Skiing Us Open
Comments (0) 
The world of skiing is becoming increasingly interesting as borders open new resorts, offering fans the chance for snow sports ski in more exotic locations than ever before. Japan, Chile, Lebanon, Slovakia, Bulgaria and many more countries not renowned for their mountains are attracting British skiers who are looking for a ski experience that is a bit unusual.
However, despite the availability of these new destinations, which are gaining a bigger slice of the ski market, France remains the most popular resort for the British, and not difficult see why.
France offers arguably the best skiing in Europe, with dozens of major resorts in the Alps, not to mention the lesser known mountain range of the Pyrenees. It also has one of the best cuisines in the world, and because the highest mountains in Europe (with resorts like Val Thorens), can be pretty sure that in truth have no real snow to ski on, even in this era of global warming that threatens the survival of the ski areas situated at lower altitudes. And on top all this, very close to France to the UK and the many cheap flights now available means that skiers can be on the slopes in just a few hours.
Stations like Brides Les Bains, Tignes Val Claret, Morzine, La Clusaz, Chamonix, Thollon and Les Arcs are all close to major airports, and increasingly with the airlines that offer low prices on flights to Lyon and Geneva, to reach these places is easy and fast and not break the bank.
France also offers skiing in the lesser-known ranges of the Massif Central and the Pyrenees, mountains that are completely separated from the Alps. Although not as famous or fashionable as the better known French resorts, these areas can offer cheaper and often quiet alternatives to old favorites.
So while some skiing and snowboarding snow adventurers seek further, very close to France in the UK, ease of access and low cost of traveling there is likely to keep it at number one as a ski playground of Brit's favorite.
