Ski Vacations In France
The beautiful ski resorts of France have long been favorite destinations for winter vacations amongst Europeans, and increasingly those from further afield. There are over 300 ski resorts in France, so it is no surprise that the country attracts hundreds of thousands of photographers during each ski season. Some of the resorts have been welcoming skier for over 100 years, and many are the choice of many of Europe's elite families for a great ski vacation. Some of the ski resorts have been purpose built in order to cater for the many tourists who arrive, with top of the range facilities, plenty of lifts, and excellent après-ski activities. Those looking to head to France for skiing vacations will as a result find the accommodation prices to be very reasonable, as there are plenty of cheap apartments and chalet that are specifically designed to welcome the winter tourists en masse.
The largest ski resort in the world is to be found in France. The massive Three Valley's resort boasts almost 400 miles of slopes. Some of the more famous and prestigious resorts in the country include those at Chamoix and Courchevel, as well as les Arcs. There are resorts in the Alps, from where it is possible to ski into Italy, and in the Pyrenees, from where skier can take a trip into the tiny kingdom of Andorra. Other winter resorts with excellent ski packages and facilities include Flaine, Les Deux Alpes and Les Houches, which offer top accommodation and great après-ski activities, as well as plenty to do for all the family. In fact, the slopes of the French ski resorts offer some of the best nursery skiing in Europe, as well as the world famous Ecole du Ski Francais, which offers world class skiing classes catering to beginners and children.
Finding a great ski package in France is easy, as the well-developed industry has been catering to tens of thousands of tourists each day for generations. Those interested should expect vacation packages to offer flights, return transfers to the resort from the airport, accommodation and breakfast as standard. On top of that, many tour operators offer added extras that attract tourists, including an extra night or two's accommodation free, free children's places or beds, 2 for 1 ski passes and evening meals. With the help of the Internet, it is possible to source the very best prices and deals at any resort. Add to this the easy accessibility to the French resorts from the many regional airports, and it really is no surprise that ski vacations in France are so popular during the winter season.
Last minute ski packages, as well as early booking deals are amongst the best ways to save big money on ski vacations. Although there are some great deals to be had across the board, those looking for the cheapest ski package deals would do well to look at the smaller resorts in France. There, travelers will find that everything, from lift passes to accommodation to ski hire is greatly cheaper than those in the large resorts are. It is possible to get 7 nights skiing with free lift passes towards the end of the season for only $500, while those looking to lengthen their vacation will find plenty of deals that only require payment for 5 nights and offer two extra-nights and equipment for free. There are plenty of great ski packages on offer not only on-line but in travel agents too, to ensure that the French ski resorts remain full all year round.
