There are so many tourist attractions in Europe, why go skiing?

Where there is a relative shortage of snow fields in China.

Natural conditions: lack of altitude and snowfall lead to short snow season. Personally, this is actually the biggest obstacle to the emergence of large-scale high-quality snow resorts in China. At present, in addition to Changbai Mountain and Zhangjiakou, there are snow resorts in Xinjiang, and other snow resorts rely on snow machines. The quality of snow is difficult to guarantee, and it will also cause damage to the environment.

Snowfield scale: the limitation of natural conditions directly leads to the limitation of snowfield scale. The number, length and difficulty of snow trails are difficult to compare with those in Alps. Wanda has built a new ski resort with more than 30 ski trails in Changbai Mountain. Personally, I think it is already in a leading position in China, but it is only equivalent to the level of a small and medium-sized ski resort in France. And more snow fields just stay in single digits.

As for the design of snow trails, one kilometer of snow trails is a boastful capital in China, while three kilometers of snow trails abound in France. The longest single snow trail that the author has ever skied is Mafia Sarenne at the Dewitz Snow Station in the Alps, with a total length of over 16 km, which is the longest underworld in Europe, and it has dropped directly from 3,300 m to1800 m.

Compared with French snow resorts, the design of China Snow Trail is relatively simple, and the high-level underworld is the basic one that can reach 30 degrees. But in the underworld of France, either the slope is extremely steep (it can reach 50 or 60 degrees), or there are huge snow bags everywhere, which is also very sour.

Supporting facilities: In fact, for some newly-built snow resorts, the cable car is relatively new and modern, no less than that of French snow resorts, but in other aspects, catering, accommodation and ski rental are still at the level of tourist attractions, and the user experience is still very low.

For restaurants in domestic snow resorts, it is very expensive and unpalatable in one word. On the contrary, the restaurants in French Snow Resort are equally delicious even at the top of the mountain, and the price is completely acceptable.

In terms of accommodation, luxury hotels are the main areas around the snow in China, which is still very expensive for ordinary people (si). With food and drink, the budget is swish. However, in France, the accommodation in the snow field is mostly apartments. There are all kinds of supermarkets and bakeries on the mountain, and the friends are happy to make them themselves, and the price is not expensive (after all, they cook at home).

For the rental of ski equipment, the ski equipment provided by many ski resorts in China turned out to be outdated skis with upturned front ends and slender boards in the last century, and only a few so-called big-headed boards (normal carbine boards) were used by people who understood. Snowshoes are also single-button antique snowshoes. It is not easy to learn skiing with such equipment. It is more suitable to be a human torpedo.

Therefore, there are still many places that can be improved and improved in domestic ski resorts at present, so we should get down to business. Why do you want to go skiing in France? Speaking of distance, our neighbor Japan has many snow fields. Some are the powder snow paradise in people's minds, or there are a large number of ski resorts in Alps, Switzerland, Italy and Austria. Why did you come to France alone?

The French Alps are endowed with unique natural conditions, located on the golden line of 37 degrees north latitude, with endless mountains, especially high-altitude glacier snow fields, which do not melt all year round, thus ensuring excellent snow quality and a long snow season from 1 1 month to early May.

At the same time, because all parts of France are affected by the maritime climate, even in mountainous areas, the temperature is still very mild and will not make people feel chilly. For example, in the coldest February, les 2 Alpes Snow Resort is only MINUS 13 degrees at an altitude of 3400m, which is much warmer than our three eastern provinces. Moreover, due to the blocking of mountains, the winds from the north and south will be greatly weakened, so warm and windless eyes are a major feature of the French snowfield.

The reason why Xueyuan stands out in the world is precisely because of the perfect natural conditions endowed by God, which gave birth to the largest Xueyuan Group in the world. For example, Les 2 Alpes-Alpes d 'Huez in Izel province, Paradiski and Espace Killy in Sava province are all giant ski resorts with more than 200 ski resorts with a total length of more than 300 kilometers. Snow Resort has a variety of snow trails, as well as a unique snow park that can make freestyle lovers linger, plus modernization. So when I ski, I will meet many corrupt China people, Russians, Germans, pear-wearers and Americans. Schumacher also comes to France to ski every year, but unfortunately he has been in a coma since the gutter capsized. (It happened that the author was skiing in another snowfield 50 kilometers away from the snowfield where the accident happened, and he was shocked when he heard the radio when he went down the mountain. )

Of course, there are more medium-sized ski resorts with 50 to 60 ski resorts, each with its own characteristics, which is not inferior to the ski resort design and more beautiful natural scenery. For the French, it is even the first choice for a holiday.

Compared with neighboring countries, the skiing cost in France is much lower than that in Switzerland, and it is also cheaper than that in Austria and Italy. Of course, local tyrants can automatically skip this festival.

Take Alpes Province as an example. 133 The total length of the snow trail is 250km, covering an area of 1 000 hectares. The height difference 1400m to 3300m snowfield, the single-day fare is 48.5 euros, and the six-day joint ticket is 248 euros. Coupled with the weak euro this year, it is more convenient for domestic skiers to ski in China at the same price. I believe everyone knows that.

Low accommodation price and perfect supporting facilities make skiers completely out of the hotel's high consumption mode. Of course, this is also related to the holiday mode of family skiing in France, and renting apartments and cottages is the absolute mainstream. The author once lived in Laplagne Snow Resort for a week in the peak season of February. The six-person apartment next to the cable car only needs 200e a week, and everyone has plenty of food and clothing. It only takes 100 e for a week to eat and live, which is absolutely valuable. In the off-season, such cheap accommodation is even more accessible to mobile phones, and such prices also make skiing affordable for more people, which is why skiing is a national sport in France, not a luxury sport.

Excellent service and perfect supporting facilities, the last thing you need to worry about when skiing in France is the quality of service. There are all kinds of ski shops, supermarkets, bars and restaurants around the ski resort, and the ski room in the apartment laundry room is in front of you. When you arrive at the ski resort, various maps show that the weather will never make you get lost, and restaurants on the mountain are as delicious as bars.

Skiing teaching is another major feature of France. The French ski school has resident coaches in almost every ski resort, and the sign is wearing a red ski suit with ESF characters printed on the back. Coaches are old, humorous, young, super cool and nice. They can teach skiers at all levels with high quality, and most of them can speak English. Their professional level is absolutely first-class. Many coaches are professional players when they are young, and they are called coaches after layers of assessment.

Convenient traffic conditions. Skiing in France from China, whether flying to Geneva or Lyon, has buses to the cities at the foot of the snowfield, such as Grenoble, Chambery, Chambery and so on. Some can even go straight to the snowfield, and the driving time is less than three hours, which is definitely the rhythm of going up the mountain when you get off the plane.
