When Do France’s Ski Resorts Open This Winter?
France’s ski resorts are starting to open by the end of November, aiming for a strong snow season to attract visitors. Some of the most famous resorts, like those in the Chamonix Valley, open before December, while many others are set to begin operations on December 6 and December 13.
One notable exception is Chalmazel in the Loire region, which will remain closed this year due to financial difficulties and concerns about insufficient snow.
Early snowfall in both the Alps and the Pyrénées has followed typical winter patterns so far, encouraging hopes for normal snow levels. However, a forecast of dry weather through mid-November might slow snow accumulation ahead of the critical opening dates.
