Skiing Holidays
Divided into two provinces, Savoy in the north, containing Mont Blanc, and Dauphine in the south, home to Grenoble, the main city of the alps, the French Alps are a popular and diverse region. There are over 200 resorts in the Alps, with Chamonix, Megeve and Val d'Isere being the most popular. Chamonix features the world's highest cable car, and Mont Blanc, the highest peak in Western Europe, is near Chamonix. Annecy has lantern lit lanes, Chambery contain the most history, and Grenoble is the largest city in the French Alps.
