Discover the Future of French Mountain Tourism

Oct 8
2 min read


French mountain resorts are redefining winter tourism by offering innovative activities beyond skiing. These developments are designed to cater to a wider audience, including non-skiers, families, and adventure enthusiasts, making group travel to France’s iconic mountain destinations more diverse and exciting than ever.


Key Highlights of Winter 2026-2027:


  • Under-Ice Exhibition in Tignes: A unique cultural experience awaits with “Here Begins the Ocean”, an underwater art exhibition beneath Tignes’ frozen lake at 2,100 meters altitude. Created by artist Laurence Chilin and polar explorer Alban Michon, this exhibition will later move to the lake’s shores for broader accessibility.


  • Thrill-Seeking Activities: Resorts are introducing adrenaline-pumping attractions like the SlalomFly, Europe’s longest zipline with 720° turns at Saint-Sorlin-d’Arves, mountain kart tracks in La Toussuire and Val Thorens, and two kilometers of rail sledding in Gréolières-les-Neiges.


  • Immersive and Educational Experiences: Courchevel offers Fera Lumia, a unique night-time sledding experience combining light and sound effects. Val Cenis features a 126-meter panoramic bridge showcasing educational content about glaciers and alpine biodiversity. Chamrousse is reviving the legacy of the 1968 Grenoble Winter Olympics with a new cultural space.


  • Skiing Remains Central: While diversifying their offerings, French resorts continue to invest heavily in skiing infrastructure. Modernized gondolas and multi-service buildings aim to ensure comfort and accessibility for skiers, pedestrians, and individuals with reduced mobility.


Why Choose French Mountains for Group Travel?


With €555 million invested in ski domains in 2025 alone, French resorts are committed to delivering world-class facilities and experiences. By combining thrilling activities, cultural immersion, and sustainable tourism initiatives, France remains the ultimate destination for group travel, whether for corporate incentives, leisure groups, or educational trips.
