Explore the Savoie Region on a Skiing Holiday in France
July 1st, 2010 | 
Author: There are ski resorts dotted across Europe but few boast the majesty and beauty of the Savoie region of France.
Comprised of eight different ski resorts, the area offers slopes to cater for all, whether you are a seasoned veteran or a complete beginner.
Three of the most popular runs in the Savoie region are located in the three valleys, or Les 3 Vallees to give them their French name.
Courchevel, Meribel and Val Thorens offer amazing challenges in addition to beautiful scenery, magical chalets and delightful bars and restaurants.
Home to the Combe Saulire, the north facing run which is best enjoyed first thing in the morning, Courchevel is an extremely popular destination for people on skiing holidays in France.
Obtaining ski passes to the Meribel area is recommended as well.
Sandwiched between Val Thorens and Courchevel, Meribel is probably the best place to stay if you want to explore the whole three valleys region.
If your skiing skills are sharp then you will want to test yourself on the red Combe Vallon.
Val Thorens completes the three valleys area and also offers the highest altitude skiing in the region.
Highlights include the Cime de Caron and Combe Rosael, the latter of which offers a number of different challenges.
You will not regret the decision to explore the ski resorts of Savoie, with all eight promising quaint chalets, restaurants, bars and plenty in the way of entertainment.
