Despite the growing popularity of ski resorts across the world, by far the most popular destination for British skiers remains France. This is not just because it offers great value and ease of access to the slopes but also because French ski resorts are known for being family-friendly and are within easy reach of the UK.
There are almost 200 different ski resorts in France, large and small. Doing them all justice is impossible. Between them they offer thousands of kilometres of pistes for both snowboarders and skiers.
