Who said that summer was the best time to embark on a tour of France? If your group of loved ones prefers water in its solid state and cheese in its liquid state, a ski vacation  with friends is for you! To get your feet on the slopes or under the table, get ready for a tour of French ski resorts in 9 steps!

Stay n 1 Tapas on the slopes of the Pyrenees

Are you still hesitating between a stay in summer or winter? A ski holiday with friends in the Pyrenees is the right compromise. A few kilometers from the Spanish borders, you can enjoy tapas and sunny slopes on the estate. It will remind you a little of the Andalusian beaches without the people and the stifling heat…

So convinced? All you have to do is put on your snow boots and your down jacket and head to the mountains of the South-West! From Béarn to Catalonia, around thirty ski resorts run along the Pyrenees chain. Here, a whole bunch of activities await you. It’s up to you to choose between mountain sliding sessions or discovering Catalan and Béarn specialties at the foot of the area!

Stay n 2 Slalomer in Savoie

Want to spend a week skiing with friends? Meet at the famous Les Arcs station! This resort is located in the French Alps, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region or more precisely, in Savoie. ​​From sunrise, every day in Les Arcs is a blank canvas of fresh snow! Want to trace your own daring lines on the slopes of the domain? 

Get ready to embark on a week full of mountain adventures: After an intense morning on the slopes of Les Arcs, a break is in order. Meet in the high altitude chalets for a Savoyard fondue that will warm hearts! 

Then, we have lots of activities. Visits to the villages of the area, shopping in the mountains, or tobogganing and ice rink for the more daring… Les Arcs promises you a week overflowing with activities, laughter and memorable memories!

Stay n 3 Introduction to Corsican skiing

Do you still lack a little comfort for ski cross? We therefore advise you to start with Corsican skiing! And yes, it is possible to indulge in skiing, sledding, snowboarding… on the island of beauty.

Skiing in Corsica is a unique experience that combines the pleasure of skiing with surprisingly contrasting Mediterranean landscapes. Although Corsica is more often associated with its idyllic beaches and sparkling sunshine, we don’t say no to mountain activities in winter!

Asco, Ghisoni and Val d’Ese are the three Corsican resorts where you can go from water skiing to cross-country skiing. The advantage of winter holidays in Corsica? If one of your friends doesn’t like the altitude, they can always go back down to the coast and lounge on the beach.

Stay 4 Deep snow and melted cheese

If for you winter sport rhymes with cheese, we recommend spending your skiing holiday with friends in the Jura! Comté, Morbier, Mont d’Or, Cancoillotte, Bleu de Gex… to be enjoyed raw or melted, the region is full of delicious cheese specialties. So if you’re not a fan of snow sports, there’s no need to refine your skiing techniques. While your friends tour the stations, tour the cheese factories! 

Stay n 5 Descent with a view of the Mediterranean

Do you spend all your summers with your friends on the Côte d’Azur, your phone ringtones are cicada songs and you practice speaking with an accent all year round? This winter, during your ski vacation with friends, you will be able to ski without taking your eyes off the Mediterranean! Turini-Camp d’argent is one of the many resorts in the Alpes Maritimes and offers breathtaking views of the sea. To rent your ski balls or ski suits, you will only need your phone and the Chèque app -Vacation !

Stay 6 Sauerkraut at altitude

Smaller, more family-friendly, greener and closer to big cities like Paris, Lille or Brussels, the Vosges resorts have many advantages. To spend a skiing holiday with friends, for a few days or to take a break at altitude, this is the ideal place. As the end-of-year holidays approach, the region is teeming with Christmas markets where it’s great to stroll with friends. Thanks to your Holiday Vouchers, enter a winstub and warm up with a delicious sauerkraut!

Stay 7 Glide across the roof of Europe

By choosing Savoie and Mont Blanc for a ski holiday with friends, you are sure not to go wrong! Those with a sweet tooth will enjoy a tartiflette, the more sporty will try the red and black slopes and the more party-loving ones will enjoy the liveliness of the Alpine resorts! Luxurious, family, sporty or festive atmosphere, with more than a hundred resorts scattered throughout the Northern Alps, we are sure that you will find what you are looking for! 

Stay n 8 Like children in Val Thorens

Ready to slide down the slopes like kids? Welcome to the kingdom of Val Thorens, the resort where the snow is as abundant as the tips for not being cold at the top of the mountains! Here, every day is an opportunity to perfect your style of descent or master the subtle art of the graceful fall…

Between wild descents, take the time to relax in a cozy chalet, sipping a hot chocolate while planning your next skiing conquest. And if the adrenaline of the slopes isn’t enough, try alternative activities like snowshoe hiking, sledding or even a snowball fight worthy of a winter epic.

You will have understood, Val Thorens is the ideal resort for a trip with friends! So, get ready for an epic journey, frozen memories, and unforgettable laughs. Val Thorens awaits you with open arms and icy slopes!
