France - Winter Ski and Snowboarding & Summer Active Holidays:
The French Alps, Pyrenees and Ardeche are an excellent holiday destination for both winter and summer adventure and active breaks. French ski resorts such as Chamonix, Val d'Isere and Meribel are famous worldwide for the slopes and terrain.
Favourite places to visit include Chamonix, at the foot of Mont Blanc, Courchevel and Meribel, both part of the extensive 3 Valleys ski area, Morzine, les Arcs and Alpe d'huez. The range of resorts varies from the lively and glamorous, to the more peaceful and calmer areas, with a wild, unspoilt beauty all their own.
Whatever your taste France will have something for you. Skiing can vary from high altitude glacier skiing, to gentle slopes taking you down to charming villages with typical chocolate box appeal.
The country also makes an excellent base for summer activity holidays - where the choice of things to do is vast - such as hiking and walking, mountain biking, climbing, paragliding, tennis, golf, riding,and generally relaxing and enjoying the scenery.
