For a century, the French Alps have been the stage of winter’s greatest story: the birth, rise, and reinvention of skiing as we know it. From shepherds gliding on wooden planks to aristocrats chasing glamour, from Chamonix’s 1924 Winter Olympics to Courchevel’s jet-set era, and from Cold War concrete utopias to today’s climate crisis, Snow & Splendor tells the dazzling history of France’s legendary ski resorts.
Julien Peltier takes readers on a sweeping journey through time and snow — where mountaineers, architects, celebrities, and visionaries shaped entire valleys into cultural icons. Rich with storytelling, cultural insight, and dramatic human moments, this book captures the Alps as you’ve never seen them before: not just mountains, but mirrors of ambition, leisure, and change.
Perfect for skiers, history lovers, Francophiles, and fans of travel writing, Snow & Splendor is the definitive tale of how France invented modern skiing — and what its future holds.
