The 10 sunniest <red>ski resorts</red>.

The article in a nutshell

Today, we're talking about those magical places where the sky is bluer, the sun brighter, and the snow... oh, so perfect. Yes, we're talking about skiing, but not just any skiing: skiing in glorious sunshine! 🌞

You may have heard of the Portes du Soleil ski area, a veritable colossus of slopes that includes stars like Châtel, Abondance, Avoriaz, Morzine, Les Gets in France, and even Swiss beauties like Morgins or Val d'Illiez. An international domain to dream about, isn't it? 🎿

But hang on to your hats, because we're about to explore another path. 😲 We're diving into the bright heart of the Alps and Pyrenees to discover France's 10 sunniest ski resorts! That's right, we're leaving the Portes du Soleil behind to find our favorite star high above our heads. 👌

Without further ado, here are the 10 sunniest ski resorts in our beautiful France! 🚀

Summary

🌞 Isola 2000: Sun and ski, what a winning combo!

Isola 2000 is the sunny nugget in the Southern Alps, where the sun's rays caress the slopes all year round. A well-kept little secret (not so much actually 😅), where the sun's brilliance is matched only by the beauty of the scenery. 🌄

We go there for the clean air, the breathtaking panoramic views (damn, we just said the air was clean 🤣), but above all for cross-country and touring skiing that perfectly combines sport and pleasure at over 2000 meters altitude.

🌄 Risoul, where the blue sky puts on a show

Here in Risoul, blue skies aren't just wallpaper, they're a daily reality that delights skiers (and hot chocolate drinkers on the terrace!). ⛷️

With its slopes winding through majestic larch forests, Risoul offers a unique skiing experience. Between its wide expanses of white and its breathtaking views over the Durance valley, the resort stands proudly (easy when you're 1,850 m tall! 😅), promising memorable days of skiing. 🏞️

Far from the crowds and hustle and bustle of the big resorts, Risoul cultivates a relaxed family spirit. It's the ideal place for vacations where young and old alike can share the pleasure of skiing under a generous sun. For families, the watchwords are simple: fun and conviviality above all! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

🌨️ Serre Chevalier: Brilliant snow in bright sunshine

Serre Chevalier isn't just a resort, it's a snow-covered jewel shining in the bright sunshine, a veritable Eden for ski lovers. 🌟

What makes Serre Chevalier unique is its ability to combine tradition and innovation. The village retains an authentic charm, with its narrow streets and buildings steeped in history. And yet, the lifts and equipment are state-of-the-art, guaranteeing maximum comfort and safety. 🏘️

Serre Chevalier is a paradise for families. With slopes to suit all abilities and activities such as tobogganing, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing, there's something for every member of the family. It's the ideal place to create unforgettable memories, all under a generous sun. ☀️

Finally, let's not forget Serre Chevalier's commitment to sustainable tourism. The resort takes concrete steps to protect its magnificent environment, ensuring that future generations can also enjoy this jewel of the French Alps. It's alpine adventure with an ecological conscience. 🌍

☀️ Alpe d'Huez: Sunshine on the dream slopes

Alpe d'Huez is a bit like the Saint-Tropez of the mountains, without the sea, but with just as much sunshine! This resort has a knack for making winter rhyme with light, offering days of skiing bathed in radiant sunshine that warms hearts and toes. 🌞

On the practical side, Alpe d'Huez has everything you could dream of for a skiing vacation:

  • a wide range of slopes for all levels,

It's the promise of a hassle-free holiday, where the only worry is choosing between hot chocolate and mulled wine. 🍷

The slopes, situated between 1,800 and 2,200 meters above sea level, offer breathtaking views of the Pyrenees chain and the vast Roussillon plain. It's a stage where nature puts on its finest show. 🌄

🌤️ Chamonix-Mont-Blanc: under the sun, ski without stopping

Chamonix-Mont-Blanc is much more than a resort, it's a myth! Nestled at the foot of Mont Blanc, this legendary Haute-Savoie resort is a veritable paradise. 😇

Chamonix is a destination rich in history and culture. The village, with its authentic charm, offers :


And with Mont-Blanc Unlimited, the seasonal package, access a world of possibilities that extends far beyond the borders of our beloved France. 🧀

🇮🇹 La Rosière: How would you like to soak up some Italian sunshine?

Located on the French-Italian border, La Rosière offers a unique skiing experience with breathtaking views of the Tarentaise valley and the majestic Alpine range. The skiable slopes stretch out in a picture-postcard setting, where every glance (no, this one doesn't hurt 😜) reveals an incredible new landscape. 🏔️

In short, La Rosière is Savoy charm, Italian elegance and sunshine that knows no half measures. A place where a descent is a journey and a ray of sunshine, a smile. So, are you ready for a sunny getaway on the border between two worlds? 🎿

🌅 La Plagne: When the sun kisses the slopes

Spread over a vast ski area, La Plagne is characterized by its diversity: ten villages, each with its own atmosphere and character. Here, you can glide through snow-covered forests or down wide, open slopes, all bathed in golden light. 🌞

But La Plagne isn't just a playground for skiers. It's also a place where innovation meets tradition. With modern facilities like the Vanoise Express, the world's largest cable car, you can easily explore the vast expanses before you. And all under an almost permanent blue sky! 🚠

🌞 Montgenèvre: Light and glide, what a delight!

Montgenèvre, the jewel in the crown of the Hautes-Alpes, shines brightly in the generous sunshine. One of France's oldest ski resorts, this historic destination boasts a unique blend of traditional charm and modern pistes. 🏔️

What sets Montgenèvre apart is its incredible ski area, connected to the Italian Milky Way, it offers skiers over 400 km of pistes (yes, that's a lot! 😲 ).

The village, with its 18th-century buildings, tells a fascinating story, a fusion of French and Italian Alpine culture. Strolling through its streets is like traveling back in time, under a sky that always seems blue. 🌄

🎿 Puy Saint Vincent: Between sun and powder, the happy few

Puy Saint Vincent, nicknamed "Protected from the Winds", is a Hautes-Alpes treasure trove, where generous sunshine meets stretches of immaculate powder. Set back from the main tourist routes, this resort has a warm, authentic atmosphere, perfect for those looking to get away from it all. ☀️

Puy Saint Vincent isn't just a ski resort, it's a true haven of peace. The village, with its narrow streets and traditional chalets, exudes a picturesque charm. The welcome here is warm, and you quickly feel part of the community. It's a skiing experience far removed from the hustle and bustle of the big resorts (you can tell I like small resorts personally? 😅 ), where you can really reconnect with nature and the mountains. 🏘️
