Avoriaz

This is the perfect place to go with children. The area is car free, only horse-drawn carriages can be seen here. The Place central in Avoriaz hosted, for over 30 years, the ‘Village des enfants’. Kids between 3 to 16 years old learn here how to ski, but the ‘Village des enfants’ also entertains kids during the blizzard and bad weather. A great place for families!
Tignes and Val d’Isere

Over 320 km of trails wait for you here, with the highest lift at 3,456m. do I need to say more? Keep in mind that Tignes has the most extensive glacier skiing in France, and it is one of the highest in altitude in France. The two resorts are perfect for all levels of skier and snowboarder.
