Go skiing? Only in the Alps! – main image

A winter ski trip is often associated with recreation in Austria, Slovakia or Switzerland. Meanwhile, France also has a lot to offer in the field of ski resorts. In this country, there are over 400 well-organized resorts for winter sports enthusiasts, located both in the Alps and the Pyrenees, the Vosges Mountains, the Central Massif and the Jura. The season in the French Alps lasts from December to April, but the greatest number of tourists can be expected in February and March.

If choosing a place for an adventurous skiing holiday remains a problem, we recommend Les Deux Alpes. This place is located high in the northern French Alps, has an extensive infrastructure in terms of lifts, well-adapted routes, but also gastronomy and dance venues. Les 2 Alpes offers slopes for all levels of skiers, and access to all of them is really easy. Les Deux Alpes is located relatively close to the famous Grenoble, called the capital of the Alps, so apart from going crazy on the slopes or in clubs, you can also visit one of the iconic places for lovers of history (and even prehistory;)).

A resort full of possibilities

Les 2 Alpes is a resort very famous and appreciated by skiers and snowboarders all over the world. The name of the center comes from the fact that it is located in two mountain pastures connected with each other by a modern network of lifts. The varied routes cover as much as 220 km, and you can test your driving skills in the snow park with a wide offer, divided into sections for advanced skaters and beginners. Around Les 2 Alpes you can enjoy a panoramic view of mountains over 3,000 meters high, and the resort itself is situated on the border of the southern and northern Alps. Such a picturesque location, and at the same time excellent conditions, make the resort attract numerous lovers of skiing almost from the very beginning (in the 1940s). Of course, today the infrastructure and all the lifts are modern, but it is worth mentioning that, unlike most French resorts, this place has a fairly rich tradition.

More fun in the Alps?

For lovers of extreme experiences, the station has something special up its sleeve - the possibility of riding the Mont de Lans glacier route (actually one of the eight routes available there, served by a total of 12 small T-bar and chairlifts). The snow park, on the other hand, is located at an altitude unprecedented in other places, at 3200 meters above sea level, and offers numerous attractions as well as excellent dining facilities. It is worth noting that Les 2 Alpes is also a perfect place for lovers of cross-country skiing - here, however, you should be especially careful (especially around the glacier). If, on the other hand, we are temporarily bored with madness on the slope, you can always spend time actively in one of the sports centers, where a solid, exhausting training can be completed with relaxation in the swimming pool, sauna or jacuzzi. In the event of possible injuries, the services of physiotherapists and masseurs are available. Summing up, it can be said that the center is prepared to meet the expectations of all types of guests. We welcome both loners facing their own limitations, couples wishing to have a nice (but also entertaining) time, as well as families with children eager to rest. Les 2 Alpes is a place for everyone.

Barcelonnette - Spanish in name only
In the Provencal Alps, at the confluence of two beautiful valleys, there is a French town with a Spanish-sounding name and architecture with distinct Mexican accents. This is Barcelonnette, which has numerous ski resorts as its neighbors, and itself tempts with something completely different - a specific atmosphere, the possibility of blissful relaxation or active time spent among pristine Alpine nature. "Barcelonnette", naturally, is associated with Barcelona and is translated as a diminutive of its name. In terms of architecture, however, it does not resemble much the center famous for the Sagrada Familia temple or residential buildings designed by Antonio Gaudi (including Casa Batlló, Casa Vicens). The city owes its name to the fact that Ramon Berenguer IV, who founded it in the 13th century, was also the ruler of the seat of Catalonia. Barcelonnette is surrounded by Alpine peaks, the largest of which, Grand Berard, rises above the horizon north of the city. On the other side, the sky is decorated with Le Chapeau de Gendarme, considered the most picturesque of all the peaks that cast a shadow over the valleys of the Ubaye River and its tributary, the Bachelard. The town is beautifully situated on the flat bottom of the valley, and a little higher, in the background, there are pastures and meadows. Between them, small hamlets nestled in the landscape, looking as if time had stopped there for at least half a century. Even higher, the areas are covered with pine forests, and above them you can see the mountain peaks, jagged like the edges of a cordon handkerchief. What could be a more relaxing sight, what better place to holiday in the Alps than a campsite in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region ?.
