1. Tignes: Sharing the Espace Killy with neighbouring Val d’Isere, you have access to a whopping 320km of trails. One of the highest in altitude, Tignes offers some of the best snow sure action in France. Tip: the Naturide area is halfway between piste and powder: the perfect place to start on your off-piste career. Try our award-winning Cham 87 powder skis float like a butterfly over the deep stuff.
2. Courchevel: Not just for the rich and wealthy, though this is a prime spot for celeb spotting, Courchevel boasts excellent groomed pistes and skiing for all levels and a fun area for kids. Tip: head to the Saulire which will take you to the highest point (2738m) and cruise down the sunny side to Meribel, or take a trickier red back to Courchevel.
3. La Plagne: Recently linked up with neighbouring Les Arcs to create the massive Paradiski area, La Plagne’s reputation has exploded. Its relatively flat typography makes it great for beginners and intermediates but it holds some epic off piste rides especially if you add in Les Arcs’ secret powder stashes. Tip: hire a guide and do the runs down to Champagny or head over to the trees of Paisey if the clouds descend: the pines will give you definition in a white-out.
