Types of Ski Holidays in France

Group Ski Holidays

First on our list are the infamous group ski holidays. It could be a stag or hen do, an extended family holiday, or you and your best pals. When it comes to ski holidays in France, you can be sure of one thing: the bigger, the better. No matter the occasion.

Going on a ski holiday with a big group has a lot of benefits (aside from the fact you get to experience the joy of skiing and snowboarding with your nearest and dearest, that is). For example, you can get a much bigger chalet that will house you all and split the cost between you. And the bigger the chalet, the more amenities there are; we’re talking hot tubs, mountain views, ensuites, log fires – you name it, these big chalets have it.

There’s also the fact that group ski holidays in France mean you have plenty of people around you to race down the slopes with and show off your skills to. But we know your mind is snagged on the thought of a luxury ski chalet right now. Are you thinking about the big group ski holiday depicted in Wham’s Last Christmas music video right now? You’re on the right track. And you’re just months away from being able to make that a reality for you!

Family Ski Holidays

Of course, we couldn’t create this list without including family ski holidays. For a lot of us, family ski holidays were our first taste of snow and the exhilarating life of a ski resort.

Do you have fond memories of your parents teaching you to ski and showing you how stunning the mountainous scenery is? Then why not pass that on to your own children? And don’t worry, if you’re concerned that your ski teaching skills are sub-par, most resorts have fantastic ski schools that specialise in teaching children.

One of the top reasons that family ski holidays in France are so popular is because they truly are a holiday for both you and your kids. When the kids are in ski school, you will have the chance to ski or snowboard to your heart’s content on the slopes without having to slow down or watch out for them.

Then, once they finish school, you can enjoy some fun family time together as they demonstrate their new skills to you. After that, there is the evening entertainment – while some of the bars might be adult-only, you don’t have to miss out on après ski just because you have kids. Find child-friendly disco bars, watch a ski show, or even do an evening excursion!

Family ski holidays in France guarantee to create core memories for all the family, and what could be better than that?

Here’s a little-known fact for you: the Easter bunny does – in fact – visit the French Alps. Do you know what that means? Easter ski holidays in France are in fashion and are being booked up fast! Why limit your chocolate egg-eating time to your hometown when you could be doing enough skiing that would warrant double the amount?

Not only will they have the time of their life, you’ll get a holiday, too, and you all get some much-needed quality time.

Even better, don’t tell the kids and keep it a surprise. They’re simply counting down to being off school, but imagine their faces when you tell them to pack a bag because tomorrow they’ll be in the Alps?!

Half-term ski holidays in France are the perfect option for a fun, wintery holiday. There’s plenty for the kids to do, you’ll be able to stretch your legs and enjoy the slopes as well, and your kids will have an amazing story to tell when they get back to school.

Honourary Mention: Snowboarding Holidays

Yes, yes, we know this article is about ski holidays in France, but c’mon – snowboarding is very much part of the gang here. We love snowboarding holidays – whether you already know the ropes (or board, we should say) or you fancy taking up a new skill, boarding is great fun.

There’s a saying in the snowsport community that says that skiing is easier to learn but harder to perfect, but that snowboarding is harder to learn and easier to perfect. Do with that what you will – see yourself as the next Travis Rice? We fully support you in this endeavour.

With snowboarding holidays, you get all the great bits of a ski holiday but the added excitement of a ‘cool’ reputation. Oh, and did we mention the tricks and snowparks?
