Your February ski vacations
The February holidays are the perfect time to go on a ski holiday with family or friends. Take advantage of your holiday to breathe in the fresh mountain air. Many resorts offer rental apartments or chalets. The Pyrenees, the Alps or the Massif Central, which destination will you choose? Imagine alternating between skiing, dog sledging, ice skating and enjoying a Savoyard fondue...it's a dream come true!
Your February ski holiday, a frost-covered trip!
What do you have planned for the February holidays? The mountain is ready and waiting: alpine skiing, ski touring and snowshoeing, plus raclette dinners are a shoo-in ...you certainly won't be bored!
There's something for everyone. Families will appreciate the "Famille Plus" labelled resorts such as Font-Romeu, La Plagne or Val d'Allos. This means that a special welcome is reserved for families with appropriate infrastructures, activities and services offered on site. Groups of friends will opt for lively resorts like Les 2 Alpes or budget resorts like Risoul. Looking for a vast ski area? Then Val Thorens, Les Arcs or Pyrénées 2000 are for you. If you prefer village resorts with old-fashioned charm, take a look at the village of Valloire or Les Saisies.
As far as activities are concerned, young and old alike will find something to enjoy. You may have already practised “classic” winter sports such as downhill skiing, ski touring, snowshoeing or snowboarding. The most popular activity is skiing and that's good because the ski areas offer a wide variety of areas for all levels: beginners' areas, nursery slops, fun areas, snow parks, etc.
If you're after some unusual activities during your February ski holiday, try:
- Snake Gliss: a group activity with a caterpillar of sledges tied to one another.
- Ice climbing: we provide all the equipment, all you have to do is climb.
- Building your own Igloo: this activity is great fun for your little wolves.
- A dog sledge ride: meet the dogs and their masters and enjoy a magical moment.
- Fat biking: if you like mountain biking, this one is for you! This is a bike with thick tires that will allow you to pedal on snow.
- Ice diving. This activity is great for the daring folk among you!
Going skiing for the February holidays also means enjoying the après-ski. There's nothing like taking refuge in the warmth of a café, strolling from shop to shop or enjoying a cep fondue bought from one of the village's artisans.
