New Year Ski Holidays in France

New Year Ski Holidays in France - Unwind and relax after Christmas
One of the most popular winter getaways for skiers and boarders, a New Year ski holiday in France offers a perfect balance of first-class piste action and evenings full of celebration. A New Year ski holiday in France can be quiet and peaceful, and the perfect way to unwind after all the Christmas activities, or busy and bustling in one of the more vibrant ski centres, with non-stop après-ski entertainment and jam-packed days and nights. Ideal for families, groups, and even single travellers, a New Year ski holiday in France can be just the thing to reconnect with loved ones and spend quality time together, ring in the new with good friends, or branch out and meet new ones.  

With over 200 resorts, France remains the number one destination for British skiers, and despite being the busiest and most expensive time to travel, the Christmas and New Year period sees hordes of visitors to its slopes each season. The appeal of a New Year ski holiday in France is obvious - the chance to explore the French Alps and such internationally - renowned circuits as Three Valleys, Portes du Soleil, Espace Killy and Paradiski, whilst enjoying the convivial après-ski environment off the slopes. A great way to see how another country celebrates, a New Year ski holiday in France boasts local bars full of character, as well as lively bars and discos, and a host of fantastic restaurants, from cosy bistros and brasseries, to upscale gourmet restaurants. Home to world-famous resorts boasting exceptional ski conditions, a New Year ski holiday in France features resorts such as La Plagne, Meribel, Tignes, Val Thorens, as well as charming mountain villages oozing French charm, such as Montgenevre and Chatel. Non-skiers can soak up the atmosphere on a New Year ski holiday in France, too, as the many well-equipped resorts boast excellent facilities, such as spas, health centres and gyms, and off-the-slope activities such as ice-skating, tobogganing, snowmobiling, and for the adventurous, even paragliding.   

 

Often more popular than a Christmas ski holiday in France, a New Year ski holiday in France is an ideal way for skiers to spend those extra days off before returning to work. Due to heavy demand, New Year ski holidays in France command high prices and must be booked in plenty of time to ensure just the right dates and accommodation choices. The most sought after resorts, those such as Val d'Isere, Courchevel and Chamonix, tend to see plenty of repeat business each season, and get booked up very early, but skiers are rewarded with fantastic skiing and a very memorable way of ringing in the New Year.
