There are five mountain ranges in France with over a hundred different winter sports resorts, in every shape, size and style imaginable. The French mountains are easily accessible and thanks to the many facilities and beautiful accommodations you are on the slopes in no time and you can enjoy the great atmosphere. Skiers, snowboarders, après skiers, superheroes, nervous beginners and non-skiers are all welcome in the largest ski area in the world! So already see from your lazy chair how beautiful the French mountains are in spring and who all came before you!
1. Ideal snow conditions
In spring, the slopes in France are still in excellent condition. Due to the altitude, the snow in the French mountains remains for a very long time and fresh powder snow remains in optimal condition. Freestyle snowboarders or skiers like to use this soft snow in the popular snow parks. If you learn to ski or snowboard, you can take your first ski steps in a pleasant way under a nice warm sun. Most slopes are also very quiet, which means a lot less stress during practice. The chance of being knocked over by a speed demon is guaranteed to be lower.
2. Activities after skiing
In the spring, the days get longer and you still have plenty of time to plan other activities after skiing. You can explore wonderful snow routes during a beautiful snow walk, with a sled or on snowshoes. You may also want to take a sled ride with huskies or map out a challenging cross-country trail. For the real daredevils there is also the opportunity to paraglide, dive under the ice and slackline. If you prefer to relax, you can completely relax through the various spa options; a hot sauna in which you can sweat all the way through, a nice outdoor hot tub at night or a blissful massage that loosens the calves completely after a strenuous day on the slopes. This way you can fully prepare yourself for a day full of new challenges.
3. Party time or relaxing in the sun
The rising temperatures make it more pleasant to party outside under the warm rays of the sun. You can let yourself go completely on the terraces that the various après-ski bars have to offer. There are also heaps of concerts and festivals planned in the spring. Do you want to throw everything loose on the dance floor or rather quietly enjoy the music in the sun? It can all be done the way you want it.
4. Discount, discount, discount
A holiday in the winter season can sometimes be pricey, because everyone believes that this is the best time to plan a ski holiday, but nothing could be further from the truth. In the spring you benefit from a lot of discounts and great deals that offer an equally nice winter sports holiday. Because the high season has just ended, you have an incredible amount of choice from a wide range of accommodations. So there is plenty of choice to put together the perfect ski holiday with your sweetheart, a group of friends or the whole family.
5. Skiing for Dummies
Have you never skied or snowboarded before and aren’t quite sure if it’s for you? Then go spring skiing in La Clusaz. As an adult you can take beginners lessons for free, you will receive a free ski pass and a 50 percent discount on the rental of your equipment. In les Menuires you can also discover at your own pace whether skiing is really something for you. If you are still not convinced after two days, you will be refunded all your costs. You can go to La Plagne if you can already ski but are not yet a real professional who already dares to tackle every slope color. The wide slopes and the perfect slope make it just that little bit easier to master the technique of descending again.
Family Ski
Would you like to enjoy a wonderful skiing holiday with the whole family? Then this period is also the perfect time to book your trip. Descend the slopes with the kids and then warm up together and relax with a hot chocolate or crepe at hand. If you can’t relax in the presence of slightly too energetic children, stop by the children’s entertainment. In Les 2 Alpes you can go to the Junior Foliz who teach children to ski in the morning and have all kinds of fun activities on the menu in the afternoon. They organize fun plays, craft hours, various creative workshops and treasure hunts. In Avoriaz, children can expend their energy in cooking workshops, introductory biathlon lessons and exciting laser games.
Plenty of choice, as it turns out. Book your holiday now and enjoy the many spring deals during a wonderful spring ski trip in the French mountains. You can visit this for more information or great tips.
