The French Alps encompass several hundred kilometers of ski slopes spread across various mountain ranges. Ski areas such as the Three Valleys, linking Courchevel, Meribel, and Val Thorens, or Paradiski, connecting La Plagne and Les Arcs, provide extensive networks suitable for both beginners and experienced skiers. In Chamonix, the Mont Blanc massif offers technical descents, while high-altitude resorts like Tignes and Les Deux Alpes ensure snow cover thanks to their glaciers. Facilities include efficient ski lifts and simplified access from the valleys. Some resorts like Avoriaz stand out for their car-free organization, while others like Val d'Isère and Alpe d'Huez attract skiers with their significant elevation changes and long runs. These destinations enable winter sports from December to April, with opportunities for summer skiing on certain glaciers.
International ski resorts like Whistler Blackcomb, Niseko, Cortina d'Ampezzo, and Zermatt offer varied terrain. These destinations provide slopes for all levels, Olympic facilities, skiable glaciers, and high-altitude areas. Some resorts are located on volcanoes like Mount Ruapehu, others in mountain ranges such as the Alps, the Rockies, or the Dolomites.
