France has over 200 ski resorts in 9 different regions. Rhone-Alpes and Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur have the lion's share of the resorts as the French Alps are contained within these two regions. The Airports of Lyon, Chambéry and Grenoble are buzzing throughout winter serving the big resorts of Tignes, Courchevel, Val d'Isere and Chamonix.

The Pyrenees is a decent alternative to the Alps with around 20 ski fields. Auvergne on the Massif Central does not have the altitude of the Alps, but is popular for cross country skiing and family friendly winter holidays.

It is useful to remember that many of these resorts have a summer side to them as well. They become hiking and mountain biking meccas when the snow is replaced by grass and flowers and Yoplait cows with brass bells. Many are also thermal spas so are busy year round.
