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.

The French Alps offer some of the best skiing in the world as well as a huge variety of luxury ski chalets. From ultra-modern chalets with huge floor to ceiling windows and contemporary features to beautiful traditional chalets with cosy alpine wood interiors. Many of which come equipped with everything you need to relax on a luxury ski holiday from swimming pools, hot tubs, cinema rooms, gyms and more.

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’. From the rich gastronomy (nothing warms the cockles like a serving of tartiflette as the snow falls outside) and world famous wines to the rich culture, warm hospitality and that special ‘je ne sais quoi’.
