Alpine Wellness Index: Europe's Best Mountain Resorts for Year-Round Wellbeing

France is one of the most popular countries for ski holiday in the world, and for good reason. It’s home to some of the largest linked ski areas in the Alps, state-of-the-art lifts and outstanding food.
The most popular ski areas in France include the famous Espace Killy, linking Val D’Isère and Tignes, and the hugely popular 3 Valleys including the lively Méribel, glamorous Courchevel and quaint St Martin de Belleville. But don’t be afraid to branch out and try other resorts, Les Arcs will offer you some of the best family ski chalets whilst sunny Alpe d’Huez boasts an amazing range of beginner slopes making it a wonderful resort to learn in!
Whichever resort you choose, French ski holidays are known for their excellent restaurants and local mountain specialities including raclette, tartiflette and fondue! Be sure to accompany these with some top-drawer local wines and don’t miss out on trying genepi, a traditional herbal digestif hugely popular in the mountains!
