March Skiing

So many great ski holidays at the Hotel Christiania in Les Gets are missed out on because too many people think that ski season ends when March rolls in. Even though this may be true in terms of some of the lower altitudes, the Les Gets resort is quite close to Mt. Blanc and it benefits from this proximity with a micro-climate all its own. During this time ski season is actually wonderful because there is sufficient snow cover between Christmas and Easter. As this picture taken in Les Gets yesterday shows we still have lots of snow with clear blue skies.

Les Gets 1st March 2012

If you have never been to Les Gets its great place for your family ski holiday from restaurants near the slopes to pubs and bars, grills, pizzerias and brassieres, a Les Gets ski holiday will not see you go hungry. There are also a good number of shops where you can find souvenirs as well as shops in which to hire equipment. A few ardent skiers that come back yearly may have their own equipment but others need to rely on hiring equipment during their stay here in Les Gets.

It is true that we are nearing the end of the ski season even in the French Alps but it is not too late to take advantage of some amazing deals and enjoy a bit of time away from the everyday monotony of the workday life. There is no lovelier scenery on earth and while the weather is not too awfully cold the snow cover is still sufficient for some amazing lessons from expert British instructors. You may be spending your holiday in France and French may be the language used about town, but you can be confident that your ski lessons will be taught in English. When in Les Gets, ski by day and play by night. Isn’t this what a ski holiday is all about after all?
