Hotels in French Alps, France

The French Alps stretch across southeastern France, famous for their dramatic peaks like Mont Blanc and world-class ski resorts such as Chamonix and Courchevel. Winters are cold and snowy (averaging 20-30°F / -6 to -1°C), perfect for skiing and snowboarding on over 400 miles of slopes, while summers are mild (60-75°F / 15-24°C) and ideal for hiking the Tour du Mont Blanc trail or paragliding over Lake Annecy, a crystal-clear alpine lake. You can explore the Aiguille du Midi cable car for panoramic views of the Mont Blanc massif, or visit the region's lower valleys like the Maurienne for budget-friendly mountain biking and via ferrata routes without expensive lift passes.
