There are many destinations in France to go ski touring. One of the most famous perhaps
being Chamonix. Here you can access the Chamonix -
However there is more to France than Chamonix and you may find the desire for quieter ski touring spots overrides your desire to cover the classics.
It is virtually impossible to outline every ski touring destination in France where you could go. That is the beauty of ski touring! You can go anywhere!
One of the best ways to organise a ski touring trip is to select a region, and then get the map for that area. There are specific ski touring maps that you can buy. Check out FaceWest. They stock ski touring maps for £9.99.
There are also some useful guides you can get for inspiration. Alpine Ski Mountaineering Volume 1 and the Vanoise Guide both cover France and there are some guides by Vamos Editions which have been translated and cover various areas of France.
The Vanoise and Pyrenees are generally considered to be quieter regions for ski touring and you will often find quite huts and untracked snow.
Ski touring in France can be magnificent, the options are endless and the huts are plentiful. And of course it is one of the most accessible countries from the UK.
The Guides Bureau in Chamonix can be an excellent resource for best conditions across France. You could try being flexible and making a last minute decision based on conditions.
