Beginner skiers

There is an excellent beginners area with easy lifts that are separated from the advanced skiers. There's a selection of very wide open pistes and easy runs winding through the trees.

The pistes of Peisey-Vallandry are varied and have an abundance of intermediate runs. Over 50% could be considered intermediate level - a fun place for families to enjoy.

Intermediate skiers and snowboarders will find the Peisey-Vallandry area a brilliant place to hone skills. There are wide open blues and not-too-tricky reds that will keep you entertained for months.

Advanced skiers

An abundance of skiing for the more advanced is available, with lots of relatively easily accessible off piste such as La Grive (local knowledge and stable conditions required) as well as masses of tree runs from the Derby chairlift.
