Ski Christmas and New Year in the French Alps
Arrival dates over Christmas and New Year
This year, Christmas falls on a Saturday so, for many properties, whilst we have not completely finalised our arrival days for December 2021, we anticipate that there may be some changes to the usual Saturday start date over this period only.
Dates will vary by property so do check but provisionally Christmas week skiing could start on Saturday 18th December 2021, with check out Sunday 26th December, so you're home and have enough time to unpack before New Year's Eve! While New Year week could commence on Sunday 26th December 2021 allowing time to get ready for the celebration and to recover before checking out on Sunday 2nd January 2022!
So December 2021 and January 2022 could look like this in many of our properties:
- Saturday 18th December - Sunday 26th December 2021 (8 nights)
- Sunday 26th December 2021 - Sunday 2nd January 2022 (7 nights)
- Sunday 2nd January - Sunday 9th January 2022 (7 nights)
- Sunday 9th January - Saturday 15th January 2022 (6 nights)
Following that arrivals would revert to Saturday as usual in most cases.
Traditionally in France Christmas is celebrated on Christmas Eve. French families gather in the evening to have their big Christmas meal and the 25th December is more of a relaxed affair. New Year is celebrated in the usual way with street parties and fireworks displays across the Alps.

You could try snowshoeing, dog sledding, horse-drawn carriage rides, sledging, ice skating, retail therapy, spa treatments, restaurant hopping...each resort has many activities on offer in addition to the ski slopes and most put together a special Christmas and New Year programmes.
