March Ski Deals

In short, France has some incredible spots for March skiing. Here are some of our highlights:

• Val Thorens
  As the highest resort in Europe at an impressive altitude of 2,300m, Val Thorens pretty much guarantees excellent snow throughout the whole of March. Being part of the extensive Les Trois Vallées ski area means you’ll have access to a jaw-dropping 600km of pistes cut across all its 7 resorts, giving you more than enough to explore in only a week. The resort is also a one-stop-shop if you’re after late-night partying and epic nights out, with legendary venues like La Folie Douce and Bar 360 serving up signature shots, table-top dancing and unmissable mountain parties you definitely won’t forget in a hurry.
• Tignes
  With the vast Grande Motte Glacier on its side, the purpose-built ski resort of Tignes promises reliable snow conditions even as the warmer spring months approach. In fact, thanks to its generously long season and impressive altitude, Tignes offers year-round skiing, giving ski fanatics the chance to get their snow fix throughout the summer. Its varied terrain offers something for skiers of all levels and abilities – from first-timers looking to learn the basics and build confidence to freeriders wanting to explore untracked backcountry trails and deep snowpacks. Best of all, its high-altitude base means you can ski right back to your doorstep – aka no walking for miles in your ski boots!
• Les Deux Alpes
  An absolute playground for spring skiing, Les Deux Alpes combines access to the largest skiable glacier in Europe with one of the longest ski seasons around. Snow cover is reliable well into March, and the resort’s renowned snowpark is a magnet for freestylers looking to master jumps, jibs, j-turns, side slips and every other manoeuvre you can think of. But it’s not just for park rats – incredible “pinch-me” mountain views and a decent selection of pistes make it a top-tier pick for all levels, especially larger groups where there are mixed abilities to cater for.
• Méribel
  Sitting right at the heart of Les Trois Vallées, Méribel is a firm favourite for its picture-postcard-worthy resort centre and lively atmosphere. The resort’s high-altitude slopes are arguably even better in March than in peak season, and the wide, perpetually groomed pistes are perfect for families and intermediate skiers looking for some fun slopes to play on. For more experienced skiers, Mont Vallon offers a varied selection of challenging runs with jaw-dropping views. When the lifts close for the day, the après-ski comes alive with legendary spots Le Rond Point and La Taverne serving up incredible late-night party action well into the early hours.
• Chamonix
  If you’re after iconic off-piste terrain, Chamonix should be at the very top of your list. March is prime time to tackle the legendary Vallée Blanche, a 20km off-piste route combining adventure with jaw-dropping scenery – and not forgetting to mention an adrenaline-inducing 2800m vertical drop from Aiguille du Midi back into resort! While it’s renowned for its challenging runs, intermediates won’t feel left out, with areas like Le Brévent and La Flégère offering more than enough to explore. Add to that a lively town with buzzing nightlife and cosy restaurants, and you’ve got the full package.
