Try Montgenvre.

We are back there for a second time at Christmas - there already is good snow there.

There are good open spaces for boarders - my daughter is a boarder and she rates the area highly.

The night life is quieter than some resorts but there are onr or two lively bars and some good restaurants.

If you progress well try L'Aigle lift which lifts you up to a run down to Italy (Claviere) there is a great Italian Restaurant on the way down.

Enjoy

Mark, Les Arcs is good and gives access to La Plagne. It is essentially the home of snow boarding, check the resort guide on this site for more info http://www.packyourskis.com/Ski-Holidays-Les%20Arcs.aspx. it is full of young happening, stylish, snowboaders from which you will learn lots. accomodation to suit all.

Alpe d'Huez will also see you amongst the thick of it with snowboarders, accomodation budgets to suit all here aswell, and plenty to learn there with snowboarding parks schools a plenty! http://www.packyourskis.com/Ski-Holidays-Alpe%20d%20Huez.aspx

Snowboarding Resort For Beginners

Hi Everyone,

I am looking to go snowboarding sometime in the next few months with some friends. Most of us have not been snowboarding before so we are looking for a resort suitable for beginners. Can anyone recommend some good resorts in France?

Thanks.
