Apartments and Chalets in the Best Ski Resorts in the Alps
Originally posted on & updated on 23rd September, 2025
Autumn is well underway, and many families are turning their attention to winter holidays, particularly those who enjoy the cold and ski activities. One of the most popular destinations for winter fun is the French Alps, where snow is guaranteed every year.
Large Ski Domaines
The French Alps are renowned for their vast ski domains, numerous ski resorts, and breathtaking scenery, located on the eastern side of the country, primarily in the Savoie and Haute Savoie departments. There are several options to get there, depending on the country you’re coming from. From the UK, there are regular flights (in season) to Chambéry and Lyon, with Geneva an excellent option for those travelling from further afield.
The Best Time to Hit the Slopes
January is usually the best time for deals to ski resorts and quieter slopes, in the Alps many domaines can stay open until spring when the days start to get longer and warmer, March and April are great months for French ski holidays. But a chalet or ski-in-out flat isn’t just for Christmas and Easter, there’s plenty to do in the summer months too.
Raclette and Ginépi
A blog on the French Alps wouldn’t be complete without mentioning the heart-warming food and those unforgettable Fondue and Raclette evenings in a packed chalet at the end of a tiring day on the slopes or rackets. Along with plenty of wine and local spirits to keep warm and aid digestion, which is purely medicinal, you’ll understand!
