Skiing in France takes place in two parts of the country: the Alps and the much smaller Pyrenees. Although as many as 400 fully equipped mountain resorts are situated in the Alps range, they only cover 6% of its total area, which means the mountains have not lost any part of their natural beauty. Due to location at the height of up to 3300 meters above sea level, French resorts are busy for a very long part of the year. The skiing season in these starts in late autumn and ends in the first days of May.
Les Houches in France
is suitable for families, couples and kids /
children. The ski school at Les Houches
caters for all levels of skiing, from beginner to

The vast majority of ski resorts in France
offer ski hire, snowboard hire and some even hire ski clothing. The
price of a ski pass at Les Houches in France varies –
expect to pay more for a week long ski pass for all parts of the
mountain as opposed to smaller sections and fewer days. And before
you book a week’s ski pass you should definitely calculate whether
you can ski on every day or will you be in transit? When you

Top Tips for Skiing in Les Houches
1. Stay Warm. Other than buying good quality ski
clothing, you should always dress in layers as they trap warm air in the spaces
between.
2. Stay hydrated. You must replenish your liquids from all that
exercise.
3. Take a lesson. No matter how good your skiing, it can be invaluable
to get expert advice both on your style and the local conditions and ski slopes.
4. If you don’t fall, you’re not skiing hard enough. Many ski
instructors say that you cannot get better without pushing yourself.
5. Look out for beginners. We all started as beginners and their
occasional lack of control is to be expected, not a cause for your annoyance.
