Pros of the French skiing
In addition to the truly staggering number of ski resorts in France (and this is in the comparatively small territory of the French Alps), this country can offer tourists at once several nice "buns" of winter holidays.
Firstly, this is a huge variety of tracks. There is no such tourist request that France would not be able to fulfill: the number of green, blue, red and black trails can delight even the most demanding client - from gentle, wide and almost strolling to very steep, winding and complex. ±$ The
Secondly, most French skiing areas are interconnected by a common system of lifts. For example, the world famous resort "Three Valleys" is the world's largest integrated ski area with 600 km of trails at altitudes of 1300-3230 meters. Here there are two hundred lifts, and resting in one place (in Val Thorens, Meribel or Courchevel), you can "roll back" the slopes of the neighboring resorts as well.
Thirdly, thanks to a lot of glaciers, France takes skiers a record long time. In Espace Killy, for example, skating continues all year round - after all, the perfect snow cover is "in charge" of the local Pissay glacier. At the same time, the variety of routes also did not disappoint: 156 descents of all levels of complexity with a total length of 300 km. And for the timely and rapid delivery of skiers to the start of the trails are responsible for more than a hundred hoists.
Where to go
The ski resorts of France are in the same region with the logical name of the Rhône-Alpes .If your goal is to go on as many tracks as possible, you should prefer the combined resorts .Among the most popular are the largest Three Valleys, Port du Soleil and Espace Killy .Also enjoy the well-deserved love of the skiers Evazion-Mont Blanc and Paradiski - these skiing areas are more chambery, but also consist of several resorts .The most beautiful ski region of France - the valley of Chamonix .This is a free-standing resort, but there is no shortage in the trails here - more than one hundred kilometers .And here, other winter sports are well developed, including ice climbing, winter rafting, canyoning and t .д .
Those who do not imagine life without the sun even in the midst of the harsh winter, we recommend to choose the resort of Alpe d'Huez, called the island of the sun, by the French. Its descents are oriented to the south, and the sun shines here 300 days a year.
Finally, those wishing to combine skiing holidays with the "excursion" will not leave unnoticed the charming resort of Megeve - in addition to a variety of routes for beginners and "otvyaznyh", there are 200-year-old mansions and cobbled streets of ancient streets.
