Those who have been on my blog for a long time will know that I’ve had many wonderful ski holidays in France at the Courchevel 1850. The sight is breath-taking, magnificent does not even begin to describe how one can feel when you are at the heart of these famous valleys. The largest skiing area in the world is found here on the French Alps and although I do like Whistler, Vancouver, Canada a lot too, I have to say that this is the perfect place to be whether in the winter or even the summer. Courchevel is always packed with tourists and local residents are very warm to tourists/vacationers like us. It’s organized and safe.
This is at La Saulire where my first skiing holidays began. There were many wonderful restaurants to choose from after a long day of play, and resorts are aplenty. They are all well furnished and you are not cut off from the rest of the world like some might think, internet access is within the hotel and even in your room.
Painted walls like this are not uncommon when you ski France the way I did for many years. There is so much more that the hotels/resorts can offer vacationers like us and you will be amazed that some resorts let you ski from your doorstep. Oh and don’t forget to get your massages and facial treatments as well while you are at it. Skiing in France or even in Whistler need not be expensive at all, it is not only for the rich, trust me.
