Top snow travel was an excellent service. This past winter (3-7-2026 ) was my first time outside the U.S. Over a Zoom meeting with Gilles I explained to him what I wanted in my trip and he took care of the rest. He stayed in touch via email answering any questions with a timely response despite the time difference. Once I selected a package, he put together an itinerary that was easy to follow making my travels simple. I would use Top Snow Travels service again and recommend their services. Thank you Gilles.
Response from the owner:Thank you Aaron for your 5-star review and for trusting Top Snow Travel with your first trip outside the U.S.
I’m very pleased to hear the planning process, communication and itinerary made your trip simple and easy to follow, especially with the time difference. That is exactly the experience I want every client to have.
It was a pleasure helping you put everything together, and I’d be very happy to help again with your next ski holiday in France.
Best regards,
Gilles
Gilles and Top Snow took care of all aspects of our trip - ground transfers, lodging, lift passes, lessons, rentals - making the trip stress-free. Gilles also provided a lot of guidance on choosing the right resort to visit for our family and 5-year-old grandson. And Arc 1950 didn't disappoint! The best pedestrian only, ski-in, ski-out resort we've stayed in and we've been to a few.
Very happy we used Top Snow and would recommend them for skiing the French Alps!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Steve, I really appreciate your kind words.
It was a pleasure helping you and your family put everything together, and I’m so glad Arc 1950 was such a great fit for you all. It’s one of my favourite resorts for families as well, especially with its pedestrian-only village, true ski-in ski-out convenience, and stress-free atmosphere.
I’m very pleased to hear everything ran smoothly from the transfers and accommodation through to the lift passes, lessons and ski hire.
Thanks again for trusting Top Snow Travel with your trip, and I’d love to help with your next French Alps ski holiday.
Had such a great Christmas & New Years ski trip at Les Arc 1950 all thanks to Gillies and the Top Snow Travel team!!
Perfect ski in/out accommodation which was spacious for the family (kids loved the pool after a days skiing). All mountain transfers, trains, ski hire and lift tickets sorted - we literally didn’t have to think about anything or stress ourselves out (especially coming from the other side of the world with young kids!).
Perfect recommendations for dinners and other snow activities.
Les Arc 1950 was perfect choice 🙏 such a cute village and it really topped our French Alps stay!
We’ll be sure to use Gillies when we return with the extended family in the future!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Luke. I really appreciate your kind words.
It was a pleasure helping you and your family put together your Christmas and New Year ski holiday in Arc 1950, and I’m so glad everything went smoothly from the accommodation and transfers through to ski hire, lift passes, restaurants and snow activities.
Travelling from Australia to the French Alps with young kids is a big trip, so making it feel seamless and stress-free is always the goal. I’m very happy to hear Arc 1950 was such a great fit for your family as well.
Thank you again for trusting Top Snow Travel with your holiday, and I’d love to help you again when you’re ready to come back with the extended family.
Gilles did a terrific job with our ski trip. We had 10 families go over to France for a birthday trip in January this year. Not all the families used Gilles but the ones that did, including ours, were very happy with his service. I knew which resort we wanted to go to but Gilles was fantastic at selecting and booking the accommodation (which was amazing) as well as suggesting and booking restaurants. He made everything run smoothly and i wouldn't hesitate to use him again on our next European ski holiday.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Mark. It was a pleasure helping with your France ski trip.
I’m very glad to hear you were happy with the accommodation and restaurant recommendations, and that everything ran smoothly for your family. For a big birthday trip like that, having the right setup makes all the difference.
Thank you again for your trust, and I’d love to help with your next France ski holiday.
Gilles and Top Snow Travel are the best! Our group of six can be picky and demanding, and Gilles built a trip that took care of us all in Courchevel 1850. Prompt, knowledgeable, and patient, it was a pleasure to work with Top Snow Travel. We were especially impressed with Gilles ability to work with the hotel(s) to accommodate our groups specific needs (and wow, le K2 Palace was amazing). Everything from transportation to ski guides to accommodations all happened like clockwork. We highly recommend Top Snow Travel and look forward to working with Gilles for our next French Alps ski trip!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the wonderful review, Shastan.
It was a real pleasure putting this Courchevel 1850 trip together for your group, and I’m glad everything came together smoothly — from the transfers and guiding through to the K2 Palace set-up and the hotel coordination around your group’s needs.
I really appreciate the recommendation, and I’d love to help again when you’re ready for the next French Alps trip — whether it’s back to Courchevel or something different like Val d’Isère for a more lively village and après-ski scene.
I first discovered Top Snow Travel on YouTube. After viewing several of Gilles' videos and appreciating the wealth of experience and depth knowlegde he had in relation to French Alps and Resorts; I decided to reach out to Gilles to assist with planning our families "last minute booking" trip to France skiing. Gilles was very approachable, professional and incredibly responsive providing thorough advice on all matters skiing, lessons/guides, lifts, on/off mountain activities for my non-skiing wife, accomodation options, transfers, dining options, etc....along with answering every conceivable question one could ask. The options assessment and booking process was swift, effortless and the resultant trip to Meribel 3 Vallees France amazing. If you are looking to ski France I highly recommend you contact Gilles at Top Snow Travel. Thanks for making our families recent trip easy and thus a fond and memorable experience Gilles!
Response from the owner:I’m really glad the YouTube videos helped you find us, and that we were able to pull together a smooth “last-minute” Méribel (3 Vallées) trip for your family. It was a pleasure helping you with everything.
Thanks again for trusting me with your holiday planning and I’d love to help with your next France ski trip whenever you’re ready.
We had a great trip to Meribel thanks to Top Snow Travel. Well appointed ski-in/ski-out accommodation in a great location with awesome service from Gilles. He gave us all the tips to enjoy the trip, his knowledge and recommendations for restaurants and bars was fantastic.
Response from the owner:Tony, thank you for the 5-star review.
I’m really pleased you had a great Méribel trip and that the ski-in/ski-out accommodation and location were a perfect fit. Glad the local tips and restaurant/bar recommendations helped you make the most of your time in resort.
Thanks again for booking with Top Snow Travel — I’d love to help with your next France ski holiday.
Top Snow Travel did an excellent job orchestrating and planning our family ski vacation to the French Alps. From the very beginning, Gilles was incredibly responsive, patient, and helpful in tailoring the trip to our specific needs—especially traveling with a young child and wanting an authentic European village experience.
Arc 1950 was a great choice for our family, with a charming town center and a fantastic location. While weather and snow conditions were challenging at times (completely out of anyone’s control), Top Snow’s planning and support made the trip as smooth as possible.
A true highlight of our vacation was the private transfer arranged by Top Snow. Our driver, Sam (the owner of the car service), was outstanding—professional, safety-focused, and proactive. His advice to leave early due to weather concerns turned out to be absolutely the right call, and we are very grateful for his careful drive to Geneva.
Overall, Top Snow Travel delivered exactly what they promised: thoughtful planning, excellent communication, and dependable partners on the ground. Gilles was a pleasure to work with and always quick to answer questions. Despite some uncontrollable weather challenges, our family had a great experience, and I would absolutely recommend Top Snow Travel to anyone planning a ski trip to the French Alps.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the wonderful review, and for trusting Top Snow Travel with your family ski holiday.
We're delighted Arc 1950 delivered the authentic European village feel you were looking for — it really is a brilliant choice for families, especially with a young child, thanks to the pedestrian village centre and easy access to the slopes.
You’re absolutely right that the weather can be unpredictable at times, but we’m pleased our planning and on-the-ground support helped keep everything as smooth and stress-free as possible. I’m also very glad the private transfer was a highlight — Sam is an outstanding operator, and I’ll make sure he sees your kind words. His call to leave early in those conditions is exactly the sort of proactive, safety-first approach we prioritise.
Thank you again for the recommendation. It was a genuine pleasure helping you put this trip together, and we’d love to assist with your next ski holiday in the French Alps whenever you’re ready.
