Why Visit France

For choice on the slopes, the bigger, well-linked areas such as the Trois Vallees will offer endless skiing, but for those seeking something more intimate and pretty, traditional villages like St Martin de Belleville or Tignes les Brevières fit the bill.

Luxury Ski Chalets in France

Gliding over freshly fallen snow, it will strike you that that there’s nothing like Alpine air for reviving the spirits. There’s always time for lunch alfresco, accompanied by a glass or two of vin chaud, before heading home via a glade of pine trees or an apres ski bar.

A dip in the hot tub with a glass of something fizzy as chef prepares your meal is just the ticket. If you venture out for an evening promenade you’ll find quaint villages, luxury boutiques and Michelin-starred restaurants.

There’s a reason why France often tops the list when you’re looking for a chalet to rent for your luxury ski holiday. The wealth of choice is unparalleled, especially when you factor in those lovely French ‘extras’.
