3 French Ski Resorts
Stunning alpine scenery, puppy-soft snow and as much cheese and wine as your ski pants can take 🧀 🍷
Nobody does ski resorts like the French…

1. Megève
Megève, France
Snow sprinkled pine forests hide Megève from the outside world…
Choose this Frenchie for its medieval heart and cable car soaring over Mont Blanc (which looks exactly like the mountain from the Toblerone ad).
The ‘Evasion’ ski pass lets you take on 220 slopes over the 8 surrounding summits.
For noobs there are plenty of gentle routes closer to the town but the riskier stuff happens over at Mont d'Arbois.

2. Meribel
Méribel, France
Wood cabins, steamy spas and late night husky rides - ‘zees ees where ze magic happens’ as Fred from First Dates would say…
But if the whole cutesy vibe is getting too much, go dance on tables at apres bar, Le Rond Point.
British skier Peter Lindsay founded this resort back in ‘36 when looking for somewhere to ski away from the Nazis. Gah.

3. Les Houches
Les Houches , France
“A week’s ski pass for less than £200... in France?!?”
Skiing at Les Houches is a steal.
Dubbed Chamonix’s chilled out cousin, Ski down its sugar-dusted valley for epic views of Mont Blanc.
Don’t miss the Aillouds piste - a blue slope that winds around pine forest. Start from the top of the Prarion gondola and pass traditional mountain cafes on your way down.
