What kind of slopes can you expect to find and how much variety there is can greatly impact your choice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>French Alps<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The French Alps are famed worldwide for top-class skiing. Not only are they home to 200+ ski resorts, but skiers can also enjoy 10,158 kilometres of pistes, with varying difficulty. Whether you\u2019re a family of beginners or a group of experienced enthusiasts, the French Alps offer endless skiing options to all abilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>France tends to have bigger resorts than the Swiss Alps, so if you\u2019re a more advanced skier, who\u2019s keen to wake up for first lifts and ski until the last \u2013 France may be a better option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-swiss-alps\"><em>Swiss Alps<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Swiss Alps also boasts over 200 ski resorts, but compared to France there is slightly less domain to explore with 7,132 kilometres of skiable pistes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Magicpass<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A huge advantage of skiing in Switzerland is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magicpass.ch\/en\/pages\/validities-options-and-categories-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Magicpass<\/a> scheme. If you opt in to the scheme, you can access over 40 resorts, including 1100 km of slopes from the beginning of the summer season to the end of the following winter season for CHF 899.00 (prices may vary). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Discover both countries in one trip\u2026<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to discover the best of both the French and Swiss Alps on your ski holiday, then the Portes du Soleil is the place for you.

difficult to give a general indication of prices for all ski resorts in both countries. You can check <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skicollection.co.uk\/ski-extras\/ski-lift-passes-france\/#:~:text=the%20latest%20prices.%C2%A0-,Resort,-Ski%20Lift%20Pass\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>this website<\/strong><\/a> for a rough idea of lift pass prices in top resorts in France and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sno.co.uk\/ski-resort\/st-moritz\/ski-pass-st-moritz-lift-pass-prices\/#:~:text=Compare%20All%20Ski%20Lift%20Pass%20Prices%20in%20Switzerland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a> for the same in Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Costs will vary depending on which resort you visit and when. Lift passes significantly increase in price during peak times such as Christmas \/ New Year, half term and other school holidays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, the cost of your lift pass also depends on how much you want to ski. If you\u2019re keen to make the most of every minute of your holiday, then opt for a lift pass to cover all full days of your trip. If you\u2019re new to the sport and want to give it a go before committing, paying as you go might be a better way to spend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, another factor will be amount of resorts you want to ski in. Some ski resorts will allow you to opt-in or out of certain areas within the ski domain. So if you don\u2019t see yourself being able to ski the entire region, there\u2019s sometimes the option to stick to a smaller section for a lower price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Cost of accommodation<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, there is no general rule of thumb with costing of accommodation. Some resorts are much more expensive than others within both France and Switzerland. Factors which will impact the cost of accommodation include: capacity, proximity to the piste and town, facilities, etc. You can get a good idea of chalet prices in the French Alps by browsing some of our partner properties <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/en\/search?destination=0&noocc=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Cost of going out<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It depends where you eat, but overall, the cost of eating out in Switzerland is very high. This is where you may see a significant difference in holiday spending money compared with France. Eating out on the mountain can be expensive in any resort, but Switzerland does have a reputation for being a costly place to dine out, so you\u2019ll want to consider this especially if you\u2019re travelling with children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to find out more about the best apr\u00e8s-ski spots in the French Alps?
