Snow Conditions in France

Snow in France

France is home to some truly remarkable skiing, with resorts such as Val Thorens so confident in their conditions they have a ‘snow guarantee’, challenging people to find a European resort with better conditions. In the lower resorts such as Morzine you may need to be cautious when booking a very early or very late trip, however, France has the facilities to create its own snow.

France Ski Holidays FAQs

As we create tailor-made ski holidays to France, your trip can last as long as you like. We typically suggest a seven-night itinerary to ensure you have ample time to hit the slopes and enjoy some well-deserved downtime. However, we also provide weekend breaks for those looking to embark on a shorter trip.

As many resorts in the French Alps boast snowy conditions throughout the year, there’s no wrong time to book your skiing holiday! However, the most popular time to travel is during the winter months, particularly from December through to March. It tends to be colder and have a higher chance of fresh snow. However, French skiing holidays during spring enable you to enjoy calmer conditions with blue skies and sunshine in abundance.

They most certainly are! Many of our ski package holidays in France are suited for all ages and abilities. You’ll find a wealth of resorts such as Alpe d’HuezLes Menuires and Châtel that can cater to those with less experience, with plenty of ski schools and lessons on offer.

There’s no need to worry about carrying extra luggage as all of the equipment you need for skiing in France can be pre-booked. Our experts can take care of any arrangements for you, but you can always bring your own skis or snowboards.

The overall cost of your holiday will vary depending on where you’d like to stay, what activities you choose to include, and the length of your trip. As we can create a bespoke France ski holiday built around your wishes, our team will provide you with a quote before you book.
