With 180 incredible resorts across fifteen mountain ranges, all with exceptional surroundings, there is an overwhelming choice for winter sports enthusiasts, and both beginners and experts will find somewhere ideally suited to their ability. Other winter sports are also extremely well catered for, with plenty of opportunities for snowboarding, mogul skiing, speed skiing and telemarking, as well as off piste and cross country, to name but a few.
There is also a huge variety to do in terms of après ski activities, with resorts in the region offering many opportunities to unwind after a day on the slopes in their excellent bars and gourmet restaurants. Many resorts also have luxurious shops and top of the range sporting facilities.
There is a wide range of destinations to choose from in the Rhone-Alpes region for a chalet break, from the internationally renowned resorts of Courchevel in the Trois Vallées area, to Val D'Isère in the Espace Killy and the collection of villages making up La Plagne, all synonymous with great skiing, stunning views and plenty to do after a hard day's skiing. A chalet break is an ideal way to relax in luxury in the evening following a day's skiing on some of the best slopes in the world.
For a weekend break, the combination of traditional charm and great skiing in the resorts of Les Carrox or St Gervais is a great option if you want to sample the delights of the Rhone-Alpes region but can't commit to going away for longer.
