The 2022/2023 ski season will start in France in a few weeks. And this year it’s Val Torrens who will be kicking off the big white circus on November 19th. Tignes will have its turn to open its slopes next week, but later than expected. Due to insufficient snow cover, the Savoyard resort was unable to open its ice rink for All Saints’ Day. Neighboring Val d’Isère is also planning the first weekend of songs on November 26 and 27.
The trends of the first reservation while waiting for the snow are the highest at the moment, experts report. The French, like foreigners, seem to be securing the 2023 winter holidays as a priority, and the end-of-year holidays. Apart from the accommodation, the ski courses are already going down a storm. The mountain, which is implementing an energy sobriety program, including a partial slowdown of lifts, is once again asserting its appeal this winter, despite announced or anticipated price increases at most resorts. Note that among the provided winter agenda is the Courchevel Méribel 2023 Alpine Skiing World Championships, which will be held from February 6 to 19, 2023 in both resorts of the 3 valleys.
