Families in search of some snow on their French holiday should consider staying in a self-catering property close to Val Thorens.
Here you’re guaranteed to have see a good dusting, says Clementine Blanchard, a spokeswoman for the Office du Tourisme de Val Thorens.
It’s ideal for those of you who like to stay active during your holiday in France, as you can enjoy mountain biking, skiing and tobogganing, as well as much more.
According to the Crystal Ski Industry Report 2010, France is the most popular country to take to the slopes, with Austria and Andorra also common choices.
Ms Blanchard says the three surrounding valleys make Val Thorens ideal for skiing, but there’s also an ice driving circuit and France’s longest toboggan run, which takes 45 minutes to go down.
If you and your family are new to the slopes, you’re in good hands in this region because there are runs suitable for all levels, she adds.
