Skiing
The great ski areas of les Arcs and la Plagne are now linked by the Vanoise Express cable car to form the Paradiski ski area with Peisey Vallandry as the hub. This gives direct access to over 400km of marked pistes from 1200 to 3200m including the 2000m drop Aiguille Rouge piste, snowparks, and a huge extent of off piste skiing.
Lift passes vary from a simple half day pass for the Peisey Valladry area to a pass covering all the resorts in the Tarentaise - the 3 Vallées, Val d'Isère/Tignes, La Plagne, La Rosière (linked to La Thuile in Italy) and St Foy.
For younger skiers there is a creche with organised games and introduction to skiing in the snow 'garden'. For older beginners, there are long green and blue pistes through the woods from the Poudreuse mountain restaurant right back to the village. There is an excellent ski school with English speaking instructors with group and individual lessons. Cross country skiing is provided for in the picturesque Nancroix valley.
Travel
By air - to Chambery or Annecy (1¼ hrs), Lyon or Geneva(2 hrs).

We recommend that you have a car at the chalet to enjoy the surrounding area in summer, although in winter, it is possible to get there by public transport (train to Landry and bus or taxi to the chalet).
Further details
Summer activities include paragliding, white water rafting, golf (9 and 18 hole courses), tennis, climbing, mountain biking and fishing. The Vanoise National Park is nearby.
The village itself is smaller and less commercial than some other resorts and has been developed with a traditional alpine architectural style. It has all the shops necessary for your holiday and there are a range of bars and restaurants in the village - from the lively Jimmys après ski bar (dancing on the tables) through to the Bergerie de Raphael (very traditional Savoyard restaurant).
