FAQ: Planning Your Sea and Mountain Getaway

When is the best time for skiing near Nice? +
The ski season in the Southern Alps typically runs from mid-December to late March. January and February usually offer the best snow conditions. Visiting during the week is ideal to avoid weekend crowds.
Should I rent ski gear in Nice or at the resort? +
Both are great options. Renting at the resort (Isola 2000, Auron, Valberg) is convenient as you won't have to transport equipment. Renting in Nice can often provide more competitive rates.
Is it easy to drive to the ski resorts from Nice? +
Access is generally straightforward, but mountain roads require winter equipment (snow tires or chains) during the winter months. The "Bus des Neiges" is an excellent, stress-free alternative for those who prefer not to drive in mountain conditions.
