Many ski resorts in France still offer the traditional, rustic feel.  Try Les Gets or Morzine in the Portes du Soleil.  You’ll find a classic style chalets and a village type atmosphere in all of these resorts.

Great for Ski Holidays in Early and Late Season

Many French ski resorts are purpose-built and have been created at high altitudes.  This means they can pretty much guarantee good snow conditions from the start to the end of the season. 

Val Thorens is the highest ski resort in Europe at 2300m, but the villages of Courchevel 1850, Tignes, Val d’Isere and Arcs 2000 are all above 1800m at resort level, and go much higher.  This makes them great choices for early and late season.
