Is there skiing near Nice, France? How is Nice compared to Grenoble?

Question

I'm thinking of studying in Grenoble or Nice. Which place would be good for a young person who likes being outdoors. I like skiing, climbing, windsurfing, and running. How far is skiing from Nice?

Answer 1

Nice is on the mediteraneen coast close to cannes, it's a really worm place in France and a lot of people go there on  holiday.

Grenoble is more inside the country close to the alpes so, close to sky station, it's also a lot colder and humide.

Grenoble is more nature, climbing (skiing at 50km) and nice is more nautic sports but nice is also close to the alpes mountains (150km to the ski stations).

I would prefer Nice because i like good weather and good weather mean more outdoors things, grenoble is not a exiting place. And for skiing you have a lot of cheep train or buses to go there.

Answer 2

Nice - much warmer than Grenoble.

Skiing in Grenoble, windsurfing near Nice, and running, pretty much anywhere.
