@@buggykiksak366 thank you mate 🙏 Yeah fair call on that one , they could be switched. I guess it’s just a personal opinion and there’s no right answer
J´étais en Autriche pour ouvrir la saison le week-end dernier ! top conditions sur les glaciers :) Mais là, tu m´a bien donné envie de faire un petit voyage en France prochainement ! Merci et bonne saison !
another amazing review. i did a month in courchevel 1650 last season based on your great reviews and chamonix the season before. i''m gonna put arc 1950 on the list and avoriaz for this season as ive been to the others you mentioned. all mentioned are amazing. thanks for the great content i'm gonna head to your website to see whats on offer.thanks a million,have a great season.
@@TheChizzletube thank you so much for your amazing feedback!!! I’m so glad I was able to help out. You’re gonna love Arc 1950 and Avoriaz. Totally different experience to Cham and Courch 😃👍
I have went to the Paradiski(Les arcs) ski area 5 times now, I'ts stunning. I've always gone near the end of the season but even then the snow is good(as long as you stay out of the woods:) I've stayed in the belambra hôtel in arc 2000 twice, it is very beatiful and the easy acces to the beautiful 1950 by foot is a certain plus. I've gone to the chantel part of arc 1800 3 times and it is even better, you get more calmness, easy acces to la plange(even on bad weather days) and to the snowpark. And if the visibility is low or the weather is harsh, just go to peisay-vallandry. So in a nutshell, on my top 1, Paradiski takes number 1!
I did all of them unless Val d’Isère that I will Put on my list Avoriaz is nice for families with young kids No cars which is great Meribel is nice as well as courchevel but a bit bling bling Val Thorens is my favorite as 2300 m resort is nice for a long season . I went there also for the closing the 4 th of may and snow was tremendous at 3300 m Cime Caron down to 2200 meters Key point is that this is great ski with large slops and also free skiing between those slopes Les Arcs is nice as well
@@Steph-iw3hr definitely put Val d’Isère on your list, it’s such a great village!! Looks like you’ve skied some good ones already. Have you been to La Rosière ? It has exceptional views, one of the snowiest ski resort in France and for sure the nicest sunsets in the French Alps.

Mmh not sure about adding Les 2 Alpes in the conversation 💬 I do like Les 2 Alpes and I’ve been there a few times but I think that is more part of a Top 10 as in 8th 9th or 10th at best. It definitely wouldn’t make my top 7 but I respect ✊ your opinion and we all have different taste . Thanks for sharing, I’m sure some viewers will agree with you
Thanks mate 🙏 I figured some people wouldn’t agree which is fair. I find the layout of Avoriaz and the views much nicer than Val Thorens. Hard to beat a pedestrian only village also. There quite a bit of inconsistency in the building architecture in Val Thorens compared to Avoriaz (Val Tho’s 1970s building not matching some of the more traditional chalet wooden style).Val Thorens also lacks tree skiing ⛷️ so definitely loses some points for that too. Hope that helps you understand my reasoning.
Nice. love my French ski resorts !! the food, the bread, cheese, wine, patisseries ! YUM. and of course the snow ! excellent snow with many resorts very very high !@ Ever skied Serre Chevalier ? it looks great. Even Montgenevre up the road, part of the Via Lattea, looks pretty awesome too?
@@topsnowtravel Personal preference is a key factor. Also to consider is when you're going, your skiing level, whether you have a preference for luxury accommodation and restaurants or you prefer something more rustic. For example one resort may be fantastic in the middle of January to but too busy to enjoy properly in the middle of school holidays.
The top 7 on this video is pretty consistent with other top French resorts I've seen, but 3 of them are all part of the 3 valleys ski area so are they really distinct resorts? We visited Serre Chevalier last year and enjoyed it so much we're going back this year. It's a beautiful place, no 5 star hotels, but very friendly and sunny. Not the highest resort around but high enough to offer mostly good snow, with lots of trees. It's good for intermediate level piste skiing but also a popular base for freeriders. It's a bit harder to reach than some others but that's also an advantage when you get there and find it much less crowded than the more famous northern resorts during school holidays.
@@nigelgb8408 yeah I know they are part of the same ski areas those 3 mentioned in the 3 Valleys but they are definitely so different from one another, big contrast in the villages and even within each valley. The fact that they’re linked is just a great bonus and you could easily have a blast in just skiing its own valley without venturing into the others.
The moment I saw Chamonix as No.7, I knew you’d be one of those people…it’s the mecca of the Alps and has some of the best skiing in the world! All the others you listed are for piste loving tourists, who often only ski half days and drink the rest, thinking they’re pros because they have the latest ski gear! 🥴 Anyone fortunate enough to visit any of these places should consider themselves lucky, but the ranking is off and you’re catering for a very specific type of skier. Should instead be titled as Top 7 Best Ski Resorts in France for Beginners Brits!
There’s no doubt Chamonix has some of the most beautiful mountain peaks and some incredible off-piste terrain. Isn’t piste skiing part of a ski resort? I didn’t title it “Top 7 Best Hardcore Off-Piste Ski Destination” did I? so your comment is not really valid and accurate but obviously everyone has there own opinion. It seems this video has made you angry for some reason 🫤
finally yes! been waiting for this one
@@igoplacessometimes it was overdue, sorry 😁
Top job mate! Cannot agree more, just myself i would switch arc 1950 with avoriaz, but anyway thats just me, thats a very swet job you are doing👍

@@wobbecraft I have to agree 👍 the ski area of Les Arcs is incredible, and those views 🤩
I did all of them unless Val d’Isère that I will Put on my list
Avoriaz is nice for families with young kids
No cars which is great
Meribel is nice as well as courchevel but a bit bling bling
Val Thorens is my favorite as 2300 m resort is nice for a long season . I went there also for the closing the 4 th of may and snow was tremendous at 3300 m Cime Caron down to 2200 meters

Nice review overall, but Avoriaz ahead of Val Thorens? Hard to understand.
