French Snowboarding Holiday Resorts

With so many snowboarding resorts in France to choose from, you may need some help. Here’s the French Connections guide to some of the most popular French snowboard resorts right now:

Snowboarding Holidays in Tignes, Val D’Isere

Tignes in the Val d’Isere area of the French Alps is said by many to be one of the premier snowboard resorts in France, and last year was even named as the Observer magazine’s top snowboard resort in the world. With 300km of piste, half-pipes, terrain parks and great off-piste boarding, you can see why. Because Tignes is part of the massive L’Espace Killy you’re guaranteed never to run out of terrain, which makes it a popular return destination for many snowboarders. The resort itself is classic Alpine French, with a good dose of cool.

Snowboarding Holidays in Les Arcs

The French Alps snowboard resorts which make up Les Arcs are a freerider’s paradise. There’s a huge variety of off piste terrain for free riders at five individual resorts; Bourg-Saint-Maurice, Arc 1600, Arc 1800, Arc 1950 and Arc 2000. Each has a different scene – most are chilled out and mellow, but Arc 1800 is more energetic. One of the greatest attractions of Les Arcs is its accessibility – you can catch the Eurostar train straight through to Bourg St Maurice.
