France

In the French Alps you will find perhaps Europe's best skiing. Not only is the highest peak in the entire mountain range we call the Alps located here (Mont Blanc, which is 4810 meters high), here you will find plenty of ski resorts at high altitude, which provide both long slopes, good and lots of snow and excellent opportunities for off-piste skiing. For example, there is one of the world's longest pistes in Chamonix, a full 22 kilometers of high-class piste in a single run!

Skiing holiday for the sake of skiing

Although the party possibilities are very good in the larger ski resorts in the French Alps, it is above all the skiing that is central here. While many young skiers prefer, for example, Austria to combine skiing with partying, the more serious skiers usually choose France. If you want to party, there are definitely opportunities, but if you are still in France, perhaps you should concentrate on enjoying high-class food and good wines in a calmer atmosphere to be able to enjoy the high-class skiing on offer.
