With its high, snow-sure resorts, charming Savoyard villages, easy access and world-class cuisine, France remains one of Europe’s most popular ski spots. For British travellers, it’s regularly the number one ski destination every year. Research by the Ski Club of Great Britain shows 59% of British skiers skied in France last winter, up from 51% the previous year.

Large ski areas and high altitudes are at the top of skiers’ wish lists, and France delivers. It’s home to many of the world’s superlative resorts, including Les Trois Vallées with 370 miles of skiing and a top height of 3,230m (10,600ft), and the likes of Portes du Soleil, Paradiski, Les Sybelles and Tignes-Val d’Isere coming in close behind it. And these are not places that rest on their laurels. Investment is being ploughed into these resorts to keep facilities up to date. Lift networks are bring future-proofed, too, transitioning to low-carbon energy and departure and arrival points that are, where possible, within the rising snowline.

Geneva, in Switzerland, is the biggest hub for most French Alpine resorts, and is a 1hr 40min flight from the UK; Chambery, Lyon and Grenoble are a similar distance. Between them, you can find flights from many European airports. Though still not operating at pre-Covid levels, the ‘snow train’ (currently a seasonal Eurostar service operating weekly from London via Lille to several destinations in the northern French Alps) is a viable option at least for travellers in the south of England. Eurotunnel and numerous ferry links extend the no-fly options for British skiers to France.

Once you’re there, the French Alps offer a huge choice of accommodation, from five-star hotels to budget self-catering. And it has options for longer stays as well as short breaks — something that’s not always easy to find in other Alpine countries where resorts might still cater to the traditional Saturday-to-Saturday package deal model. Combine this with its reputation for top-notch food and wine, widely spoken English and a growing care for the mountain environment, and it’s abundantly clear why France is such a winner for winter holidays among Brits. Here’s our pick of the best French mountain resorts for this winter.
