New for 2027: French Summer Camp Chamonix

Book your French + Ski Course

Snow has arrived in the French Alps!

It’s only November 8th and already we have a lot of snow falling in Morzine and Avoriaz with a lot more forecast over the next week! This is the best start to the season that the French Alps has seen for years. The cold autumn and the abundance of early snow is always a great start to the winter season. With locals announcing one of the coldest winter for years, this means that the snow is here to stay and that the ski season looks like it will be one of the best for many years :)
