📝 Summary

In the current winter season, Russians, compared to the previous period, began to travel more often to the ski resort of Courchevel in the French Alps.

The increase in interest in the Alps has shown an increase since late November 2024. However, it is impossible to talk about mass demand, since such trips are most popular among ski lovers and citizens with large incomes. “Our tourist is a person with a good income who is used to choosing comfort. Family couples and families with children, as well as companies of friends go, the representative of the tour operator PAC Group reports. About a third of all travelers are parents with children. On average, they spend on resorts from five to seven days. In most cases, trips to the Alpine mountains are purchased through tour operators that provide visa support, the publication notes, citing data from such companies. At the same time, many organizations provide services for hiring ski instructors and transporting passengers, including the use of helicopters. Statistics on arrivals of citizens of the Russian Federation to the resorts is not public, which creates difficulties in estimating the share of bookings by Russians of tours to Europe, said in a conversation with the publication the General Director of the tour operator "Jet Travel" Maxim Pristavko. Earlier it became known about the intention of Russia and Myanmar to sign an agreement on visa-free travel in March this year. Also in 2025, Russian Railways plans to open 100 routes for tourist trains, the head of the company Oleg Belozerov said in an interview with Russia 24.
