The “Niçois” (people of Nice) are proud of their city and their region and they have every reason to be…
Summer or winter, it’s easy to have a great holiday on the Côte d’Azur. Indeed, only the French Riviera offers such beautiful landscapes that harmoniously combine the sun, the sea and magnificent mountain ranges!
Skiing all day followed by a late-afternoon seaside stroll is a dream that can come true.
Book a stay on the French Riviera for your February holidays and enjoy a day of skiing less than an hour and a half from Nice!
When you select Nice for your February holidays, you get both the charm of the French Riviera with its palm trees, its rich culture, and its magnificent landscapes and sunsets over the sea, while still being within easy reach of the mountains and their ski slopes.
Whatever your fancy, whether with family or among friends, Nice and its surroundings offers you numerous outdoor activities! Alpine skiing, mountain biking on snow, sleigh rides or nordic walking in abundant natural settings.
Whether you’re a hiking fan, photography buff or nature lover, choose the French Riviera for your February holidays and fall in love with its heavenly havens and unique 360-degree panoramas combining the wonderful deep blue of the sea with the whiteness of snow-covered peaks.
For all you ski lovers out there, you’ll have access to 2 ski areas close to Nice: Auron, the largest ski resort in the department (135 km of runs, 42 runs), and Isola 2000, above 2000 meters in altitude and reputed for the amount of snow on its runs and the multitude of off-slope activities on offer.
And whatever you do, don’t miss the magnificent view of the sea from the Cime de Sisteron !
The day-pass price is the same for the 2 resorts: €33 for adults and €25 for children under 12.
If you’d like to spend a quiet day in the mountains with your children during your February holiday on the French Riviera, I recommend Valberg, a lovely village-resort with a Family+ rating, located just 86 km from Nice. It offers a wide variety of activities for children with special slopes and child-friendly amenities. The price of the day pass is €26 for adults, €23 for children under 12.
