At VIP SKI, we’re often guilty of talking about ‘ski holidays’ as a catch-all term, but rest assured, we welcome and cater to snowboarders, too. Our holidays are perfect for skiers and snowboarders alike.
Snowboarding resorts in the Alps
With over 250 ski resorts across France, choosing the right one for your next snowboarding holiday can be overwhelming. That’s where we step in. We’ve done the hard work so you don’t have to.
Our French resorts are some of the best destinations in the world for both skiing and snowboarding, boasting high altitude, reliable snowfall (and superb snowmaking facilities just in case), efficient lift systems, and, of course, our beautiful chalets perfect for relaxing after a day on the slopes.
Avoriaz
Avoriaz is the highest resort in the Portes du Soleil ski area, with underrated off-piste and great terrain parks. The wider area gives access to 650km of pistes in 14 resorts and two countries, no snowboarder will be bored exploring here; think wide open powder fields, snow parks and boardercross, there’s a full blown superpipe and an eco park, the Burton Stash, twisting through the woods with natural freestyle features. If you’re looking for snowboarding lessons Evolution 2 has a range of classes to ensure you’re shredding up the piste at the end of the week.
La Plagne
La Plagne is a top destination for snowboarding enthusiasts, offering a wide variety of terrain that caters to all levels. With over 225 km of pistes, including plenty of powder-filled bowls and exciting freestyle areas, it’s a perfect resort to explore on your snowboard. Whether you're a beginner looking to master the basics or an experienced rider chasing adrenaline, La Plagne’s terrain parks, off-piste runs, and varied slopes ensure an unforgettable snowboarding experience. Plus, with our La Plagne luxury chalets, you can relax and recharge in style after an action-packed day on the slopes.
Val d'Isere
One of the most popular and well known of our French resorts, Val d’Isere lives up to its reputation as one of the best resorts for both snowboarding and skiing holidays; offering a huge and varied terrain, at high altitude, with a great snow record, lively après ski and quality accommodation.
Snowboarders will delight to know there are very few drag lifts here or irritating flats. The park has lots to offer for all abilities, and if you want to try your hand in the pipe there is one in neighbouring Tignes.
If it’s off-piste you’re hankering for, then hire a guide to show you the best of what is on offer here. On piste there’s a huge array of slopes that any boarder would enjoy riding. Our partners at Oxygene, TDC and Evolution2 offer various snowboarding lessons.
Arc 1950
Arc 1950, and the Paradiski in general, are renowned as great resorts for snowboarding with heaps of powder snow and lots of wide, well-groomed pistes to choose from. Despite being an incredibly popular resort, the vast expanse of snow to explore means you're unlikely to be queuing anywhere for long. For the thrill-seekers, head to Apocalypse Park which is filled with rails and boxes for snowboarders of all abilities. Our friends at Evolution2 and Supreme Ski offer private and group snowboard lessons for all levels.
Snowboarders of all abilities will thrive
From complete beginners to seasoned pros, each one of our resorts offers something for every skill level. Our trusted ski and snowboard school partners will ensure your first experience is a safe and fun introduction, and by the end of the week you’ll be shrieking with joy when you link more than 10 turns without falling. Our instructors will encourage more advanced boarders to ride fakie, or teach you how to nail your first grab.
