Luxury French Alps Holidays

Overview

The French Alps are part of the Alps mountain range that is located in mostly France although parts venture into both Switzerland and Italy. There are lots of ski areas to choose from including The Three Valleys (Courchevel, Meribel, La Tania, Brides-Les-Bains, Saint-Martin-de-Belleville, Les Menuires, Val Thorens and Orelle)). There is year-round snow, world-class slopes and blue skies to match which draws in tourists from around the world. There is a slope for you no matter how experienced or new to skiing you are at Courchevel. For those seasoned pros, the slopes of Chamonix provide a real challenge.

The apres-ski scene in the French Alps offers one of its biggest attractions as there is so much to see and do when you aren’t riding the slopes. There are cinemas, bowling alleys, ice rinks and a wide variety of bars and restaurants.
