Winter is almost there, only the snow is missing in the UK. Despite the financial crisis, numerous people are planning to spend their winter holidays in France in the Alps. The French Alps have been a ski hot spot for decades now and that means that there are multiple ski slopes and activities for all the family. If you are a ski amateur and love to spend a few weeks per year in the Alps then why do you still pay for the accommodation?
