently been in almost all top ten lists.

1. Chamonix
2. Val d’Isere
3. Courchevel

Here is what aLuxuryTravelBlog had to say about Val d'Isere
Val d’Isere is home to some of the most expensive and exclusive restaurants and retail stores. It may not have the sky high ski lifts of Chamonix but compensates for it by having some of the loudest and hippest night clubs. Founded in 1934, it has about 300 kms of ski trails that are more suited for experienced skiers. Of the three ski areas, Solaise is the one recommended for beginners and there are many ski guides and private ski schools to help you hone your technique. Val d’Isere is part of the famed Espace Killy and is just about three hours away from Geneva. As a result has hosted parts of the Olympics and World Cup. You can also enjoy other outdoor sports, indoor sauna and spa facilities or visit some of the best chalets in France.
