Annecy is only an hour away from The Three Valleys (Les Trois Vall\u00e9es) the largest ski domain in the Alps with 600km of prepared and maintained pistes. The slopes connect the ski resorts of Courchevel, Meribel, La Tania, Val Thorens and Les Menuires. I myself have spent a ski season in The Three Valleys and can vouch for it being one of the best locations that I have ever snowboarded!<\/p>\n
If you want to ski closer to Annecy, why not visit the ski resort \u201cLa Clusaz\u201d , just 30 minutes drive away . If you like, you can follow your morning French classes with half a day\u2019s skiing in the afternoon , as it is so close!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Finally, after immersing yourself in the French language in the morning and perfecting your carving skills on the slopes in the afternoon , why not warm yourself up by sampling a \u201cRaclette,\u201d one of the local delicacies. Raclette is the name both of this Swiss dish and the cheese used in it. The cheese is melted under an electric grill element and scraped over delicious accompaniments.<\/p>\n

Annecy, also known as \u201cLittle Venice,\u201d is certainly one of, if not the most quintessentially French town I have visited. It is not often that the beauty of a location really takes my breath away but Annecy definitely did that.<\/p>\n
Additionally, throughout the month of December the locals will be pulling out all the stops for visitors: twinkling Christmas lights, activities for visitors of all ages, concerts, nativities, two Christmas markets and an ice rink, everything that one needs to make the perfect stay in Annecy even more special!<\/p>\n
Annecy is particularly stunning at Christmas time, everything covered with snow, giving it a truly festive Alpine atmosphere.<\/p>\n
