Ski Resorts in France

Over the winter of 2019 I learned to ski, visiting seven resorts across the French Alps. Each one had its own character — they are collected here in the order I visited them.

Le Grand-Bornand

On an early Saturday morning (around 6 AM), I mounted all my Ski equipment on my bike and biked towards CERN to catch the bus. This was my first time skiing and it proved to be…

Les Gets

Crozet

Man skiing with his dog (because why not?).

Saint Gervais

This resort was tremendously vast and beautiful.

Les Contamines

This open lift is a bit terrifying for beginners (most people fall down on their first try).

Avoriaz

This was yet another vast ski resort with an on-site hotel (the maze-like building below).

La Clusaz

This was perhaps the best resort I visited. The weather was superb and the pistes were wide open.
